Feature Benefits

From Bandipedia

Depending on what your primary objectives are, VoIP offers several benefits all of which can be realized when voice over IP is delivered over tier one, carrier grade connectivity. Some of the key benefits of VoIP are:

  • The reduction of Operating Expenditures - In most cases your VoIP will utilize an existing internet connection (preferably a T1 or higher from a tier one carrier) eliminating the needs for standalone POTS lines, PRI's, integrated circuits and any other TDM based method used to deliver traditional voice. VoIP features and functionality are a result of well thought out software, not costly hardware. Software upgrades are considerably less inexpensive than hardware upgrades. Hardware can also be very cumbersome and difficult to manage over time. A normal expense with a typical on-site PBX is a maintenance package. This involves an actual technician showing up to your door step to perform quarterly check ups. VoIP eliminates those ongoing expenses.
  • Scalable - VoIP is very scalable, meaning it will grow with your company over time. With a business class VoIP system in place SMB's can rest at night knowing they don’t have to worry about replacing old antiquated traditional phone systems. Growth and prosperity is the bottom line and you shouldn't be penalized or held captive by a traditional on-site PBX. VoIP allows SMB's to make changes on the fly and scale up or down all with a few simple clicks.
  • VoIP Simplifies - VoIP allows a single Admin user to drive a company’s entire phones system from his/her desktop. A company with several locations across the country can utilize a single source for all voice related issues. New employees can be assigned a new phone number instantly. SMB's can now standardize their voice system across all locations. A single phone system, a single point of control and a single connection for voice and data make VoIP the right choice for any SMB owner looking to simplify his/her voice system.
  • Features - VoIP gives SMB's access to PBX like features otherwise out of reach due to the costly nature of a typical on-site PBX. Features like voicemail to email, find-me follow-me and unified messaging all play a large role in SMB's increasing worker productivity. The ability for mobile workers to drive communications as if he or she were in the office is another added feature that VoIP allows.
