Do you ever wonder whether your current phone system is best suited for your needs? With the new technologies available, perhaps there is a system out there that is less expensive and more robust. With all the acronyms like VoIP, vPBX, UC, and POTS, who can understand all the options?
Attend this free webinar and hear from Matt Bauer, CEO of BetterWorld Telecom. He will discuss:
How to assess and evaluate what you have
Give options for different size orgs
How do you make a decision and total cost of ownership
Set up and what do you need
Ongoing costs
What to do with your old phones
We will also tell you about the new BetterWorld Telecom donation through TechSoup, as well as GIPS PC Handset and Speaker Switch for VoIP.
