Telephone Systems

While email and chat have become a significant presence in our daily communications it is the good old-fashioned telephone that still represents 50% of business communications. However, with the proliferation of new and cutting-edge technology, phone systems today are anything but old-fashioned.

VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is rapidly becoming the standard in voice communications for businesses today and into the future. Datotech is a provider of the two types of VoIP solutions.
1)On-Premise which requires a server and a dedicated voice trunk line.
2)Hosted which does not require an onsite server and a dedicated voice line but it does require a subscription to a hosted phone provider. Both options have advantages however both have many more features than the old traditional phone systems of the past. Contact Datotech today at 678-881-1410 to discuss what these are, and we can help you find the right solution that fits your business and your budget.

Systems & Data Security Analysis

DATO Technologies, Inc. is proud to provide you with analysis of security & data systems. We can verify protection from viruses, data loss, data corruption and even new emerging threats such as adware and malware.
