However, many old school PBX phone systems are facing end of life, are rarely updated, and are hard to repair because those that have experience working on the older systems have retired. Replacing these systems with equivalent PBX phone systems can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Landline telephone networks are rapidly becoming a thing of the past for most businesses. Today’s businesses are looking for reliable, cost-effective telecommunications services. That’s where VoIP comes into the picture. VoIP has more robust functionality and is a smaller up-front commitment than repairing and maintaining the older PBX phone systems.
VoIP, a service which is also known as Voice-over-IP (Internet-Protocol), offers businesses a more reliable and economical system for communication. By cutting former dependence upon landline-based telephone service, companies can embrace the dependability which comes with telecommunications backed by a high-speed internet connection.
A simple switch to Hosted VoIP offers:
Flexibility: VoIP is designed to operate efficiently on any internet-connected device. Whether you have a phone, tablet, computer, or smartphone, any device can be used as a VoIP phone.
Enhanced Functionality: Although VOIP stands for voice over IP, it is not limited to voice alone. You can make one-on-one video calls or even video conference calls.
Convenience: VoIP offers businesses complete portability. Internet-based telecommunications systems can be used anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
VoIP technology is customized to the needs of each business, and as such, monthly costs vary. Some of the factors which affect pricing include:
VoIP integrated into desk phones
Migration to smartphone or software phone telephone service
The number of employees in-house and working remotely
One of the major advantages of VoIP is the low up-front cost compared to a traditional on-site telephone system.
One of VoIP’s many advantages is a more professional telephone presence with partners, vendors, and clients. Some of the professional features businesses can count on from Strive include:
