Visit our blog: www.comnetsolutions.us/blog/ for a valuable PDF document that illustrates how cloud telephony has evolved from previous business models and its alignment with the stages of technology evolution. Although cloud telephony is deployed through new VOIP technology originating from the internet (cloud) through a third party data center, its business model basically duplicates the original Bell System model of sole provider for all services and equipment at a reoccurring monthly rental (subscription) fee. Premise VOIP solutions through authorized manufacturer dealers however, build on the financial benefits clearly established by the interconnect industry years ago based on the ownership (purchase/lease) model plus the advantages of new VOIP technology and the confidence of premise reliability, security, hardware and software management.

VOIP Telephone System Solution Portfolio: System Reliability
Most of today’s sophisticated software controlled VOIP telephone systems have over 400 standard or optional features while most businesses only use an average of 10 to 12 on a daily basis. It is important to maximizing your system investment by converting relevant features into direct or indirect benefit, measureable impact and overall value to your specific business. This is done by aligning the system hardware and software configuration, feature allocation, programming and network access to the workplace (environment), the workforce (employees), the customers (callers) and the business goals and objectives. Partnering with a company like ComNet Solutions that embraces the solutions portfolio/benefit suites strategy through its customer lifecycle experience commitments can be just as important decision criteria as the system itself and the initial investment.

Listed below are ten valuable advantages of today’s VOIP telephone systems and networks over obsolete analog or aging digital systems. Trying to squeeze more investment return from current systems can often result in “obsolescence reinvestment” through lost customers, escalating operating costs, catastrophic system failure risk, reduced efficiency and individual productivity.
• A more cost-effective initial investment pricing model
• Lower ongoing operating costs and total cost of ownership
• Higher level of reliability, performance, serviceability and security
• Smaller footprint and integration with IT servers and cable infrastructure
• Greater functionality through software control and industry specific applications
• Cost-effective network connectivity reduces line costs and increases caller access
• Powerful unified messaging and multimedia collaboration applications
• Email, calendar and other personal productivity tool and CRM synchronization
• Mobile Android, IPhone and softphone tablet and laptop connectivity
• Ethernet pass-through with system (OAI) and station (CTI) computer integration
• Investment protection lifeline migration strategy

A Responsive Telephone System – Supports Positive Customer Lifecycle Experiences
One of the key business performance challenges in today’s competitive business landscape is to deliver positive customer lifecycle experiences and leverage revenue potential throughout that lifecycle. While yesterday’s consumer may have been brand, offering, company or people loyal, today’s volatile mix of boomer, generation X and Y business buyer and consumer is experience loyal and will typically seek out and do business with the company or offering that provides the most positive experience. While an obsolete telephone system can contribute to negative customer experiences, a contemporary VOIP system integrated with your information (computers/data) system and network and aligned with business goals can contribute to positive customer lifecycle experiences and maximizing profit potential at each state of the lifecycle.

Targeted Suspect – Has a need for your offering but has not expressed a desire to buy (Strategic top-of-mind marketing and universal access)

Interested Prospect – Has a need for your offering, has expressed a desire to purchase (Tactical marketing communications and buyer education)

Qualified Buyer – Is actively in the process of buying (Buyer engagement, decision support and initial sales)

Expectant Customer – Has purchased the desired offering with support expectations
(New customer support, offering implementation and incremental (add-on) sales)

Established Client – Existing client with ongoing service and offering support
(Lifecycle client support and sales and client circle of influence leveraged sales)

If it is time to update your obsolete telephone system and network, integrate it with your information system and align it with your business to drive positive customer experiences, contact ComNet Solutions: www.comnetsolutions.us or call Columbus: 614-210-0994 or Dayton: 937-231-3991

Six External Forces of SMB Impact
Virtually any, often uncontrollable external force of business change that impacts small and medium business (SMB) today falls into one of the six categories listed below. An obsolete communication (Phone/voice) system and network that is not updated, integrated with your information (Computers/data) system and aligned with your business can often compound the negative impact of these forces on your business. A telephone system deploying VOIP technology integrated and aligned can help harness these forces, drive business performance, deliver positive customer experiences and provide a competitive adangage while managing operational costs.

Society (Consumers): One of the most significant forces of impact is societal shifts driven by the generation power shift, a lifestyle transition, and growing “consumerism”.

Economy (Money): The second category of forces that are impacting businesses deals with global and local economic conditions, financial and investment challenges.

Marketplace (Industry): General business dynamics, marketplace inhibitors and industry trends and competitive environment consistently play a key role in the shaping of business.

Events (Environment): The perceived or real impact of current natural disasters, acts of terror and other man-made crisis situations.

Policy (Standards): Obviously one of the key forces of change deals with policy and the impact of government, regulatory, and standards on the industry and the business.

Innovation (Technology): This last force of change impacting business is technology evolution and the alignment of your information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and network to impact business performance.

If it is time for your telephone system and network to keep pace with your information system connect with the ComNet with over 125 years of combined employee industry experience and customer commitment. www.comnetsolutions.us or call Columbus: 614-210-0994 or Dayton: 937-231-3991.

Three Types of SMB Internal Business Challenges
The six external forces of change can create internal business challenges along with self-inflicted challenges created by the normal operation of the business. Through poor planning, marginal business decisions, outdated policies, unresponsive procedures, cumbersome processes, employee mistakes, obsolete technology and other factors, many businesses create their own challenges which can have a negative direct (hard) and indirect (soft) dollar impact on the business. Business challenges today fall into one of three basic categories.
Priority 1: Problems that must be solved to survive - Roadblocks
Priority 2: Needs that should be met to compete – Building blocks
Priority 3: Opportunities that can be leveraged to grow – Growth blocks
