Have you ever considered moving your traditional phone service to VoIP? Being in the industry for over 20 years I have seen many changes and new technologies, none quite as significant as VoIP and it really came to the forefront after the start of the pandemic. If you are unsure about how it will work for you, I would be glad to have a conversation and see how it might work for you your environment.
There are many reasons why business customers are moving to a VoIP or UCaaS solution but here are the top three I have seen as of late…
1. Lower Costs - Typically you will see about a 30-60% cost reduction making this move. What is not to love about that, especially during challenging economic times?
a. Typically, your monthly recurring cost will be lower.
b. Your hardware costs will be much lower because you have no need to buy a premise-based phone switch. Your only hardware costs might be the handsets themselves.
c. No maintenance costs to worry about; you do not have to maintain and service an on-premise phone switch.
d. Your long-distance bills will be either eliminated if you do no international calls or be drastically reduced overall if you do.
e. No more fees for moves, adds, and changes.
2. Highly flexible and mobile – You can put phones anywhere you can get an internet connection; you can even install a softphone on your smartphone for the ultimate mobility.
a. You can see user status wherever an employee is sitting, in your office, across the country, or even across the world! This became extremely important after the pandemic began and people moved from the corporate office to home offices.
b. Phone call transfers to anywhere are super easy.
c. You can literally pick up your office and move to another state with zero interruption in phone service. Plug in the phones in the new location and go. Best of all, if you move to a new location outside of your local area you can keep your same phone numbers!
3. Scalability – You can add or subtract at will with minimal effort.
a. If your business needs to grow and you need more phones, this can be as quick as setting up a new user in one or two days (maybe even just a few hours) compared to weeks.
b. Perhaps you need to downsize or scale back. You can do this just as easily. Your phone system works around your needs instead of visa versa.
