There is as much disinformation as good information about small business VoIP floating around cyberspace and it is important to get the right info, so here I am going to try to debunk a few of the myths that are going around about small business VoIP systems.

One myth about small business VoIP solutions is that call quality is somehow lacking with VoIP and that for this reason it is not a viable option for installation into a business application. This is utterly false and VoIP call quality over a standard small business solution is just as clear IF NOT MORE SO than a PSTN system. The reason a small business VoIP solution CAN be more clear with better call quality is that it being a digital sound receiver and transmitter can pick up a much wider range of sound frequency than regular PSTN phone systems. Myth busted.

The second myth I wish to explore is that it is far to expensive for a small business to be able to move to a small business VoIP solution. This again is rubbish, any ROI (return on investment) calculator will show the small business VoIP system paying for itself in a very short space of time. This will depend on the type of business of course but most that install a small business VoIP solution will have it paid for from the cost savings within a few months to a single year. This means that a small business VoIP system is actually a very shrewd business move for those that are able to get past the initial fear of making the decision to actually purchase a small business VoIP system. When it is put across in this fashion one may ask the question can your business afford NOT to install a small business VoIP system? Myth busted.

Myth number three in the small business VoIP system debate is up-time of the system and if the small business VoIP system goes down, my lifeblood of my business is gone. Yet again this is just not true, there are many systems of redundancy and failover for small business VoIP systems now and the first step toward exploring them is to look at VoIP providers that are ONLY providing VoIP services to business. This is their bread and butter and companies like Resonance Networks to name one can create small business VoIP solution that has no chinks in its armour so to speak. If in case of internet service going down, it can fail over to another, in the case of VoIP provider going down it can fail over to the original PSTN service that will always have to be underlying to run the interent over anyway making most small business VoIP systems rock solid and almost foolproof. Myth busted.

In summary there is a solution to every issue regarding the implementation of a small business VoIP solution and fear of the unknown should not prevent any business from reaping the massive functionality and cost benefits of having a small business VoIP solution in their workplace.
