subject: Refurbished Telephone Systems Do More With Less [print this page] Why spend on expensive new phone systems when refurbished telephone systems can give you all the functionality and benefits of a new phone at a fraction of the cost of a new one? This simple question has made telephone system manufacturers and retailers rethink their approach to enterprise wide telephone systems.
Benefits of Refurbished Telephone Systems
Like everything else in a world changed by ICT, information is the key to survival. Businesses need information in real-time to survive, and establishing a communication infrastructure and network is the only answer to the vagaries of information availability.
Let us look at some of the benefits offered by refurbished phones:
Cost savings: Refurbished phones offer 80%-90% of the features found in new phones at just a fraction of the cost. This makes them an economical option to consider, even in the long run.
Usage History: Refurbished phones are pre-owned phones; which means that any issues with the functions of the phone or to do with integrating the phone into existing communication systems within the organization would have been explored by the previous owner(s) and such information would be available to the next user. This access to usage information helps deal with any problems that might arise.
Tried, Tested and Guaranteed: Refurbished phone providers have to be extra careful about the quality of their offerings. They usually test what they sell extensively.
Extended Lifetime: By maximizing the value you can get from technology, you are actually causing a paradigm shift towards more efficient usage of existing technology instead of costlier upgrades to the latest offerings out in the market. Most manufacturers adopt a policy of continually adding new features to base models, depending on what the market buzz might be about at the time of the launch. Older phones retain all the basic functions without adding the cost of the latest market trend.
Cheaper Maintenance: Refurbished phones are actually very cheap. In most cases, you can get a fully working refurbished phone for the price of just the spare parts or replacement parts for a top-of-the-line phone.
Environmental Benefits: e-Waste is fast becoming a problem of global proportions. By using refurbished ICT equipment, such as phones and computers, you are actually reducing the impact of discarded goods on the environment. After all, a second life of five years is better than twenty years in a landfill as discarded equipment.
