How RIA business players in New York are roughing it through Hurricane Sandy

It continues to amaze me that today, in 2012, someone has to “man the phones” in an office.
Advisors, vendors, service providers, asset managers, et. al. need to ditch their aging PBX phone system and jump on the virtual phone bandwagon.

Bill,
If one decides to stay in a stricken area for reasons of supporting the community, etc., I can understand.
However I can’t agree more with you on planning for disaster and building a resilient business. And while I do agree with your point on PBXs, I for one am still not impressed with VOIP. Unfortunately I can still tell that I am on the other end of a VOIP conversation about 80% of the time even with large enterprise accounts.
Perhaps when people stop hugging their Exchange servers they will also stop bowing to their NEC PBXs and move into the 21st century:)
