Smart businesses are always looking for ways to be more cost-efficient, while at the same time, maximizing technology and other resources to maintain a cutting edge and stay competitive.  Of course, it’s often easier said than done. But there is a service out there that satisfies both by helping businesses to save money and enjoy the latest and greatest calling features.  It’s called VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), and it’s growing in popularity as a service for businesses everywhere.

Why Choose VoIP?

VoIP – Voice Over Internet Protocol – is a form of technology that allows for speech (typically phone, though it can transmit from computer-to-computer) communication via the Internet.  The business benefits are numerous, including cost-savings, flexibility, scalability and the ability to upgrade what are often out-dated phone systems.

If you already use Microsoft 365, then adding a Microsoft VoiP solution (through Teams) is a great way to extend your investment while also providing a modern calling experience.

Top 3 Reasons Businesses Are Choosing VoIP Over Traditional Phone Service

#1 – It’s Less Expensive

Using VoIP means eliminating those high monthly phone company bills that charge you for every minute, fax transmissions and a variety of local, state and federal fees and surcharges.  With VoIP, calls travel over your existing Internet service, meaning that one bill that you were already paying each month now covers your phone service as well.

#2 – You Can Upgrade Your Phone System

While VoIP does allow you to talk directly through the computer, businesses typically choose IP Phones as part of their VoIP package.  IP Phones look and function just like regular handsets, with the added benefit of being equipped with all modern calling features like caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling and more.  These are all features that traditional phone company plans charge extra for.  IP Phones work with VoIP because they come with an Ethernet connection which allows them to connect directly to your network. A full phone system upgrade can often be cost-prohibitive under a traditional phone system plan, so if you are long overdue for an upgrade of your dusty old handsets, this is an ideal way to accomplish that while still saving money.

#3 – VoIP Is Both Flexible and Scalable – It Will Grow With Your Business

With VoIP, you can say goodbye to costly installs and long delays in getting lines added for new users.  Adding a new line is as simple as plugging in a new handset.  Even better, because VoIP is Internet-based, you can use it wherever you have an Internet connection.  This can be a great benefit in today’s mobile workforce or even for disaster recovery planning, because employees can take their IP Phone with them to another office location in order to stay connected and available via phone.
