Streamline your business and supercharge the way you work. Cisco® SMB Class IP Communications integrates voice and data infrastructures on a single network to enable small and medium-sized businesses to enhance productivity, simplify systems management, and reduce business operating costs

Following are just some of the results you can achieve for your company using Cisco SMB Class IP Communications solutions:

• Work transparently. You or your employees can work at home, and still harness the full power of your business phone and network. When a customer calls at your home workspace, it is just like being at your office.
• Go remote. On the road, you can use a third-party "softphone" to securely tap all your office assets, accessing e-mails and phone calls in real time, right on your laptop.
• Power up your phones. With a single Cisco Systems® network for voice and data, you will save on time and equipment because you can access voice mail, e-mail, and even inventory and sales reports from your desktop phone.
• Streamline operations. By simplifying your operations with Cisco IP Communications, you will get the freedom and flexibility to spend more time with your customers, and still manage your growing business.
• Leave room to grow. You can choose the IP phone that works best for your needs. Whether it is simply making calls or having immediate access to critical business data, your Cisco solution will grow with your business.
• Help ensure smooth moves. Unlike a private branch exchange (PBX) or dedicated phone system, every IP phone is portable. So moves, additions,and changes do not require added time and expense or costly rewiring and reprogramming. Just plug it into your port and the phone is ready to use.

Boosting productivity, connectivity, and profitability—all at the same time
In today’s rapidly changing business world, organizations are faced with increased competition, profit margin pressure, and evolving business models. Although traditional areas of concern, such as productivity and customer satisfaction, are more important than ever, newer challenges such as the expansion of the virtual workforce, growth of communications traffic, and the heightened need for business agility must be factored in as well.

To meet these challenges, organizations are looking at technology solutions that can help give them an edge over the competition. One of the most effective ways companies can meet these challenges is by migrating to an IP Communications solution that combines voice and data infrastructures on a single, converged IP network.
