THINK BEYOND THE DIAL-TONE!

Imagine what you could do with your phone system, and what it could do for you.

Of course, you need a phone system to make and receive calls. But the right system can do so much more. With IP Office, it can be an investment in your future, one that pays off in real and significant ways. Imagine how IP Office can help you:

Reduce your costs
If you have traditional landlines, switching to voice over IP (VoIP) can save you money on your monthly bills, and your phones will still work the same way they do now!

Make your staff accessible anywhere
With just one phone number, callers can reach the right employee on their deskphone or smartphone. Fewer missed calls means fewer missed opportunities!

Help your workers be mobile inside your business
Wireless phone technology allows your staff to move around the office and take calls when they’re away from their desks!

Support mobile workers outside the office
When you extend all the communication capabilities available in the office to smartphones and tablets outside the office, the world is your workplace.

Help improve productivity
What if you could instantly see if a co-worker is available and send an instant message or call, all from the same screen on your PC or mobile device?

Allow you to tailor features to individual users
Different workers have different needs. Give each category just the features they need to perform at their best.

YOUR SMALL BUSINESS COULD BE GOING MOBILE!

Things are changing for small businesses
Workers are becoming more mobile, and not just technicians and business travelers. Mobile devices are everywhere. Occasionally, one of your employees may need to work from home when a family emergency arises. If it’s not happening at your company yet, it may soon.

Yes, things are changing. But customers still expect the same thing: a great experience. That’s true whether you have four employees or 400, in the office or on the road.

More than a third of U.S. small businesses say that at least a quarter of their staff members work remotely at least occasionally. (Forrester, “Forrsights Networks and Telecommunications Survey, Q1 2013,” January 2013)

With IP Office, your staff can look like they’re in the office, and have access to the same communications capabilities, even when they’re working remotely. It’s easy to add features to support mobility without losing the investment you make today.

Whenever you’re ready for change, IP Office is too.

Avaya IP Office is a Smart Investment in Your Future!

You know what’s right for your business.
If a phone system that’s simple and affordable is all you need, IP Office is the perfect choice. If you want to continue using your existing Avaya analog and digital phones, IP Office will allow you to protect your investment.

And when you’re ready to think beyond the dial tone and change your notions of what a small business phone system should do, IP Office gives you options. You can add packages to support mobility, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve your bottom line.  When You’re Ready.

With IP Office, your communications investment will never be at risk.
You’re not locked in. It’s easy to add on the features you want, whenever you want. It’s your choice, and whatever you decide to do, IP Office makes it easy and hassle-free. The Avaya IP Office Platform reinvents what a phone system can do. With investment protection built in.

Avaya IP Office Platform

Imagine what a Small Business Phone System can do.

Your Phone System is a Lifeline for your Small Business

Even with so many ways to communicate today, the telephone is still a major gateway to your business. Your customers still call to ask questions. Your sales staff still phones prospects. And conferences with vendors are a way of life. You need a phone system that meets the daily demands of your business—dependably and cost-effectively.

Maybe a basic, reliable phone system is all you need today. But as your business changes, you need a system that can easily and cost effectively change with you. One that won’t lock you in to what you buy today. One that gives you choices for what you may need tomorrow.

That’s where the Avaya IP Office Platform comes in. It will meet your needs, today, tomorrow, and beyond.
