Conditions are now perfect to switch to Cisco phone systems

For a long time, most business owners have known that Cisco is the best when it comes to switching equipment and phone systems. The cost made this “Rolls Royce” solution out of reach for most small and medium-sized businesses.

The good news is that this has now changed.

About 5 years ago, Cisco introduced the Smart Business Communications solution using the UC520 for small and medium businesses. This solution had all the benefits of a high-end Cisco solution at a competitive price.

The UC520 was still out of reach for most small businesses with 4-16 end users. This was in part because customers already had an existing data network and only had basic phone system requirements.

Cisco has now introduced the UC320. The main change is that this solution is aimed at a single site customer. This has allowed Cisco to significantly reduce the price of the system while retaining all of the inherent benefits of a Cisco solution. This has made the UC320 an extremely good value and cheaper than most of its competitors, while retaining all the features a small business might use.

Target customer profile

The sweet spot for the UC320 is between 4 and 16 users. The solution is perfect for any business that;

Requires a basic phone system – Key System or PBX, or
Replacement of Greenfield or Key System

Most businesses would benefit from voicemail, hunt group, or auto attendant. Previously this was out of reach for all other brands due to cost. These features are standard on the UC320. This solution stands apart from almost all of its competitors when it comes to data integration (wired and wireless). The UC320 is a unified communications system that brings together voice, data, and wireless communications. The key purchasing decision factor for small businesses is price and service.
