 :: With the current slump in the economic climate and predictions that it will not only continue but probably get worse before it gets better, businesses need to look after every penny. Budgets are tight, every purchase and expense needs to be evaluated and wherever possible costs need to be cut.
The first cost savings are the most obvious such as, expense accounts, company vehicles, petrol allowance, non-essential marketing, staff cuts and price increases. One area where businesses tend to overlook potential savings is in-house systems such as IT and telecommunications. Call costs can be unnecessarily expensive. Despite the national telephone monopoly that operates in Spain there are a number of alternative routers and carriers that now operate across the Iberian peninsular. Some, like Europa Network offer a price promise that guarantees to provide its residential and business customers the lowest prices, with low cost calls from as little as just one cent to the UK. Residential offers include: home fixed-line services, low cost calls, dial up and ADSL internet provision.
Businesses can benefit from cost effective solutions for fixed line, mobile and Internet access in Spain. These solutions can be tailored to meet the needs of all business types and sizes from home workers to head offices. Everything is supplied ready to go - except hand-sets - including personalised messages for your business. You can even transfer your existing Telefónica numbers or divert UK callers to a Spanish number.If reduced call costs don’t offer enough savings then outsourcing could be the answer. With a quality managed business telecoms service you can focus all your energy on running and growing your business, not on trying to co-ordinate additional lines or to report faults. All that’s required to implement this type of service is an ADSL line and call quality is the same as a standard fixed line. Integrate all of your company’s locations together under one system and reduce your up-front and ongoing communication costs. With a traditional phone system 70 per cent of the system’s worth depreciates as soon as it´s out of the box. A hosted or managed PBX reduces maintenance expenses as moves, changes and add-ons no longer require on-site visits by a phone or computer engineer. The supplier takes care off all this remotely within a few hours. Systems offer advanced features that will enhance the way you control your calling and if you are concerned about safety and security, then a managed telecoms system protects your company’s calling infrastructure with specialised, secure off-site hosting. Even if your ADSL line is down callers can still communicate with you.
So if you are looking to change costly and resource intensive systems evaluate your telecoms and you could be quid’s’ in.:: |
