Astonishing Advances In Business Telephone Systems Help Increase Productivity

By Deanne Shepard


Nobody will argue the fact that effective communication is the core success factor of every organization. Telegraphic and telephonic communication systems have been around for many decades, but as the world becomes more competitive and as technology advances in leaps and bounds traditional business telephone systems simply do not satisfy the needs of enterprise. Companies in Vancouver BC want cost effective communication and they want to be in touch at all times.

Internet based communication has proven to be up the exacting demands of modern enterprises. VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol has advanced at an incredible rate. It is gaining field against other communication networks at a rapid pace. In fact, conventional communication networks are declining fast. Clients love the efficiency and flexibility of internet communication. It offers a competitive edge that simply cannot be matched.

Flexibility is probably one of the major benefits appreciated by internet clients. Traditional networks are expensive to install and they do not offer the flexibility of upgrading or downgrading at will. Internet networks, however, utilize a single and central installation and clients can add locations, departments, users and divisions at will, even if the location is geographically far removed from the central installation.

One of the main benefits offered by internet telephony is the fact that users do not need to be in a specific location or at their desks in order to make or receive calls. They can, in fact, be almost anywhere. This fact, coupled with the fact that users are able to use devices such as laptop computers, tablets and smart phones to access the network is a recipe for productivity and efficiency.

Companies are delighted by the huge savings that internet networks offer them. It is not uncommon to cut the bill by half. This massive savings are made even more attractive when one takes into account that internet based communication do not require a telephone operator at every location. There is just one system and in this way further significant savings are achieved.

Clients can save even more money because their maintenance bills will shrink significantly. Firstly, there are not a host of installations, one at each location, to be services, repaired and maintained. There is only one installation. Then there is the fact that the software driving the network is hosted on the hardware owned by the service provider. They are therefore responsible for central maintenance and ongoing upgrades.

Users of VoIP continue to enjoy all the features that they had when they used PABX systems. They still have call forwarding and conference call facilities, for example. However, with VoIP they also have time saving features such as voice to email, fax to email, unlimited call forwarding, even to remote locations and intercom facilities. Users or managers can also access a wide variety of reports that can help them improve efficiency.

Efficient communication is without a doubt one of the most important factors that can determine the success of failure of any enterprise. VoIP offers clients not only efficient communication, but also substantial savings. It is feature rich and there is no reason to doubt that it will continue to become the preferred communication method.
