For Better Business Telephone Systems Surrey BC Businesses Change To VoIP

By Michael Gibson


The business landscape has changed considerably. Technology has allowed companies, large and small, to compete on a global level. Previously closed markets are now accessible. Competition is at an all time high. Business experts agree that only those companies that remain on the cutting edge of technology can hope to thrive. Consumers have higher expectations and they have many more options than they used to. So, when thinking about better business telephone systems Surrey BC companies need to consider VoIP.

Internet based communication has been available for some years. It did not immediately become popular, however. Technology was expensive in the early days. The system required internet access, something that was still not very pervasive at that time. Also, connections were unreliable and slow. These shortcoming have all disappeared. The internet is available everywhere and connections are fast and reliable. So, today VoIP is enjoying a tremendous rise in popularity.

VoIP providers offer potential new clients significant savings on their communications bills. This is no empty promise. Some clients have reported savings of better than fifty percent on their previous bills. These are just the accountable savings, however. VoIP users quickly find out that the system offer them many productivity enhancing benefits. They are more efficient and they can react to the needs of the clients quickly. This leads to better productivity.

One of the main reasons why VoIP lead to higher productivity levels is because users are not chained to their desks. With an older system, calls can only be taken or made when the user is physically present at his desk. This meant that employees could not move from their desks without losing calls. With VoIP the user can be anywhere. He can take calls anywhere in the world and he never has to miss an important call.

It is not necessary to purchase dedicated handsets when switching to an internet based system. VoIP can be access with a variety of devices. Users can use their smart phones, their tablets or their laptops. Even better, they do not have to use the same device all the time. All user records are synchronized in the cloud and is therefore accessible as soon as the user logs in, regardless of the device he uses.

Older systems did offer useful features such as call holding, voice mail and call forwarding. VoIP offers all these features and then some. It offer users the ability to transfer calls to other users even if that other user is at a remote location. Users have access to voice to mail, voice to fax and video conferencing facilities. These features all allow users to be more efficient and productive.

There is also the fact that separate hardware installation at every branch were necessary in the past. This was expensive and maintenance costs were high. There had to be an operator manning each installation. Equipment upgrades cost a fortune. VoIP is installed only at one place. The maintenance cost is negligible. Because the provider hosts the main system, clients always enjoy the latest versions of the software driving VoIP.

There can be little doubt that VoIP will grow even more popular. There are just too many enticing benefits to be enjoyed. Even households will be able to benefit from VoIP.
