Top 5 reasons to switch to VoIP
5 Reasons Why VoIP is a no-brainer for the modern, digital workplace
If you’ve not yet switched to a VoIP telephone system, then you’re definitely missing out! Every business needs to make and receive phone calls. They can either buy an expensive on-premise PBX system that has limited functionality or use a scalable software system that costs less and is much more efficient, i.e. VoIP. If you’re just setting up an office then it’s a no-brainer in our opinion, and even if you already have a legacy PBX system in place then switching over will bring multiple benefits to your workplace in both cost and efficiency.
LET’S EXAMINE THIS IN A BIT MORE DETAIL. HERE ARE OUR TOP 5 BENEFITS OF A VOIP SYSTEM.
Cost: VoIP is much more cost effective than traditional landline and mobile providers because it uses the Internet to efficiently transport data – your call – to the recipient.
No installation of hardware: As VoIP is cloud-based it makes the installation of traditional hardware redundant. Getting started is quick, easy and cost effective.
Better functionality: VoIP forms the basis of internet telephony and unified communications, which enables a plethora of additional features that enhance worker productivity. These include video calling, collaboration and instant messaging.
Flexible working: VoIP does not have the restrictions of traditional phone systems that tie workers to the office. Employees can stay connected to the corporate phone system while working remotely, as the system can be accessed from anywhere at any time. This means businesses can also save money on utilities and office space when required. Most systems will have a mobile app so even when workers are travelling or not at their PC they can still stay connected.
Scalability: Adding new users to a VoIP system can be done at a click of a button, which means the technology seamlessly scales with the business, removing infrastructure concerns when employment volumes spike or new premises are required.
We love the fact that we can help businesses work smarter with better technology. Whilst some business owners hesitate due to mis-placed concerns over cost and transition, there are many more taking the plunge and enjoying the new freedoms and flexibility that a state of the art communications system can bring, especially in today’s fast-changing working world.
