MADISON, Wis. — “In this period of slow economic growth and reduced spending on basic telecommunications and IT services, many enterprises will find that purchasing managed services is a cost-effective alternative to increasing internal staffing.” This quote appeared in a new study from Insight Research Corp. and was published in the Wall Street Journal recently. It highlights the benefits of VoIP services like TDS managedIP Hosted.
Jennifer Sherman from Flagship Insurance in Winsted, Minn. talks about TDS managedIP Hosted and how it’s helped her business.
Starting today, TDS Telecommunications Corp. (TDS®) is building on the idea that managed services can solve business problems. To encourage businesses to make the switch, TDS is offering customers the opportunity to buy the VVX 500 business media phone for only a penny when they upgrade to managedIP Hosted.
The VVX 500 is loaded with features like its 3.5 inch LCD display. The VVX 500 combined with managedIIP Hosted is a powerful business tool and makes multitasking easy. From now until May 31 you can get the phone your employees want for just a penny.
TDS managedIP Hosted service gives users the ability to click to answer. If the phone rings employees can still reach over and pick it up the old fashioned way. But if employees are crunched for time and need to keep their head buried in their computer they can send the call straight to voicemail with the click of a mouse.
Users can also decide how to take calls. Need to step away from the desk? Users can set their desk phone to ring their cell phone and never miss a call.
Technology and the business world are constantly changing. Gaining an advantage can be tough. Here’s an opportunity to get a leg up while keeping costs down.
