Not all business VoIP is created equal

Business VoIP is nothing but shades of grey. There is no black and white. There are many hosted PBX, IP PBX, and internet phone systems that are all different. There is no brand leader that is automatically trusted. The closest thing is Vonage, and they shouldn't even be on your radar if you run any type of a serious business operation. Business VoIP and IP phone systems are going to take over completely in the next 5 - 10 years. Right now, it is in infancy, and choosing the wrong business VoIP solution has a downside so massive, you won't know what hit you.

As business customers we are accustomed to voice service being somewhat of a commodity. Most business organizations compared long distance rates for example, and simply want the best rate. They know that with either company their phone calls are going to be completed, and there's not much downside to it. Same thing goes for local phone service and PBX phone systems. Avaya is the biggest name in PBX, and it's because they are the cheapest. Their product is practically given away which makes their brand name omnipresent.

While it's fine to go with a trusted brand like Avaya based on cost, although it wouldn't be my first choice, the product is not going to be bad. What it is not fine to do, is try to go into business VoIP with this same mentality. The best business VoIP solution will solve a myriad of problems for any business in one swoop. The worst business VoIP solution will cause a myriad of problems you never saw coming. That's why we're here. Xpander created the IP Xtreme all-in-one phone system to bring black and white into this crazy business VoIP world filled with shades of grey. The first friendly business VoIP solution is here and now.
