Benefits of Hosted VoIP for Small Businesses |
For small companies that are just getting started with a full-featured phone system, hosted VoIP is often the best option. With hosted VoIP, the entire phone system (the exception being actual phones) is taken off-site and hosted by a provider in a secure facility. Administrative functions are performed using a browser-based portal on the Web. There are a number of reasons why an SMB should consider a hosted VoIP solution. A few of these are listed below.
Cost Savings - the savings an SMB can realize with a hosted VoIP solution are significant. Calculated savings should take into consideration long distance charges, monthly access costs and equipment purchase/maintenance.
Applications - hosted VoIP solutions come with applications that can significantly improve employee communications, resulting in higher overall productivity.
Upgrade - going with a hosted VoIP solution is particularly beneficial if a company's existing communications system is at the end of its lifecycle. Not only does it introduce brand-new technology, but also technology with features not previously available with the older system.
Multiple Location Support - a hosted VoIP solution works very well for a company with multiple locations, or workers in more than one geographical area. By installing hosted VoIP at each location, all employees have access to standard phone system features. |
