Vintage telephone switchboardHow much has your current telephone system changed from the 'modern technology' of the 1920's? If you are using a traditional style telephone system, it may look modern but it really is not all that different from the old-school switchboard.  VOIP, or Voice Over IP, is rapidly overtaking the traditional telephone. Why?

Before we look at 'why' so many people are turning to VOIP, we should look at what we mean by the term VOIP. VOIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol, allows you to interconnect traditional telephones, traditional-looking telephones and non-traditional devices to communicate using voice, text and video over your internal network as well as the Internet. By using the voice over Internet protocol along with SIP or Session Initiated Protocol, you are able to achieved "unified communications." With unified communications, you literally integrate your voice communications, video communications, text, email, fax, cell-phone and more into one simple interface. What does that mean for the small business? You will have a wealth of features which will enable you to communicate in ways you never imagined.

In many cases, the ability to communicate in new and exciting ways is not as important as the ever present need to reduce costs in a small business. The new SIP protocol combined with VOIP allows the individual and the small business to dramatically reduce their basic telephone costs. Using SIP and the Internet, a small business can integrate all of their sites into one PBX. This will reduce the management costs associated with multiple PBX systems. More importantly, calls between sites will no longer incur costs due to long distance. Calling your branch office in another state is no different than calling the office down the hall.

Because the costs associated with calling remote sites are eliminated, collaboration and productivity will reach new levels!
