Making the Switch to a VOIP phone system
When companies are just getting started they need a reliable phone service and a solid internet connection. With technology constantly changing it can be difficult for business owners to keep up and understand it all. Traditional phone systems can be extremely expensive and hard to scale. While VOIP phone systems offer a lot more flexibility. Here are our top three advantages of going with a VOIP phone system.
Lower Cost
Saving your business money is one of most attractive aspects of a VOIP phone system. VOIP phone systems generally offer savings over large-scale systems. Traditional phone systems have a significant up front investment as well as ongoing expenses of managing and maintaining the system. Since VOIP phone systems are cloud based, the cost of maintenance and management is eliminated. So you don’t have to pay large hourly rates to have a tech onsite for any minor changes or a move. You can either make simple changes to your system through a web interface or just have your provider do it remotely! Also, domestic calling is generally free and international calls are normally quite a bit cheaper as well.
Mobility and Flexibility
Using VOIP technology businesses can leverage on the go functionality such as using business lines over a cell phone app, fax to email, video conferencing, screen sharing, voicemail to email, and the list goes on. Using a laptop, smart phone, or tablet VOIP phone system users can use their technology anywhere that offers a solid internet connection. With today’s fast paced, on-to-go culture this is extremely important when employees are at meetings or traveling. This technology also allows employees to use their own VOIP number wherever they are, making and receiving calls from their business line anywhere. This gives outside users the appearance they are calling from their office. So they don’t have to use their personal cell phone number while traveling. This provides a ton of additional convenience and flexibility over older technologies.
Ease of use
From installation to everyday use to troubleshooting, VOIP does not require the technical knowledge needed with old school phone systems. There is no longer a need for additional cabling, which cuts costs as well as general clutter in the office. All you need are the VOIP phones, or the app, and a solid internet connection! Also, it’s not always easy to plan ahead and know how many lines your business will need over time. As your business grows and changes the VOIP infrastructure makes it easy to add additional lines. You can easily add or remove a line as your staff count changes. A VOIP phone system can easily be altered and maintained since the software is hosted in the cloud with a simple user interface.
