Phone.com is where you need your phones ringing!

Pros

  • Provisioning phones throughout an organization
  • Compartmentalization is easy with different incoming call ques, routes and rules
  • Phone.com is available and generally functional from anywhere you have access to an internet connection

Cons

  • Phone.com has been excellent with support and I can not think of any areas for improvement with regards to that
  • Phone.com could provide more graphical assistance when programming call routing. A visual indication of the flow of a call should be presented and would come in handy when planning out difficult ques/call routes

Return on Investment

  • Being a Phone.com partner has enabled us to sell its services at a cost we can control and has given us great incentive
  • Phone.com has improved our ROI because we dont need multiple POTS lines or costly T1 setups
