NETWORK OFFICE PHONE SYSTEMS
   

Ventech Information Systems is an authorized 3COM Partner for the NBX family of Office Phone Systems.

There is a sea change currently underway with office phone systems.  The next generation office phone system takes advantage of the integration of voice and data networks to deliver advanced features as well as tremendous cost-savings.   

Integrating voice and data means your voice and data are carried on the same cables.  Your phones don't stop working if your network server crashes, the phone system is just sharing the cables.  The 3COM NBX meshes seamlessly into an existing data network ... no additional cabling is required.  Below you will find a description of the key NBX features.  Feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions.  

So how can the 3COM NBX help any business grow, and at the same time deliver cost savings?

With voice and data traffic sharing the same set of cables, you only have one cable-plant to administer and maintain.
Every 3COM NBX system sold includes voice mail, conferencing, paging, and almost any standard feature you could want in a phone system, plus advanced features that are only possible with a network-based phone system.
Over 90 percent of the administration events that presently require an expensive service call can be taken care of quickly and easily, in house.  As an example, if you need to add a new employee extension or move an employee to a new location, you can do so in a matter of minutes.  No service technician required, no expensive service call, and no down time waiting on a technician to show up.  
If you can use Microsoft Windows, in about 30 minutes you can learn how to program each phone, as well as the entire phone system.  With the NBX, you have the freedom to constantly change how your phone system behaves in order to better enhance your businesses productivity.  And you can make the changes yourself, quickly and easily.   
The included computer telephone integration applications will enhance your employees productivity from the day the system is installed.  Unify your voice and e-mails into the same inbox, have screen pops appear on your computer screen so you know who is calling before you have even answered the phone, and dial out from your address book.  
Your present phone system probably has some useful features, but how many employees actually use them?   Most traditional phone systems require a cryptic series of button presses to activate features such as speed dials or paging.  With the 3COM NBX business phone, the most commonly used features are already associated with labeled buttons.  And you can choose from up to 18 additional, programmable buttons to assign specific features that apply to your business.
The 3COM NBX is designed to scale in size as your business grows, which means you don’t have to overbuy now.  Likewise, you won’t have to scrap your investment in five years.  As your business grows you can incrementally add capacity ... With the NBX you don't have to worry about hitting a "brick wall," where you can no longer add more phones to your system.  
Long distance costs are more effectively managed.  You can have different carriers for different calling areas.  Your employees just dial the number they need to call.  They don't have to remember to enter a specific long-distance code, or which carrier is the least expensive for a given calling area; the system will automatically select the most cost-effective carrier based on the area they are calling.
Telecommuters can have an NBX business phone at home and it will behave just as if it is an extension at the home office.  You can even join multiple office locations into one seamless phone network.  Utilize a corporate WAN and you bypass the Public Phone Network, along with the associated toll charges.
Take advantage of highly sophisticated call center functionality which is included with every NBX sold.  How your incoming calls are routed is only limited by your imagination.  Calls can be routed to specific extensions as well as groups of extensions that share the same duties.  Incoming calls can be routed differently based on time of day, and day of week if you wish.  You decide what you want and the system takes care of the rest. 

3COM has long been a leader in simplifying how consumers and commercial organizations connect to information and services, and today offers worldwide coverage in over 48 countries.  3COM introduced Network Telephony in 1998, and in the year 2000, two out of every three Network Telephony solutions sold was a 3COM solution.  The 3COM NBX line of office phone systems offers the most mature operating system in the industry, and an included set of cost saving and productivity-enhancing features that are unrivaled.  Features such as Voice Mail, Automated Attendants, Hunt / Call Groups, and Call Detail Reporting, just to name a few, are included at no extra cost with every 3COM NBX system sold.

3COM's worldwide recognition as a leader in connectivity, combined with their dominance of the Network Telephony market makes them an obvious choice if you feel like your business is ready to take advantage of this revolutionary new technology.
