Is your small business benefiting from VoIP phone system cost savings?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone services offers many advantages for SMEs, which is why we’ve recommended it to many small businesses in and around Bicester.

VoIP is a cloud based phone system. You may have already communicated via the cloud, for example, if you’ve made a Skype call from your laptop or mobile phone.

Cost Savings with VoIP Phone Systems

A primary advantage is that VoIP hosted phone systems offer cost savings to small businesses. For a start, you pay an affordable monthly subscription rather than the large upfront cost of investing in hardware. Not only does this have immediate financial benefits, it also makes it straight forward to expand or reduce the services as your company evolves.

Unlike traditional hardware, VoIP systems are constantly being updated, so it remains relevant to the changing needs of the business. In addition, call charges are lower and this is particularly noticeable if you are trading internationally.

Versatility with VoIP Phone Systems

If you and your employees benefit from flexible working, or you are more likely out and about than office based, VoIP allows you to retain a professional business image. An internal extension can be mirrored on your mobile phone. This means that you can pick up a call to your office from any location.

If you relocate the business, it really is as simple as unplugging the cable as you leave the old office and plugging it back in at your new premises with a VoIP phone system. Your phone number isn’t tied to a physical location and nor is the technology. This opens up many new possibilities when it comes to flexible working… summer in Bicester, winter in Southern Spain?

Feature Rich Communication

VoIP phone systems include a host of features that improve the efficiency of business communications, including video conferencing, call waiting, call redirects, personalised ring tones and data encryption. If you are looking for specific functionality that would be beneficial in your workplace, we’ll recommend options that include those features.
