Do I need VoIP?
It appears to be that migration to VoIP seems inevitable for all businesses. BT has recently announced that by 2012 they will no longer be delivering new ISDN digital telephone lines (existing lines will be retained), the type of telephone line used by the majority of organisations worldwide.
There are however many benefits to start using the technology sooner rather than later. The benfits include-
Free "on net" calls – create your own VoIP business network simply with colleagues, clients and suppliers and call free within that VoIP network, regardless of location
Substantially reduced rates – the cost of calling outside your VoIP business network is greatly reduced, giving you even more savings. It is often also the case that line rental savings can be made.
Enhanced connectivity - connect home users, sales teams and clients at a touch of a button over a xDSL connection (typically)
Minimal investment – depending on which solution you opt for the set up costs can be surprisingly low with a relatively painless transition.
Simpler infrastructure - With VoIP on your network you no longer need separate cabling for your telephone system
Improve productivity - VoIP treats voice as if it were any other kind of data, so users can attach documents to voice messages or participate in virtual meetings using shared data and video-conferencing
Flexibility - A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an allocated amount of bandwidth on the public Internet where public access is prevented through encryption. If your company has its own VPN and combines it with VoIP, you can set up a fully functioning office anywhere there is a broadband connection
Number portability - By implementing a VoIP solution you can retain your existing business telephone number and use it anywhere in the world. New numbers are also easily obtained and also used globally.
