How to Select cost-effective ip pbx in the digital communication era (1)

Today, with networks all over the world, digital communication is no longer a new concept. As an alternative to traditional PBX products, ip pbx (IP group telephone) is gradually forming a new generation of communication products that focus on traditional communication brain technologies and combine IP communication technologies and software technologies. In addition to the functions of traditional PBX, such as extension intercommunication, external line control, and communication permission division, Internet communication is also established in conjunction with international networks, metro networks, and various local networks, the formation of a distributed enterprise communication private network, in addition to strengthening the traditional functions, but also broke through the traditional regional restrictions. The Internet is your telephone line. It not only greatly facilitates users, but also greatly reduces communication costs and becomes the first choice for new-generation communication.

However, in recent years, a large number of ip pbx products have emerged. The selection of ip pbx brands has always been a major problem for users. How can we choose a product that suits us?

First, all brands of ip pbx can achieve almost the same basic functions, which may have their own characteristics in individual functional modules and settings. For Expensive Products, users worry that some functions can be used, and there is no need to buy such expensive products. For low-price products with relatively complete functions, users will worry about its performance and stability. It is not accurate to grasp the product quality simply in terms of price. Specifically, the key to different products is whether users understand their own needs clearly? Not all customers can really understand their own needs. They are truly "users" who can put forward what they need, it is also largely limited to traditional habits and recommendations from others. In terms of selection, the customer needs to believe in the solutions and recommendation products designed by the integrators for their own industries. This trust is essential, if you have other ideas and opinions, you can communicate with integrators to solve the problem. To avoid detours and waste.

Second, you must select a mature and stable product. Ip pbx products and technologies originated from abroad, but foreign products may not be suitable for China's national conditions, whether it is power, bandwidth, data encryption system, traffic platform, voice, signaling, even the usage habits are quite incompatible with China. Currently, ip pbx circulating in China has been released after improvements and adjustments in foreign products and technologies, and many products have more or less bugs, these huge and small bugs not only worried about the performance of the product, but also caused a headache for integrators. Therefore, when selecting a product, you need to select a product that has been available for an earlier period of time. After a long commercial experiment, it is important to have stable performance and few bugs.

Finally, we need to find the easy-to-use and easy-to-operate product in terms of configuration operations, which is also a concern of users. If the configuration process is cumbersome and the control and management process is complex and error-prone, the user cannot use it as he or she does not have.

In summary, products that meet the needs of the popular market require both low prices and complete functions, at least in terms of main functions and common functions. It must ensure good and stable performance, and be intuitive, simple, and easy to use.
