VoIP is the future of telecom service around the world and businesses across the globe have realized the huge potential of this new and evolving technology. Businesses prefer the latest VoIP technology due to its low call rates. There are many business companies in the US who have switched over to the latest digital telephone system and others are following suit very quickly.
When companies switch to VoIP, there are mainly two options available to them. They either can choose a Hosted VoIP solution or an on-premise VoIP solution. The hosted VoIP solution is provided by a cloud telephony service provider. In an On -premise VoIP solution the company needs to install their own IP-PBX system in the office premises.
When a call takes place with an on-premise VoIP solution, voices from the end point or IP Phones are converted to data packets that are transmitted over a secure Local Area Network. Once the data packets are on the LAN, they are routed to the premise based voice switch or IP-PBX. The on-premise VoIP switch is connected to a TDM and long distance network. This connection is established by an integrated PRI or SIP trunking system. Internal station to station calls never leave the LAN with a premise based VoIP solution, and the routing of the calls is managed via the voice switch in the server IP-PBX box. This helps the business organization as the calls do not leave their own LAN, and you end up saving a lot of money.
There are several benefits that an on-premise IP-PBX based VoIP system provides. Two important features are UC (Unified Communication) and VC (Video Conferencing). Unified Communication lets the owner of the business keep track of the employees and the clients simultaneously. You will know which employee is free or which one is busy. You can send texts to employees when you are working on a completely different application. When you have large number of employees, a good UC system manages their presence for you. In addition, UC allows you to integrate your computer applications so you can send and receive real time information.
VoIP uses the Internet so it is capable of sending video files through Internet. Video conferencing lets business stake holders from many diverse parts of the world attend one single meeting from the comfort of their offices. There are many call manager applications that help to combine the computer and VoIP phone to one singe communication system. You just need a mouse to dial, answer or transfer calls without ever touching the phone.
Larger companies have offices spread over multiple locations and the communication system should facilitate smooth and seamless communication among the different departments. Employees of larger companies also have to travel extensively and this is why it is important that they are able to communicate without any hassles even while travelling. VoIP is one of the best communication system that offers huge mobility options; from mobile apps to wireless calls, everything is possible when there is a VoIP system in place. Executives can log into their centralized communication system while travelling, and use the VoIP as if they were sitting on their own desks.
There are several other features that are of great advantage to the large scale businesses. Features like integrated Voicemail, music on hold and many such services help in improving the customer care services of a company. Voicemail is built right into the IP-PBX server of VoIP, and there is no need to add extra hardware. It is flexible, and enables one to adapt to what they need.
