Cut Costs with E-TEL

With the recent downturn in the economy, most of our clients are looking to strengthen their financial outlook by cutting costs and boosting productivity, and we're here to help.  Due to recent changes in the telecommunications industry, there's never been a better time to re-evaluate your current plans.  Telephone and internet service costs have been steadily falling, and if you haven't explored your options lately, you're probably paying too much.

Don't know where to start?  That's where we come in.  At no charge to you, we'll take a look at your phone bill and current equipment, and along with our partners in network services, we'll determine what's available to you.  In most cases, we can reduce your bills and at the same time, upgrade any aging technology in your offices to newer, lower maintenance systems that will reduce your expenses even farther.

Here's an example: one of our clients, a property management company, brought us in for an evaluation of their current telecommunications plan.  With a recent copy of their phone bill and a physical inventory of their equipment, we were able to replace their fifteen year old telephone system and find them a new voice and data services contract at over 50% less than they were currently paying.  Between the new service and the upgraded equipment, their monthly telecom expenditures dropped from $2,400 to $1,300.  That's a total savings of 46%!  Additionally, they gained new features including voicemail and fax to email integration, a new, more productive work-from-home plan, and free conference calling.

We'd like to help you do the same.  With a free evaluation from E-TEL Systems, you'll get a comprehensive plan to lower your expenses, improve productivity, and bring your office into the new millennium.

Going Green? We Can Help!

Environmental concerns have been dominating the news lately, and more and more businesses are looking to reduce their environmental impact this year. If this is a concern for you, here are three ways E-TEL can help.

• Reduce travel with a telecommuter program. One of the most significant ways to improve your environmental stewardship is to help your employees drive less.  They'll use less fuel and put less harmful vehicle emissions into the environment.  Avaya's latest technology makes work-from-home programs a cost efficient option for businesses of any size.  Your employees will appear to be in the office, no matter where they are.  And with the variety of monitoring options available, you won't have to worry about what they're doing - you'll be able to check in and see what's getting done.
• Go paperless. Reduced paper usage in your office will help preserve our forests and use less landfill space.  If you've decided to cut paper in your office, our phone systems will seamlessly integrate with any major database software.  Additionally, with our fax-to-email solutions, we can virtually eliminate your paper faxes for less than a thousand dollars.
• Cut energy usage. All Avaya systems are designed to be energy efficient, but did you know you can set yours up to be even more so?  With Voice over IP and a smart switching solution, your system can automatically cut power to phones when they're not in use.  This can provide a 50-75% energy savings on your telephone system.

With extensive experience in helping organizations like yours go green, we're ready to help. For more information, contact your Account Executive, visit the "Contact Us" page, or give E-TEL a call.
