- 2. MAJOR BENEFITS THAT VOIP COULD BRING TO YOUR BUSINESS Lower Cost Call tariffs are significantly lower with free calls between sites including home workers and mobile employees. Because your system is fully hosted off site, then you do not require any costly hardware. Flexibility VOIP makes easy some things that are difficult to impossible with traditional phone networks. Incoming phone calls are automatically routed to your VOIP phone where ever you plug it into the network. Take your VOIP phone with you on a trip, and anywhere you connect it to the Internet, you can receive your incoming calls. Scalability It is easy to add users as your business grows. These can be added within hours and you are not usually dependent upon anyone having to provide a new telephone line or extension wiring. Business Continuity You can create a disaster recovery plan by smart call routing. This ensures that you are always available, even in the time of flood, snow or other disaster. Work On The Move VOIP allows you to connect to any of your employees, on any device, in any place at any time Frequently asked questions Is hosted VOIP reliable? Yes. Calls are routed over the internet and not dependent upon hardware on your premises. Your host will have co-location giving you more resilience than a traditional solution. What equipment do I need? VOIP phones and a connection to the outside world, which is normally a router and a switch. How do I make changes to my system? The administration of the system can be done through a web portal. This can be done by a manager or your installer. Can I record calls? Yes. This may be an optional extra but all leading VOIP platforms provide the feature. Does VOIP reduce my carbon footprint? It can do. Conferencing and collaboration are much easier meaning less travel. The ability to work from home also reduces travel. Can I have different settings per user? Yes. The administrator can apply different settings to each user for features such as voicemail, recording, hunt groups etc. Can I keep my numbers? Yes. Your current numbers can usually be ported onto a VOIP network. What happens if I move premises? You simply move the system with you. VOIP is entirely portable and you would suffer virtually no downtime during any relocation, since your VOIP phones are plug and play, providing that you have an internet connection. There are no contractual limitations. How much does it cost? One of the major benefits of VOIP is the relative affordability. You are not reliant upon a separate cabling infrastructure. You do not need expensive maintenance contracts. You only need to buy the phones to plug into your data cabling network.
