Enterprise VoIP: Low Cost and Convenience

By Jessica Kostek, TMCnet Channel Editor

Businesses that do well generally are those that streamline processes and lower costs. It’s no secret, the more a business can lower operating costs, the more competitive that business can be.
 
One way businesses can achieve both of those goals is to integrate an enterprise VoIP solution from Pittsburgh-based VoIP Street. The benefits of VoIP far outweigh the technology’s drawbacks, according to VoIP Street, an enterprise IP telephony provider.

 
Today’s VoIP services have evolved for users to not only make calls but receive calls using standard or IP phones. Sound quality has improved, as well, and analysts say that more and more businesses are migrating from traditional phones systems to VoIP.

Using VoIP can significantly reduce telecommunications costs, according to VoIP Street officials. With lower expenses, VoIP providers can charge much less than their competitors and businesses no longer have to maintain separate networks for phones and data.
 
By switching your phone’s source, tasks normally associated with telecom networks are diminished.
 
For example if an employee needs to change office locations, the costs associated with telephone additions and changes – which can be $100 or more per occurrence – are virtually eliminated. All one has to do is move the IP phone (or traditional phone with a VoIP adapter) to a different broadband network jack and plug it in.

With a VoIP system from VoIP Street, companies are given more freedom to do things that aren’t possible with traditional phone technology. For example, a company has:
 
  • Mobility: Take your phone system with you just as long as you have access to a broadband connection, you can use your VoIP system.
  • Accessibility: Get voicemail and faxes sent to e-mail.
  • Virtual phone numbers: Have a local number not only where your company is located.
  • Increase productivity: Many VoIP phone numbers can be configured to simultaneously ring on multiple devices – such as cell and landline phones – before going to voicemail, eliminating “phone tag (News - Alert).”
 
For companies interested in saving money, VoIP Street can help. The company offers fast support, flexible VoIP packages, easy integration with multiple roadways with SIP and IAX, instant provisioning, clear call quality and multi-homed connectivity.
 
As a company grows, networks need to grow too, and with a normal telecom service, this might not be plausible. The convenience and low cost associated with an enterprise VoIP service make it worthwhile to switch.
