ABOUT

Supporting Small and Medium-Sized Businesses Since 2013

Louisa Voice is a full-service business telephone system solutions provider for small and medium businesses and nonprofits. We design and install next generation business phone systems that improve productivity and reduce costs – usually by 30-50 percent. Our office telephone systems are tailored for each client’s specific needs.

We are a family-owned and operated business founded in 2013. When you call Louisa Voice you speak with our founder and managing partner, Peter Krautle. We pride ourselves on our worry-free service, with installation of reliable equipment and rapid remote response to any issues that arise.

In addition to our core business phone systems design, installation and service, we also provide related IT consulting services, such as disaster recovery, continuity plans and backup strategies. In the age of COVID, with more employees working remotely and businesses and nonprofits adapting to a changing operating environment, IT infrastructure solutions such as open source firewall configuration have taken on greater importance. Our IT expertise makes us an ideal partner for these changing times.

About Our Founder

Peter Krautle is our founder and Managing Partner and is integrally involved in our day-to-day operation and hands on with our customers. When you call Louisa Voice, you speak with Peter.

As managing partner, Peter is passionate about helping small businesses and nonprofits save money and improve their workplace efficiency through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) systems. He believes the next generation of small business cloud-based phone systems is not cost-effective for all businesses, particularly as they grow and require five or more hosted phones. Premise-based VoIP solutions can deliver dramatic cost savings to small and medium businesses and nonprofits.

Prior to starting Louisa Voice, Peter served as Advanced Solutions Architect and Business Professional Services at IT company Avaya and before that in various management positions at telecommunications company Nortel. It was during his 30 years at Nortel and Avaya that Peter honed his expertise in VoIP and SIP, assisting both businesses and nonprofits with their telecommunications needs through IT, product development, solutions architecture and voice professional services.

In 2013 Peter decided to take this expertise and focus full time on helping small and medium enterprises enjoy the same cost savings and operational efficiencies as larger businesses by providing them with cutting-edge telephone systems tailored for their unique needs at affordable prices. Peter’s highly technical expertise and experience makes him and Louisa Voice your perfect partner for all your office telephone system solutions. We understand the technical side so you don’t have to.

Peter holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and an MBA from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Deeply involved in the community, Peter sits on the board of directors for the Waldwick Chamber of Commerce, is past co-chair of the Technology Committee for the Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce and is the district committee chair for the Rotary Means Business Initiative. Peter also is an active member of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and a volunteer for the Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative. He presides on the board of deacons at Westside Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood. In June of 2021, Peter received the Arline Simpson Leadership Award from Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce for his leadership and active participation within the chamber.

When not working on the business, you can often find Peter outside running near his home in Waldwick, New Jersey. He also cycles and hikes the many trails along the lower Hudson River. Every few years, Peter unwinds completely by doing an extended multi-day bicycle trip.
