Business Phone Systems Don't Need to be Complex

Managing business phone lines should not be hard. We have grown accustomed to complex setups and phone systems that require IT involvement, but the days of the telephone closet and hard-to-configure business phone systems is behind us.

Case in point is business VoIP provider Nextiva’s NextOS 3.0 Beta portal, an easy-to-use business VoIP management portal that simplifies VoIP setup and even goes beyond the seeming simplicity of other VoIP administrative solutions.

Multi-step setup is for engineers. Real business users benefit far more from administration that can be setup in minutes and from a single-pane administrative interface. That’s what the NextOS 3.0 Beta portal focuses upon. Many functions have been streamlined from multi-step in NextOS 3.0, and a sometimes hour-long setup process now can be completed in a few clicks, according to Nextiva.

Businesses can set up a wide range of calling features from the administrative portal. Specifically, businesses can set up anonymous rejection, call forwarding, call me now, calling line ID blocking override, calling name retrieval, custom ringback user, and privacy settings.

The administrative interface of NextOS 3.0 also makes it easy to configure remote office settings, sequential ring, shared call appearance, simultaneous ring and voicemail to email?? functionality.

From the dashboard, businesses can quickly set calling schedules, create and manage groups, add or assign devices, and add locations.

Of course, it also is possible to reset PINs, view call history, view invoices and make payments with the system, and it features system, billing and call history in a single-pane format for easy monitoring and review.

Far too many businesses suffer through much more complex setups and administration, and needlessly.

While businesses that still use analogue business phone systems definitely suffer from complex setup and administration, even most businesses that use VoIP are subjecting themselves to overly complex business phone management. Solutions like Nextiva’s NextOS 3.0 show the way of the future, and that business phone administration and setup does not have to be complex.

A pity for those who still don’t know it.
