Individual Codes for All!

When protecting your company it is best to install a security system and hire an outside company that can monitor your business and send you alerts when something is wrong. A third party monitoring company will bring impartiality and greater attentiveness to your business’ security.

One of the great features of having an outside company is that you gain access to the useful tools they have to offer like individual access codes. Any business that has employees has the responsibility to protect them while they are on the job. Assigning individual codes helps to safeguard the company by recording who disarms the security system, what time it is turned off, and what entry point was used to get into the building.

This information is important to the company for several reasons. First, it monitors exactly what time employees come and go. This helps the payroll department audit timecards for inaccuracies and keep the payroll costs at a minimum. It also means that if a robbery or vandalism occurs at your business your security system can help establish a time line. Secondly, when each employee has their own individual code it creates a report so that in case of employee theft you can begin to eliminate people based on who triggered their access. Lastly it will record what area of the building was entered. This is useful because it maps out what doors or windows were opened so you can pinpoint the areas that were breached.

Just having these few safeguards can save your company lost time, keep your payroll costs accurate, and discourage employee theft. For help setting up your small business security system give Affordable Telephone a call today!

Give Your Server the Room it Needs

Companies that run on a network or that need a lot of computing resources often have one or more workhorse computer(s) known as a server. The servers house the main programs and share the resources between multiple users using a cabling system. Having a server room will help protect this huge asset to your business.

Servers generate a lot of heat and need cooling devices to prevent system malfunctions or thermal shut down. When you have a server room you can protect the servers with climate control. If these servers are the cornerstone of your business then you also need to consider outside threats like earthquakes, fires, and theft.

Examples of the types of protection available would be ceramic paneling to block heat from the outside, fire suppression systems that use gas to extinguish flames, and locking server cabinets that will protect the servers in the event of an earthquake. But the best way to protect your server room is to design the room with the help of cabling professionals who will assess the room and recommend what type of cabling would work best for your business.  They know the benefits of fiber optic cabling, the disadvantages of copper wiring, and speed capabilities of structured data cabling. Working with them to design and install the cabling system for your server room lays the perfect foundation for any business’ computer infrastructure.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed

VoIP phone systems offer businesses a way to connect with their customers like phone systems never have before. Not only are they more cost effective for business owners but the VoIP phone service includes features that help customer satisfaction ratings go through the roof.

One of the features is where the system calls multiple lines until it finds an employee who answers. This enables the business to gain customer satisfaction through personal interaction. Plus customers respond well to having their calls answered in just a few rings and when they have very little of their time spent transferring them from department to department.

In a different scenario the phone has another great feature. During a very important staff meeting where no one can answer the phone, there is a VoIP feature called voicemail to email that will transcribe the voicemail and email it to the employee. This helps eliminate lost post it notes and hastily-scribbled-barely-legible phone numbers. The email is automatically generated and waiting in the inbox for when the employee returns.

Another great thing about VoIP is the sound quality. VoIP far surpasses the sound quality of a traditional phone line. There is less interference and greater clarity which helps your company sound more professional.

Not sure what VoIP phone system is right for your office? Contact the professionals at Affordable Telephone. They will come out and talk to you about what it is you want from your business phone system and make a recommendation based on your needs.
