SynergyPlus, a provider of VoIP phones for business systems, says IP telephony is the best way to reduce communications expenses and enhance productivity among businesses.

Traditional business telephone systems look simple at first; but as the company grows, they demand additional features to accommodate the growing number of staff and modern productivity tools. SynergyPlus estimates that businesses that communicate across international borders spend hugely on communications. With the help of business VoIP phones, they can reduce these expenses to a minimum.

Switching to IP telephony removes the business telephone maintenance and management requirements for the expensive bulky telephony hardware, according to SynergyPlus. VoIP phone system also saves on resources on an ongoing basis, thanks to their efficiency. More importantly, it provides businesses with a more reliable internal communications as all of these communications are transported over the company's pre-existing data network.

Business VoIP phones are known for their affordability. International calls between offices in different parts of the world are reduced either to nothing or to negligible as the calls travel over IP data networks where bandwidth is far cheaper than over traditional telephony networks.

Meanwhile, costs for external calls such as sales, marketing, support, calls to staff on their mobiles while away from the office, conference calls and other business telephone calls are also reduced, SynergyPlus officials added. "Although external calls will end up being routed over the telephony network for at least part of the way, they are still far more efficient as the bulk of the routing will be done over data networks wherever possible,” according to a spokesperson from SynergyPlus. Once the business decides which routes call take, the VoIP phone system does this automatically.

Another advantage of business VoIP phone system is that they are highly scalable, so they can function for a staff of 100 or 1000 staff just as easily as a staff of 1 - 10. Consequently, with IP-based business telephone systems consolidation across branch offices to a single company-wide business VoIP solution provides consistency across the entire company.

By offering the efficiency and flexibility businesses need today, business VoIP has become a crucial contributor for the success of several enterprises, according to SynergyPlus officials.

Another advantage of business VoIP, as SynergyPlus noted recently, is that it helps organizations comply with the Data Protection Act. Business VoIP can help maintain data security at a time when identity theft of all kinds is on the rise, according to SynergyPlus.
