Over the past few years, VoIP has become an extremely popular solution for small businesses. In fact, 30 percent of today’s businesses use some sort of VoIP platform. There are many reasons why businesses are making the switch to VoIP. Today, we’ll explain a few.
VoIP Saves Money
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is the
first real viable alternative to the telephone company’s monopoly over business
telephone systems. By switching to VoIP, you eliminate the relationship you
have with the traditional telephone company and use bandwidth to place and
receive calls. By using a service that your business already relies on, you
save on a lot of costs.
VoIP offers many different ways to gain value. Not only does it eliminate the
large expense a business would see, it also offers businesses a lot of
different options. Businesses that use video and voice conferencing options
afforded them by their VoIP provider pay an average of 30 percent less than
they would without VoIP.
Business can also gain value by using the soft phone feature. VoIP providers have dedicated smartphone apps that work on all Android and iOS-fueled devices. This gives a business the added mobility that they seek, without the huge hardware costs that are associated with buying mobile devices for your staff.
Internationally Superior
If your business does business internationally, communications costs can really be a major problem. Finding a communications system that provides affordable international calling is important. VoIP providers have a competitive model for keeping international communication costs down. With VoIP, you can cut down on your communications spend while retaining the reliability and feature-rich system that you use domestically.
