ITA Business Solutions - VOIP Telephone Systems

One of the advantages with how ITA goes to market is that we don't profit from hardware or software sales. That way our clients can trust our recommendations 100%. If we recommend a solution, you can rest assured that it's the best solution available for the price, as we're not trying to peddle any specific product to make money.

In that spirit, we now offer Voice Over IP (VOIP) Telephone Systems to our clients which can often save thousands of dollars in equipment costs and ongoing telephony services. In order to recommend the most cost effective solutions, we generally recommend the Asterisk Open Source VOIP platform. Offering flexibility unheard of in the world of proprietary communications, Asterisk empowers developers and integrators to create advanced communication solutions...for free.

Voice Over IP telephone systems, and Asterisk in particular, allow us to configure a telephone system for your business with unparalleled flexibility and power. Here are just a few of the benefits of a VOIP system from ITA:

Cost- Here is a great real-world story to illustrate what you can save- a local company contacted ITA and 2 other local VOIP providers for pricing for a VOIP telephone system. Competitor #1 quoted $50k. Competitor #2 quoted $30k. Our quote: $4087 for the exact same functionality. In addition, we were able to reduce the client's monthly telephony expenses by 2/3. This is dramatically less than any commercial VOIP or analog telephone solution.
Flexibility- You can use any SIP compliant VOIP telephone with an Asterisk system. We generally recommend the Linksys line of phones, as they offer the most functionality for the cost. The telephones themselves cost roughly $120 each.
Service - With a VOIP System, you can continue to use your traditional analog "POTS" telephone lines, or a channelized T1, or a PRI for your telephone service if you prefer. In that configuration, your VOIP system will rely on those circuits rather than your Internet connection for service, so it will operate in the same manner as any traditional telephone system. However, with a VOIP system, you also have the ability to discontinue those services, and switch to a "SIP Provider" which is like a telephone company on the Internet- providing your dial tone not over old circuits, but over your Internet connection. We can configure this in a very relaible manner and substantially reduce your monthly telephony expenses. SIP providers can transfer your telephone numbers from your existing provider, so you don't have to change a thing. Additionally, we can configure a combination of SIP providers with unlimited incoming and outgoing calls, free long distance, and even additional telephone numbers in any location in the country for only an additional $1 per month. Let our experience and expertise save your business money!
Functionality - With a VOIP system from ITA, you can do incredible things. If you travel, you can take your phone with you- and plug it in anywhere in the world where you have Internet access. You can have telephones at your home office and work office and have them ring simultaneously- and transfer calls as if you were in the next room. You can even connect to your telephone system from your laptop using a free 'soft phone' and a USB headset- anywhere in the world! You can even ring your mobile phone at the same time as your office phone, or have it automatically transfer to your mobile if you're not in the office, or give the caller the option. We can configure voicemail, advanced directories to guide callers, and more!
Infrastructure - A VOIP system utilizes your network cabling, not your old telephone lines, so you no longer have to support your old telephone infrastructure.
Support - In line with our philosophy of long term relationships with our clients, we will be there to support your VOIP telephone system and your IT infrastructure as long as you own it. Our support agreements give you the hours you need to maintain everything in an extremely cost effective manner.
