Why Big Businesses Are Turning to VoIP

By Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk Editor

While VoIP has a number of appealing benefits for users of all sorts, large businesses are especially looking to the technology for cost savings.
 
In today's economy and for any large businesses looking to stay ahead in the marketplace, the need to save on costs and apply those costs to other core business needs its vital. With VoIP, businesses can save 20-30 percent on their phone bills and enjoy a number of other benefits.



 
 
For companies with a high volume of calls, VoIP phone systems help cut expenses and add to the bottom line as savings are linked to every call made. Also, for businesses with multi-site operations, communications costs can quickly increase along with the number of calls made to other office sties, with a VoIP phone system these costs can be eliminated since all calls made are made on one network, reducing costs, regardless of where the office is physically located.
 
Another area where VoIP phone systems are beneficial to large businesses is for international calling. With VoIP, the cost of calling internationally is eliminated. Also with VoIP, it's possible for businesses to establish a local presence in distant locations by providing local contact numbers.
 
The VendorGuru.com article also points to the added flexibility of VoIP phone systems for larger businesses as well as the ability to eliminate the various contact numbers for users who can instead use a single number to be reached regardless of where the user is located.
 
Once these benefits have been realized, and a business is ready to make the move to a VoIP phone system, it's important that they also decide between a hosted or premise installed PBX (News - Alert). While hosted PBX phone systems are typically popular amongst smaller businesses as they offer more room for future changes and more cost savings, large businesses may have the internal resources to support an on premise PBX.
 
Once this decision has been made, organizations can look to providers who offer the solutions that best meet their needs. Visit VendorGuru.com for more.
