Not for nothing was The Aldridge Company, a specialist in IT and cloud solutions, listed among the fastest growing private companies in America by the Inc. magazine and the Houston Business journal. Living up to its vision of providing complete IT management, it introduced Hosted VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) to enable businesses of all sizes to accelerate growth.
Already a provider, consultant and integrator of IT and cloud computing solutions, Aldridge’s Hosted VoIP phone service will allow SMBs to enjoy features that are the prerogative of only large companies and that too for a small price.
According to Patrick R. Wiley, president and chief operating officer of The Aldridge Company, a phone system should be a business catalyst and that’s exactly what the company’s hosted VoIP phone service promises to be. It handles everything right from the phone equipment to servers and services. That means that there is no need to invest in expensive on-premise phone systems, no maintenance, no management and no software to house.
Further, hosted VoIP offers enterprise-class features: unlimited domestic long distance, call conferencing, disaster recovery, caller ID, voicemail to e-mail, auto attendant and so much more. Businesses get ‘more for less.’ Things can’t get better than that.
Cash-starved SMBs are unable to replace their outdated legacy phone systems with the more expensive ones, but have to remain competitive to stay in business. Hosted VoIP admirably suits their needs. It affordably provides the flexibility, scalability and versatility they need and at a price that they can afford.
"We expect strong demand from SMBs that are ready to dump their outdated legacy phone system because they want a big-company presence while reducing costs, increasing employee productivity and enjoying more communications tools than they've ever had before," said Patrick R. Wiley, president and chief operating officer of The Aldridge Company.
Wiley’s optimism regarding strong demand is borne out of Infonetics Research’s (News - Alert) report, which predicts that VoIP for business services will more than double between 2011 and 2015.
With companies looking to reduce costs and complexities of traditional on-premises PBX (News - Alert) systems and in-house VoIP systems, the future for hosted VoIP is bright, especially among SMEs.
