Questions to ask prior to the purchase of a Phone System

Here are some questions that need to be asked prior to the purchase of a business phone system. Some businesses purchase their business telephone system based on the current size of their company. What they don't take into consideration is potential growth in the future. Determining how large your business may grow in the future should eliminate many major problems in the future. Here are some things to consider:Compare the maximum number of telephones and central office lines your phone system can handle in relation to the maximum number of users in the future. In other words will my business phone system grow with my business? If the answer is yes you are in good shape. Another important question to ask is will I be able to add voice mail or any other feature in the future? Make sure upon purchase if these features are necessary now or in the future, the phone system software will be compatible. For instance, if you require 4-8 lines and less than 10 telephones, the Norstar CICS would be ideal. This system can handle up to 8 lines and a maximum of 16 telephones. If you had a system requirement that needed 8-10 business lines and 15-20 telephones, the Norstar MICS would be the proper choice.
