SWITCHING TO VOIP
VoIP is about using your data
network to make phone calls.
There are three main advantages
that VoIP phone systems will
bring to a small to mid-sized
business (SMB):
1. Lower Costs
2. Unified Communications (UC)
3. Productivity
LOWER COSTS
All businesses have an Internet
connection and those that haven’t
converted to VoIP also pay for phone
lines separately.
With a VoIP system, businesses can eliminate the traditional phone line and condense onto one network.
LOWER COSTS
VoIP services typically offer unlimited
local minutes and inexpensive long
distance rates.
LOWER COSTS
The reduced costs of VoIP
communications save money especially
if long distance calls are the norm.
A huge benefit also exists for businesses with multiple locations since the long distance charges for calling between locations are eliminated.
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
Unified Communications is, according to UCStrategies,
“communications strategies integrated to optimize
business processes.”
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
The ability to integrate your VoIP phone service
with other communication tools such as instant
messaging, email, fax, conferencing, and other
business applications including your CRM.
UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
For example, with unified communications you can
have voicemail messages emailed to you directly.
Gone are the days of repeatedly calling into the
office to see if messages are waiting.
PRODUCTIVITY
A VoIP phone system can be used on your
mobile phones and other “smart”
technologies.
As long as you have an Internet connection, you can use your VoIP application or service wherever. This is a huge benefit to business travelers and employees who are assigned to the field.
With the accessibility and flexibility that VoIP
offers, these road warriors can get in touch with
customers faster and easier.
PRODUCTIVITY
As a result, there are more opportunities to make connections and create sales. VoIP will help you respond promptly to business partners, customers, and employees, thereby avoiding any communication delays.
Most VoIP solutions include caller ID, voicemail,
call waiting, three-way calling, call forwarding,
find me/follow me and many more (see Unified
Communications).
PRODUCTIVITY
TELECOM PRIME FOR IMPROVEMENT
Cost reduction and improved productivity:
– Costs associated with VoIP keep getting lower while the service is
continuously improving.
– There are dozens of VoIP providers to choose from.
– VOIP offer SMBs lower telecom costs, more productivity, and a chance
to take customer service to the next level.
Most SMBs don’t have telecom-dedicated IT resources. That’s why the proper partner will also deliver and deploy your solutions, train users, and provide ongoing service and support.
KEYS TO SUCCESS
Identify a channel partner who can provide the guidance, support, and consultation for proper
evaluation, implementation and integration. A partner who:
– is solution-agnostic with no bias toward one vendor or another.
– can properly determine your requirements and design your system based on
business objective.
– will understand the vendor landscape and can help you select the appropriate
technologies, putting into place suitable contracts at the best prices.
