5 MOST COMMON ISSUES AMONG PHONE SYSTEM FAILURES


Your system can fail from many different causes. You could have a network failure, have a bad line of code, or even a failing motherboard. To help you understand what is going wrong with your system, we wanted to share the five most common issues we’ve seen with our clients.
  • Memory Leaks: This occurs when your phone basically doesn’t work. Your phone rings, but you can’t hear anything. You try to call your coworker, but it doesn’t dial.
  • Board Failure: Signs of this type of failure is when you lose multiple phones all at once.
  • Trunk Failure: Outbound and inbound calls don’t go through.
  • Hard drive failure: This could be the result of an old machine. Your actual phone stops working and won’t turn on.
  • Network failure: If it’s a network failure, your phone is fine, but without a network, you can’t do business.



Most people don’t think of their phones being connected to a network. Most of your electronic devices require software updates, so you can maintain the same hardware. With advancements in technology, this modern-day requirement can create issues with your physical phone system and cause you to get new parts or even a new system


Our guide, Why phones fail: a guide to getting help faster, instructs you on the significance in documenting your system failures. Download your free copy!

Outsourcing: an overview

Outsourcing: an overview Outsourcing today simply involves using external entities to handle specific, specialized business functions so that organizations can focus on their core competencies. The idea of seeking outside support for areas that are not core to a business is many decades old. However, seeking support from external providers can make a lot of sense, especially in fields that involve considerable complexity. One example, as human resources becomes increasingly complex practice, especially in areas that involve often complex and arcane laws such as benefits and employment law, many smaller companies are increasingly outsourcing some or all of their HR tasks. IT is another example. Like human resources, IT covers a wide range of specialties, for which no one or two individuals can possibly hope to be fully versed in. As the CEO of a small- to medium-sized firm, or perhaps a line manager, why should you consider outsourcing all or part of the IT function? One immediate rea

So, what is this “Unified Communications” thing, anyhow?

So, what is this “Unified Communications” thing, anyhow? Have you heard the term unified communications tossed around lately? It seems to be used a lot in IT, telecomm, and work collaboration circles. Unified communications is a newer concept that refers to a conceptual platform where multiple communications channels can join together to increase productivity and facilitate collaboration. Here’s one way to look at it. Imagine that you only own one car. And imagine it is a sporty two seater. And then imagine you decide to invite five of your friends, none of whom are able to drive, out to dinner. This means you would have to pick each one up separately and drive him or her to the restaurant. And of course, one of them lives down an old rough farm road, so you have to drive very slowly so you don’t damage the underside of your expensive little two seater. This scenario is pretty similar to the way we handle business communications today. We aren't able to just throw everyone together

MSPs save money. And you get stuff that matters. Outsourcing has become a fairly common element in business processes today. What started off as a means to cut business costs and take advantage of cheaper resources based offshore has now become an essential part of running a business today. (Its definition doesn’t necessarily include offshore outsourcing, of course) This blog looks at two additional areas where IT outsourcing can dramatically improve revenues. In particular, outsourcing can avoid high-fixed costs when you are trying to meet peak demand periods or have 24/7 coverage available. Cost benefits Having an MSP manage your IT infrastructure completely offers tremendous cost savings vis-a-vis having an in-house IT team. When you have FT IT professionals on your payroll, you incur many other HR and training-related costs that come with employing full-time staff. These may include 401(k) expenses, health insurance, paid time-off, etc., which can be avoided by outsourcing your IT
