From keeping operations up and running and keeping in contact with clients to having a space to work, the stress of rebuilding after a natural disaster has a major effect on business owners and employees.

If you do a quick search on the web, you’ll come up with tons of articles comparing hosted and on premise phone systems. To quickly summarize, there are many benefits to choosing a hosted solution over on premise:

• Lower setup costs
• No maintenance fees or hassles—your monthly cost is predictable
• Easy disaster recovery planning—if you lose power at your office, you can quickly route calls to cell phones so you don’t miss a beat

One of the most important pieces of equipment in your office is your phone. Your phone is going to be the necessary means of communication to close deals, gain clients, and keep in touch with existing clients. Sure you can send an e-mail, but making a phone call is more personal and essential in building that strong bond between you and a client.

There are so many brands and models of phones that it makes it very confusing when you decide you need to upgrade your desk phone. You may start researching and find out that you need certain features you didn’t even know existed!
