Telephone System Software
Almost every business will have some form of telephone system. It will be one of three types:
- An on-premise phone system
- A hosted (cloud) phone system
- A hybrid phone system (On-premise but cloud compatible)
All of these phone systems come with a range of standard features. Those features allow your business to make and receive calls. They also allow for the transferring of calls, and to set up useful solutions such as an out of hours message, hunt groups etc.
This type of business set-up is really all part of the phone system, and the features you have on that system, really will depend on the type of system and how old the phone system is. A new state of the art VOIP phone system is going to have a lot more features than a 10-20 year old Panasonic or Nortel system.
