Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is transforming the way businesses conduct day-to-day operations. Businesses of all types, big and small, are turning to VoIP as part of their efforts to cut communications costs.
One of the latest applications of VoIP is the VoIP call center. The “virtual” call center is a viable resource for companies that don’t have the funds to build and manage an in-house call center with all supporting technologies and infrastructure.
VoIP has entered the consumer markets too, as landlines are being replaced by IP based phones and faxes. The best part about residential VoIP is that you can communicate with your friends and relatives abroad at a fraction of the cost of traditional communications.
No doubt VoIP is here to stay. The number says it all. When the technology first emerged commercially in 2002, providers brought in $5.4 million in revenue from about 121,000 subscribers. A decade later, in 2012, about 30 million Americans pay for the service, and the industry is worth about $15.4 billion in revenue.
As per the Dec 2012 VoIP Market Research Report from IBISWorld, VoIP growth is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 15.3 percent over the next years to 2017.
As the technology gains popularity, the industry is abuzz with multitudes of offers from VoIP providers. This leaves many consumers confused because most of them are first-time users and are unaware of the differences in the offerings from different customers.
