Buying/Evaluating a phone system?
October 27, 2009
For starters interview several vendors and “partner” with the one that you want to do business with. This is an important first step as most reputable manufactures (Avaya, Interactive Intelligence, Siemens and Cisco) all have similar products and depending on the size of your company all will perform well. This is why it’s important to find the correct vendor for your business and make sure that they understand what you do, how you do it and what goals you’re trying to accomplish – not just how many phones you need and what the “flavor of the week” is in terms of the technology. It’s not the technology that solves problems, it’s the people; the technology is the vehicle in which the problem is solved. Also, try to find a vendor that will educate you on what is available in the market place and also represents several manufactures. This will enable you to make the correct decision that is right for you – empower yourself. The sales cycle is typically 6-9 months (give or take) because there is so much that goes into the evaluation process. Most legitimate best in class business phone systems range in price from $8k to over $100k depending on applications and complexity.
