VoiP Corporate Advantages
The Growth Of voIP

Voice over IP (VoIP) technology is set for huge expansion in the corporate market over the coming years. Below we have outlined the major reasons why more corporate users are considering VoIP based systems:

1. Call Cost Reduction.. The lower cost of calls on VoIP systems over traditional PSDN networks is the first advantage people think of when switching to a VoIP based system. Flat rate long distance pricing is available with the Internet and can result in massive savings for both voice and facsimile transmissions. The sharing of equipment and operations costs across both data and voice users can also improve network efficiency, since excess bandwidth on one network can be used by the other, thereby creating economies of scale.
2. Simplification.. An integrated infrastructure that supports ALL forms of communication allows more standardization in equipment and leads to an overall fall operational costs
3. Flexibility: With a VoIP system you no longer need cabling for your telephone system. A VoIP system is based on software rather than hardware, making it easier to alter, upgrade and maintain A VoIP allows you to safely set up a fully functioning office anywhere a broadband connection is available - including home offices for telecommuters. Combining a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to your VoIP prevents unauthorized access to you system alleviating security concerns.
4. Scaleable. Traditional telephone systems are difficult to expand or upgrade and it is easy to outgrow your current system you may need to replace hardware and even replace your entire system. VoIP systems are easy to upgrade in line with your company growth. As your needs change your VoIP system can adapt to your changing call requirements.
5. Portability: Using IP-based phones, such as desktop or, wireless phones means that voice, data and information can be sent from employees wherever they are located. For example, enabling employees to work from remote offices or home saves substantial dollars in terms of location costs it also provides access to skilled personnel across different geographical regions and even different time zones. This flexibility can of course mean significant cost savings
6. Multimedia: Even though telephony and facsimile are the initial applications for VoIP, the longer term benefits are expected to be derived from multimedia and multiservice applications as technology develops. Videophones for example, will bring a new dimension to corporate communication where visual contact with clients is important
7. Easy Installation VoIP systems can operate side-by-side with your existing systems. You can therefore phase the introduction of VoIP to one part of your company at a time. This will ensure smooth transition to VoIP, minimize disruption and spread costs.
