New Year = More Savings!



With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season finally over it is time to begin planning how 2015 can be your greatest business year yet. There is no better time than now to implement a few key changes that can help streamline your company and reduce unnecessary expenditures.
The perfect place to begin is with revisiting your current telephone system. Often throughout the year phone companies increase rates, add new taxes, or “bundle” services in appealing packages that actually cost you more for services you won’t use. Be sure to double check that you are not overpaying or paying for something you don’t use. Also keep in mind that new advancements in phone systems are being achieved. These advancements help save money, protect your valuable time, and help your business run smoothly. Updating your current phone system to a newer system could save you up to 75% on your monthly phone service. Are you not sure how to tell if you could be saving money? Affordable Telephone Systems offers a phone system audit by experienced telecom professionals who will be able to tell you where you are overspending on your phone service and they will recommend the telephone system that is just right for your business. Give them a call today and start saving money now!

Have you really protected everything?



By now you already know that having a security system for your small business is a must but is it performing at its maximum potential or is it operating at its minimum capabilities? Will an intruder be able to snatch up one or more of your valuable assets and leave before the police arrive? Don’t wait to find out - Do something about it! You can set up your security system to do more than just sound an alarm when someone breaks in. What about double protecting your assets? Hackers are constantly keeping up with technology and they know how to access any computer, cell phone, or tablet you may have to get into your network. You need to be diligent and protect your assets and your information.  Keeping your electronics in a locked and monitored room is a good way to keep track of your equipment. At the end of each day have your employees shut down the company electronics and if they are portable, lock them away. This will minimize the number of electronics a hacker has access to and an intruder can steal. You can have the lock be as fancy or as simple as you please. A nifty card swipe reader will allow only authorized and trusted employees to access the locked room. A simple passcode lock means every employee can have access but an intruder would have another layer of protection to get through. Affordable Telephone Systems can help you install the security system that will leave criminals who attack your business empty handed. Call them today!

Enhance the Speed of Your Office



Almost all businesses run some type of a database, whether it is a medical office that has a patient database, a retail store with an inventory database, or a service based company like a plumber who has a client database. Everyone has the need to either store information, download information, or send information. The type of data cabling your office runs on could be affecting the speed at which your employees work. If you can only download less than one gigabit per minute you are handicapping your employees and you should give serious thought to upgrading to structured data cabling. 
There are three types of structured data cabling and the needs of your office will determine what a telephone company will install. A Cat5e is the most economical structured data cabling. It can transmit up to one gigabit of information and is a good choice for many small businesses. Cat6 structured data cabling has the capacity to transmit larger amounts of information up to 10 gigabits. Cat7 structured data cabling has the same capacity that the Cat6 structured data cabling has only it is shielded which makes it less prone to electromagnetic interferences. Structured data cabling is the way to go in order to keep your business running at peak efficiency. Just remember that improper installation can wreak havoc on your structured data cabling system so be sure to hire expert structured data cabling installation professionals. Make Affordable Telephone Systems your one stop shop for all your structured voice and data cabling needs. They will help you get your office outfitted with the best structured data cabling for your company.
