What is an automated attendant Phone Sysytem?

An automated attendant, or auto attendant phone system for small business, uses call transferring to help callers navigate to an extension when calling a main number without an operator or receptionist.

The process is relatively easy for all callers. Once the call is answered by the auto attendant, the caller is given menu options and the choice of reaching various individuals or departments (i.e., Mr. Jones, Sales, Customer Service). The provisioning is performed in the back-end by your provider and transfers the calls to their correct department.

The menu options are determined by the provisions you set based on the common needs of your customers. For ease, in many cases, there will also be a 0 out option allowing the caller to be transferred to a person for additional assistance.

Why use an automated attendant?

Auto-attendants help your customers reach who they need to with as little transferring as possible. This avoids unnecessary hold time, confusion and employee interruptions.

In order to do this, there are questions to address such as: who will answer the calls once they ring to a particular person or organization? If no one answers that call, where will the call ring next? Is the call allowed to go to voicemail? And do you want a 0 out option?
