Below are a few top reasons why hosted VoIP is being adopted rapidly by enterprises for unified communications.
Save Money
In most cases, on premise PBX systems can cost tens of thousands of dollars to have installed as well as to maintain. This can add up to quite a bit of money for enterprises with several locations. Saving money is one of the top reasons why businesses make the switch. With VoIP, you have even more tools at your fingertips and because the service uses that internet connection that already exists within the company, the savings can be exponential.
Expand Rapidly To Capture New Opportunities And Open New Offices
Because the service is so affordable, it makes it easier to expand. Not only does a company save money on communication services that can be better used to build the business but there is also no huge cost to expand to new locations or to open up new office spaces. With hosted VoIP solutions, each location is connected on one phone system which allows employees to connect easily no matter where they are located.
Reduce Management Headaches
In the past, individuals in a management position would find themselves worrying about every little aspect of the company. Before VoIP, management had to take on phone calls, read letters, answer emails, take voicemails, speak with clients, attend meetings, etc., all on separate devices. With VoIP, not only are the daily activities of a manger streamlined, but also the activities of each employee. Employees have their own features that better serve customers, leaving the management team to focus on projects and the company rather than every aspect of the company.
Give Companies A Host Of New Features
With hosted VoIP, a company can expect a large selection of features. The system uses the internet wisely to provide several service options to keep employees connected with each other as well as with customers and potential clients.
Scale from phone, virtual fax, desktop, and videoconferencing and web conferencing systems, up to full-blown customer communications/call center tools
With VoIP, companies also have the ability to scale from traditional systems to a fully functioning call center system. VoIP has call center capabilities and features which can push your customer service to the next level.
Achieve Business Continuity Under Adverse Conditions
No matter what the situation of the business, with VoIP, employees can stay connected. The daily grind of the office can stay on track no matter if sales go down or times get tough. The potential to continue to market the business and promote costs the same so businesses can continue to operate even under adverse conditions.
Integrate with NetSuite, Salesforce and other CRM offerings
If a company already has certain applications in the business, VoIP can easily integrate these services. From NetSuite to Salesforce or other CRM options, VoIP is easily added to work well with these products.
