Telecommunication - Phone System
Overview
PBX or VoIP
Phone System Options
  • Fonality
  • Panasonic
  • TalkSwitch
Overview
Monster IT can install and maintain PBX based, and VoIP phone systems to meet your telecommunication needs.
Whether you have 1 office or 100 offices, MIT’s portfolio of reliable phone systems can meet your needs.
If you are uncertain about the acronyms PBX or VoIP, you are not alone. Here is what they mean:

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange, which is a telephone exchange that serves a particular
business or office. In other words, it is a phone switch.

VoIP stands for Voice over IP. IP is the standard protocol to transmit information over the Internet. Thus VoIP
phone uses the internet to transmit your calls
PBX or VoIP
Recently many clients have approached us about helping them to choose the right phone system, or upgrade
their existing phone system. They often ask whether VoIP phone is right for them, since they are rising
on popularity.

These are the key factors we advise our clients to consider:

Primary usage pattern - One of the largest benefit of VoIP is that rates on out of state or out of country are much
lower. You will save a lot of money if your company makes a lot of out of state or international calls. Therefore,
you should look at your phone bill and see where you call the most.

Multi-Location – To maximize the cost saving of VoIP, both locations must have VoIP. You can potentially save cost
on toll charges, intrastate and interstate call charges typically charged by common carriers if caller and receiver
both have VoIP.

Innovative Functions – VoIP phones have more new functions than traditional PBX, such as email messaging,
soft-phone, virtual extension, web-based user menu etc. All these can be very helpful if you have multiple
office locations, or if your staff telecommutes most of time.

Startup or Upgrade cost – Consider both the equipment and installation cost for your desired system.
Cost for VoIP phone system has decreased over the years, and is very competitive with traditional PBX phones.
However, the price range is still wide. For example, basic VoIP system can cost $2K-$3K, but a high end Cisco
solution can cost $30K-$40K (depends on project size).

Quality – Always choose quality over quantity. There are many vendors/brands of phone systems available
on the market. While some boasts lots of bells and whistles, it means nothing if the system malfunctions
all the time. Sometimes it pays to go with an established brand.

Ease of use – A good technology product should be easy to learn, easy to use. With proper training, you should
be able to handle basic user functions. Commonly used functions (such as call pickup, check voice mails etc.)
should be intuitive and easily accessible.

Maintenance and Support - Finally, maintenance support is just important. You will need help some day, and
choosing the right service provider will make life easier for you. At Monster IT, we are committed to provide
top notch service and support. We have many service options available, and we are very responsive.

    POS Solution - Maintenance & Support Service
    Warranty vs. Maintenance
    Maintenance Support Options
    Warranty vs. Maintenance
    Manufacturer warranty is different from maintenance services offered by Monster IT. Hardware manufacturer
    typically offers depot warranty with their new equipments. It means if your hardware fails, you would have to
    send it into a manufacturer depot service center for repair. Manufacturer typically does not provide loaner
    for you to use during repair period. Hardware warranty duration varies by manufacturer, usually 1 year or longer.
    Software license usually is sold “as is”, or has much shorter warranty covering bug-fix only. They are governed
    by their respective licensing agreement.

    Maintenance service is offered by Monster IT, in addition to manufacturer’s depot warranty. In most cases,
    maintenance service is far superior to depot warranty, and it requires much greater technical competency. Since
    we know your system well, our skilled engineers can identify and resolve problems that manufacturer simply
    cannot do. That means more timely service and less worry for you.
    Maintenance Support Options
    No good POS solution is complete without a comprehensive support service plan. We are your single point of
    contact for all your hardware, software support needs. Best of all, we offer multiple support options.
    You choose what works best for you.

    Remote Support Only
    This is suitable for clients with high level computer experience, or those who are outside the immediate
    service area of MIT. We will provide “on demand” remote support via email, telephone or secured remote
    access during business hours. Client is required to have broadband internet access.

    Hourly Support Plan
    Our hourly support plan gives you access to all of our hardware and software engineers at a very competitive
    rate. Client typically subscribes to a block hours on a monthly basis and pay for actual utilization*.

    Flat Rate Support Plan
    > Our flat rate support plan is the ultimate tool to maintain and protect your technology investment. Our
    experienced engineers will monitor, maintain, support and manage your POS system on your behalf.
    Therefore optimizing system performance and extend its useful lifespan. Client typically prepays an annual
    fee under this plan.

    * Certain restriction applies. Please see contract terms & conditions.
    Note: support plans cover labor charge only, hardware replacement not included.
