With PiaTel you’ll never have to worry about having a costly upgrade to your communications system. You’ll never have to worry about your system becoming obsolete. You‘ll never have to worry about these because our telephone system is as modular as it is advanced, we are constantly developing and constantly changing to meet the needs of our customers! What does this really mean? It means our system grows as you need it to, when you need it to!
PiaTel has the right solution for ANY business or organisation, from 1 to 99 employees. Whether you have a small office or your people are spread across the country, we’ll keep you in touch without breaking the bank.
Virtual Business Office Package
The Virtual Business Office Package is very robust as it’s based on a modular structure, taking the existing features of our popular individual packages to the next level, Business Services. Whilst each individual PiaTel is a system in it’s own right, and functions perfectly on its own, the PiaTel Virtual Business Office Package will literally connect several individual PiaTel systems together into one group under the control of a PiaTel Master Controller. This is similar to creating virtual private computer networks. This seamless connectivity creates a fully integrated set of services for small- to medium-size businesses, or for organisations from 1 to 99 people. The members of the organisation can be in the same physical office or in any number of different locations anywhere in the UK, or even the world. As your business grows you just keep on adding modules to the network as required. Having low start-up costs make the Virtual Business Office the low-risk choice for your company.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, many of the small- to medium-sized organisations are made up of dynamic individuals in many locations. These individuals work using hot-desk offices, from homes or from offices located across the country. The PiaTel Virtual Business Office allows any business or organisation, whether you’re a one-man Marketer or a 90-man specialist firm, to present a single, professional face when their clients and customers call.
No matter how spread-out the group, the PiaTel Virtual Business Office brings the members of the group together so that callers always know how to reach whomever they need. One number or multiple local numbers can bring callers into the same central switchboard. A group based in London can have ‘offices’ in Manchester, Glasgow or even New York, all at the same time!
And because the office is ‘virtual’, there is no need for additional equipment other than a landline or mobile phone. This eliminates the cost of installation, maintenance and eventual replacement of equipment. Even fax machines can be eliminated as you can send faxes from your own computer! The great benefit of our system is that you only need one line coming in to every location, no matter how many calls are coming in. And because of our enhanced system technology you never lose quality either!

Virtual Business Office structure

1. Switchboard — The Switchboard is the central place into which most calls will come. There is only one Switchboard in any Virtual Business Office Package, regardless of how many members the organisation has. The Switchboard comes with at least one Local Access Number assigned to it, though extra numbers can be added. Callers to the Switchboard number(s) hear a greeting such as “Thank you for calling. You have reached the office of UK Plc,” followed by a list of names and extension numbers.
