Is your business still running on a traditional, fixed-line phone system? If the answer is yes, then it’s probably time to consider switching to a modern VoIP system. Not only will a modern IP Phone system save you money, but it will also improve your companies productivity, allowing you to compete with larger organisations.   What’s the difference between VoIP and Fixed Line? Instead of transmitting your conversations over the fixed line public service telephone network, a modern VoIP system uses the internet. Your calls are turned into high-quality digital signals and routed via your provider’s VoIP server network. No need for expensive equipment, cabling or maintenance contracts, just plug in and talk.   What are the benefits of a VoIP Business Telephone System?

• Convenience, Flexibility & Scalability Moving office or adding extra phones used to be an expensive nightmare for business. You’d have to wait for an engineer to come in and move sockets, install hardware and then configure the system. A modern VoIP system eliminates all of this expense and inconvenience. You can add or remove phones from your IP business phone system quickly and cheaply. You can even include home workers into your business system quickly and easily.

• Extra Features That Will Improve Staff Productivity IP Phone systems can be set up to offer a host of useful features at little or no additional cost. Once you have features like easy call forwarding, flexible call diversion, call recording, music on hold, interactive voice response (IVR) and call hunt, you’ll wonder how you lived without them.

• Built-in Disaster Recovery Capability Got a fixed line business telephone system? Then ask yourself what would happen to your business if your office were closed due to a fire, flood or other emergency? With a VoIP system, you can receive and make business calls anywhere that has an internet connection.
