Why Buy a Convertec Phone System?  

Serious Cost Reduction:

A Convertec business phone system based on Asterisk can typically be installed for about half the cost of a traditional system. For large scale systems the savings can be even greater.  As an example, prices start under $2000.00 for a fully installed IP phone system complete with IP phones and 12 months support.  Adding additional handsets can be done for as little as $100 with no per handset license fees or mandatory maintenance contracts Additionally, your support agreement includes periodic updates to your system. Because Asterisk is switched in software versus hardware you are not locked into purchasing expensive and proprietary hardware to get the latest and greatest features.

Control:

Convertec business phone systems allow businesses to take control of their phone calls.  Once a call is received by the system, virtually anything can be done. Asterisk provides a level of granular control normally only associated with the most expensive of systems. As an example, lets say you have one office and do business in multiple areas of the country. Convertec can provide you local numbers to each of those areas and then ensure that the caller ID local to the area you are calling is presented to the people you call. Zip code based call routing and distributed ring groups or support queues are other examples of requests that can be fulfilled with a Convertec phone system right out of the box  

No Lock-In to Proprietary Systems:

Obtain support, accessories and upgrades from a variety of sources.  Their are many third party applications which can further extend the functionality of our Asterisk based systems and a surprising number of them are absolutely free. Telephone handsets are standards based (SIP) and can be re-used on other SIP based phone systems.

VoIP:

Convertec business telephone systems are built to handle VoIP calls. Significant savings can be had by using our system to send all inter-office calls across the internet as well as reducing external call costs by using Mobile Telephone Gateways and accessing flat rate national call costs. It is not uncommon for the savings in call costs to pay for the acquisition of a Convertec business telephone system.
