What is VoIP?
How businesses communicate has changed dramatically over the last few years, with many firms choosing to move their phone systems to a cloud-based solution; VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) offers businesses of all sectors and sizes the opportunity to work smarter and faster, while saving telephony costs.
But that’s not all. Cloud phone systems are packed full of call enhancement features designed for better collaboration; whether you’re a small business or require a multi-site deployment, the technology is quick and easy to install, configure and maintain.
How does a VoIP phone system work?
Moving to VoIP means your phone system will run over the internet, which opens the door to make free or very low cost calls. It works by digitalising sound, compressing it to make voice packets smaller, then breaking it up and sending it over an IP network to both desktop and mobile devices. Simple!
A VoIP phone system gives every business the ability to be much more flexible because you can take and manage calls from wherever you are, anytime, anywhere – you’ll never miss an important call again! So, the question is, why wouldn’t you consider making the switch to the cloud?
