Does your office still have a traditional phone system? Have you been planning to replace your traditional phone lines with a more up-to-date system? There are a variety of phone systems currently available, and one of these is based on VoIP technology. Not only are business VoIP systems an effective communication solution, they are a welcome alternative to traditional telephone systems.

VoIP technology utilizes the Internet to make telephone calls, and is becoming much more prevalent in both the public and private sector. This technology provides effective solutions for small businesses as well as large organizations. Furthermore, mobile VoIP usage is also increasing, and it is estimated that there will be approximately one billion people using this technology by 2018.

There are a number of obvious benefits to having a VoIP system. One of these is monthly costs. When you replace a traditional phone line with a VoIP system, it can potentially save you between 20%-50% on a monthly basis.

It goes without saying that having an effective and reliable telephone system is integral to conducting day-to-day business operations. In addition to providing communication solutions that include hosted phone systems, VoIP services also include video access and provide an excellent platform for virtual conferencing.

When considering VoIP business services, it’s also important to note that a recent survey conducted by Sage Research had some interesting results. This study showed that Internet telephones actually increased worker productivity. It was found that each employee increased their weekly productivity, on average, by 3.9 hours.

Since more and more people in the United States are employed by companies that approve of, encourage, or require some level of telework, VoIP technology has the capacity to streamline and enhance this process. Mobile VoIP in particular can assist employees and employers with maintaining contact when they are not in the same location. Furthermore, this increases flexibility with conference calls, meetings, and other communication needs, such as providing updates to clients and colleagues.
