Small business VoIP

Small business VoIP has definately arrived.While VoIP is a buzz word that is taking the business world by storm, the acronym for voice over internet protocol also seems to be causing more than it's fair share of VoIP related confusion.

With something like VoIP that has the ability to change the way we do business, there is always going to be a steady stream of disinformation. Also the fact that there is now two hundred and twenty six (at time of writing) VoIP service providers in Australia, can make things somewhat confusing when considering a VoIP solution.

Implemented well, VoIP can give a small business the ability to provide professional communications features which were previously out of reach. However, VoIP implemented in a poorly researched fashion is going to create a headache without measure.

VoIP may be seen as a way to obtain more cost effective call rates, but VoIP is far more than that. VoIP can give the features of a multi national company's telephone system to a small company. VoIP being the ability to turn voice into streaming data from point to point, also means that you can use VoIP for the ability to manipulate that data. Having your incoming VoIP calls put into a que instead of a potential customer hearing an engaged signal or leaving a voicemail message that may not be checked is a massive advantage to a small business that utlises VoIP.

The small business VoIP solutions from Resonance Networks even give you the ability to have your voicemail sent to your inbox via email at no charge as a standard feature, so you will never need miss a call and hence a potential client ever again. The cost of moving from a traditional PSTN telephone solution to a VoIP one has been prohibitive in the past. With solutions starting at less than four thousand dollars VoIP is well within the reach of most small business. VoIP is one of the few technologies that will actually pay for itself in a very short period of time. A VoIP call will cost at least (depending on provider) thirty percent less than non-VoIP (PSTN) .

VoIP also makes use of “virtual” phone lines by allowing several VoIP lines to pass through a single internet connection. VoIP then gives the cost reduction of being able to remove the need for as many hard lines as a business already has which are a recurring cost. Investing in a VoIP capability will give your business the ability to appear far more advanced than it already does while reducing your costs of ongoing telephony. This is in a nutshell why VoIP is all the rage so to speak. There are now seven hundred thousand VoIP users in Australia when in 2005 there were three hundred thousand VoIP users. Those in the know are moving toward VoIP and in a short period of time VoIP will be the standard in telecommunications in this country.
