The Convenience of VoIP Phone Systems
Voice over Internet Protocol, often referred to as VoIP, originated in 1973 as an experimental protocol designed for use across ARPANET. Later, the same technology was leveraged by Vocaltec in 1995 for the first Internet Phone Software. As Internet speeds increased over the years and Ethernet technologies became more prevalent, VoIP hit the mass market in 2004. Fast forward to the current business landscape, where cloud-based technologies are providing businesses the opportunities to leverage VoIP for business phone systems in the most beneficial ways. Let’s dig deeper into the modern conveniences these systems allow, and how they can be leveraged effectively.
No Boundaries Between Devices
When 70% of the workforce doesn’t sit behind a desk, but instead relies on mobile devices and virtual offices to do their jobs, it’s important that they be able to communicate and coordinate information across devices and geographic distances. VoIP phone systems allow users to access their phone and associated functions like voicemail through application interfaces on laptops, cell phones, tablets, and desktops. For those who travel as part of their job, being able to access an important voicemail, send a fax, or host a conference between stakeholders can all be the difference between landing the large sale and losing the client altogether.
No Interruptions in Service
Never be “out of pocket” when using a VoIP phone system. Stepping out of the office for lunch, but you’re waiting for an important call? Switch on your VoIP software and you can receive calls on your main business line from anywhere there’s an available Internet connection.
Fitting In With the Locals
Search engine statistics reveal a growing trend in mobile device users searching for local businesses and service providers with the search terms “near me.” From this, it’s clear that customers want the comfort of knowing they’re dealing with someone who understands the local market and can address their specific concerns or needs. VoIP phone systems allow you to set your business phone numbers to originate from any area code. For national organizations, this allows them to serve multiple communities with the added bonus of being a free local call.
The Service That Grows With You
You need a phone system that can easily scale with growth in your organization, but doesn’t include tons of unnecessary bandwidth at set service tiers. With a VoIP phone system, you can easily add and remove users across your account, and the process requires little to no installation and has the residual benefit of saving you money in the long run by only charging you for lines in use.
