The minimum requirement for any small business to be able to compete on a level playing field in its industry, whether in Miami FL or elsewhere in the United States, would be to have a professional office and business telephone system with the corresponding telephone equipment. The chosen office and business telephone system and telephone equipment is expected to include new technologies like voicemail, video conferencing and VoIP applications. To be able to source, install and maintain these, a company has to find a reputable supplier and service provider of high quality office and business telephone systems and telephone equipment, including telephone cables, telephone wiring and network wiring. The best brands and systems would be Panasonic and NEC telephone systems or PBX. If the small business is based in Miami FL it would be advantageous if the supplier and service provider also has a local office.
