5 Ways VoIP Can Help Your Business
Let’s start with the basics: what is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a system that allows its users to make telephone calls utilizing their internet connection, as opposed to those limiting copper lines. The system works by converting sound into data, which is then sent from user to user via the Internet. While there’s more to it than that, those are the basic principles. VoIP has revolutionized communications for many businesses, and it could do the same for yours if you take a few moments to look at the benefits.
Here are five features that could enhance your business.
1. VoIP can save your business money.
Hosted telephone systems generally work out to be far cheaper per month than analogue lines, with long-distance calls significantly less expensive to make. Most reputable VoIP providers offer unlimited calling minutes, local or long distance, at a fixed rate that is reasonable, consistent, and an affordable monthly fee.
2. This is flexible & scalable.
VoIP is ideal for small, medium or growing businesses and organizations. Cloud hosted telephone systems are scalable, which means they grow with your business. It’s simple to add users or extensions and to move your physical location simply by unplugging your phones and plugging them in at the new address.
3. A VoIP system can be up and running quickly.
VoIP phone systems hosted in the cloud are installed remotely by your service provider’s team. This eliminates the need for on-site setup. Your business stays up and running without unnecessary delays. There’s no need to wait days for an engineer to visit. Setup is quick, and the support team will be able to talk and walk you through using your new system over the phone.
4. It can be accessed anywhere.
VoIP works great for businesses that need flexibility and mobility. It’s ideal for remote work, travel, or managing multiple office locations. A hosted phone system lets you stay connected no matter where you are. With a Softphone App, you can make and receive calls from anywhere.

5. VoIP is secure, safe & reliable.
Your phone system is your link to your customers and your main means of doing business. The best VoIP providers have hosted systems with built in redundancy, to ensure continuity of service. Should you lose power or your internet connection, your phone system is still up and able to answer and direct calls for you.
