Hosted Business Phone Systems (VOIP)

VoIP (voice over internet protocol) runs your phone system through an internet connection, either from your mobile phone or computer. Sound is converted into a digital signal transmitted via broadband. With a VoIP system, you can ditch the traditional copper wires that can cause time-wasting outages and delays in communication.

The best phone system for your small business depends on a few factors:

• Are you installing a new phone system or replacing an existing one?

• How many phones do you need? Small businesses won’t need as many as large corporations with larger staff and expansive office facilities. Part of choosing the right phone system is deciding if all employees or just a few need to have expanded calling capabilities.

• What services do you need? Phone, conference calling, video/web conferencing, instant messaging, text messaging, faxing? A comprehensive look at your needs will help you choose the best phone system for your organization.

Hosted phone systems save time and money. They are easily scalable as your business grows. They eliminate the need for expensive, cluttered PBX hardware and software. Storing data in the cloud is a safe alternative that allows for easy access from anywhere. Plus, updates are automatic. A hosted phone system easily accommodates employees who work remotely.
