A reliable phone system with up-to-date features can be the change that helps your business flourish. Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, systems allow you to make phone calls over your internet connection instead of standard analog phone lines. This service offers better functionality, lower costs, and other helpful business benefits.
How could your business profit from a VoIP system?
Cost Saving
Money can be a significant factor in considering a phone system. A VoIP system has a quick and easy install time with minimal maintenance, which can reduce the amount of downtime you experience. After all, time is money. Phone calls on a VoIP system are also considerably less expensive than conventional phone systems. In most cases, your business’ phone bill could be cut by more than half when switching to a VoIP system.
VoIP systems utilize standard Ethernet network cables and secure managing software to make the installation process seamless. Making the change to a new phone system has never been easier, with fewer hardware parts, and no excessive amount of software or wires to install. However, the installation may be very time consuming for office staff to implement properly. To reduce the amount of down time from the on premise or cloud-hosted system configuration, consider having VoIP service vendor install it for you. With the cloud-hosted option, there is no downtime for patching or updates that could interrupt your business. The on-premise option may require updates, but a VoIP expert can manage these and minimize interruptions to your business.
Flexibility
VoIP systems are one of the most versatile types of phone systems around, especially when utilizing the Cloud-hosted option. It also features phone integrated software programs. Email can be integrated to give you things like voicemail-to-email and virtual faxing. The Instant Messaging feature can keep your employees constantly connected. It can even offer the ability to call from your smart phone, allowing it to operate as your office phone anytime or anywhere. This sort of freedom can help productivity and enable your business to continue to operate when away from the office.
Scalability
Traditional phone systems require careful planning when it comes to expanding and adding lines, users, and phones since they are difficult and costly to modify. You must estimate how many phones and lines you will need in the future to budget and schedule downtime for the changes. As your company grows, the VoIP phone system will grow with you.
