With VOiP Systems Philadelphia Companies Become More Productive

By Donald Patterson


The business environment has changed. More and more previously closed markets are becoming available and technology allows even very small businesses to compete on a global scale. Surviving in this harsh and competitive environment requires innovation, the latest technology and superior customer service. Consumers want to know what is going on and any company that fails to communicate properly will struggle to survive. With VoIP systems Philadelphia companies have no problems to keep in touch with all role players at all times.

Internet based communication is not a new concept. Initially, not many people or companies were interested because a reliable internet connection was needed to make the system work. Over the past few years, internet connectivity has spread like wildfire and there is hardly a spot anywhere in the world where reliable and fast internet access is not available. Subsequently, internet based communication suddenly soared in popularity.

Many new clients consider internet communication from a cost point of view. Suppliers promise huge savings and they are not wrong. Large companies have been surprised to learn that their previous communication bills have been halved after they moved to an internet system. But internet communication not only save companies money. It increases their profits because it enhances client satisfaction and it increases the productivity of all employees.

One of the biggest past frustrations of businesses was the fact that one had to be physically present at a very specific workstation in order to make or receive calls. The telephone extension served as a type of chain, making it impossible to move from one location to another without risking the possibility of losing and important call. Internet communication do not require any user to be at any specific place in order to take a call.

There is another massive benefit related to an internet system. All the communication records of each user is stored in the cloud. The very moment the user accesses the system, this information instantly becomes available. Users are therefore not restricted to a specific location, but they can use any device they want. The only proviso is that the device must be able to access the internet. This makes internet based communication versatile and mobile.

Older switchboard systems offered features like voice mail, call holding and call forwarding. Users of an internet system still have these features but they also have many other productivity enhancing features that they can use. Voice to email, voice to fax, multiple user video conferencing and the ability to transfer calls to users at other locations are just a few of these exciting features.

A company wide switchboard system, as was the norm in days gone by, is an expensive exercise. It was necessary to install hardware at every branch or shop and each switchboard had to be manned by an operator. Maintaining all these installation is very costly. With an internet system only one installation is required and the service provider will host the software and maintain it. This ensures even further long term savings.

It seems as if the future of telecommunications lies in internet based systems. They are affordable, reliable and very efficient. One wonders what other communication marvels wait in the near future.
