Why Businesses Should Have VoIP

Through the year of 2020, millions of people experienced what it was like to work away from the office. Posing new challenges, the Covid-19 restrictions also forced thousands of businesses to shut down indefinitely. With VOIP telecommunications, a large number of businesses could could have an easier time managing their work. Here’s why:

VoIP is like a pot of gold for remote workers. It’s more than a phone. VoIP consists of file sharing, chat features, video conferencing, archiving, virtual faxing and more. It’s ideal for those working remotely because VoIP is solely reliant on the internet. The benefits of VoIP are unparalleled compared to traditional telecommunications.
 
Other advantage include:

• Scalability: It’s easy to add new VoIP lines for each new employee, and equally easy to remove them when necessary​.
• VoIP supports legacy technologies in a modern way: Allowing employees to utilize old ways of communication virtually.
• VoIP integrates with other business systems: Make voice calls and handle voicemail all from within your mail client.

 
What exactly is “VOIP”? Vo stands for Voice Over, while IP stands for the IP address, which computers and other devices use to communicate with one another through the internet. First developed in 1995, VoIP was used as an inexpensive way to make long distance phone calls. Now it’s used for an array of things, including saving money.

Voice over IP allows businesses to get rid of expensive telecommunication hardware. Companies can significantly reduce the overhead associated with telephone solutions by switching to voice over IP. It has the potential to save large organizations millions of dollars every year.

Thanks to the luxury of available media with a voice over IP session, companies can also cut back on expensive travelling costs. Employees can work from home, or anywhere, with the internet. Voice over IP can virtually place people in any room.

Ultimately, VoIP enables businesses to reroute their voice communications over the same media used by the company network. VoIP services aren’t only a viable alternative to traditional communication like Private Branch Exchange (PBX), but also a well rounded complete telecoms solution. 

With the growing availability of broadband connectivity, voice over IP is gaining further favor with organizations who see the importance of technological convergence. Voice, video, and live sharing of content can all be found with VoIP. A revolutionizing way to communicate from anywhere in the world.
