NTC 360 August 9, 2005 Introduction There are many different options companies have when decided on what type if telephone service to use. The size and needs of the company will usually determine the communications needed to run an organized operation. Another factor in choosing what type of telecommunications a company will need is what type of business does the company deal with. For example, is the company a telemarketing service, a customer service company for bank, or a consulting firm; plus, what are the majority of calls pertaining to and the time frame of each call? Are the telephone calls from customers needing to know where the nearest bank or ATM is or are they important clients wanting an estimate on a construction project that is underway. These are a few of the important items to look over before choosing the telecommunication that are right for you company. I work at a company called VTN Nevada.
It is an engineering, survey, architecture, planning, and construction management consulting firm. We do consulting work for many large companies in Las Vegas Valley. We do a lot of communicating with clients, construction project manager, and the entities, such as, City of Las Vegas, City of Henderson, City of North Las Vegas, Clark County, and Nye County. The need for good communication is mandatory in order to get the project done to the clients desires, as well as, meeting the needs of the entities that the projects are located within.
VTN Nevada uses many different forms of communications from conference calls to e-mails, but nothing is better than a face to face meeting in order to straight out major issues. Body The system that is currently in place at VTN Nevada is the PBX, otherwise known as Private Branch eXchange. The PBX allows VTN to create extensions to connect to each other, as well as, to the public network. The system is set up to allow a person to dial the main office line and get the first receptionist, Rita.
The Term Paper on History of Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas, translated from Spanish as “the meadows” was discovered and thus established in 1829 by the Mexican merchant Antonio Armijo, who led a trade caravan of 60 men creating a trade route to Los Angeles.

Rita, will then direct the caller to the person that they are trying to reach. If the caller wants to contact one of the directors of the company, they will be transferred to the director secretary, Marti. Then, Marti will transfer the caller to the intended recipient of the call, take a message, or transfer the caller to the intended’s voice mail. Rita will at the main number has the same options as Marti. Depending on if the employee is present and can except the call or if the intended is on the phone already Rita will give the caller the option to hold on the line, be transferred to voicemail or eave a message with her and she will pass the message on to the intended. Every employee at VTN Nevada has a direct line that is the same as their extension; however, with the direct line caller needs to dial all seven digits in order to get to the intended’s personal phone at their desk.
If the caller is dialing within the network, from a network telephone then the caller only needs to dial the four digit extension in order to get the direct line. Each employee is given an extension and every extension has the same prefix to great a full seven digit telephone number for public telephone access. Each phone also comes with caller ID. This gives the recipient of the call the name of the person calling and the extension they are calling from.
The Term Paper on The Law of Line Extension
The Law of Line Extension has been created with the belief that a company should not overextend themselves to the point that they want to encompass an entire market of many different products at the cost of losing their market share.

If someone is calling from a public line outside the network the phone still displays the telephone number of the person calling, but does not give the recipient the caller’s name. Conclusion The verity of telecommunications is vast, but each company has their own needs. They can choose a type of communication that is best for them by researching their needs and desires of the company as it presently stands and where it intends to be in the future. VTN Nevada is growing and looking to improve on the PBX telecommunication system they presently have implemented.
For now it is working great for the clients, entities and employees, but who knows what the future might bring. Reference web retrieved August 7, 2005.
