In our last article we discussed about some definite advantageous scenario where your business should or at least consider the switch to VoIP. In this article we are going to expand upon that, and finally provide you with a checklist of things you need to do prepare your business for the change into a fully digital VoIP system.

Another scenario when you should consider switching to VoIP is when you are moving to a new office and unsure or do not want to spend too much on cabling. Instead of running cables to each workstation for both voice and data, you can choose to only run the data cable as VoIP handsets work off the internet. This can also be true if workstations are not fixed and telephones need to move from one place to another all the time. With a VoIP handset, as long as you have an access point to the Internet, you will be able to connect your VoIP handset.

Another benefit of a VoIP system compared to traditional PBX system when making the switch from traditional analog phone systems is that with VoIP, you do not need to spend on the initial infrastructure of the PBX system which will set you back a few thousand dollars just for the backbone system. With VoIP, all you need to purchase are the handsets, which you will need to purchase with a PBX system anyway.

Finally, if your business has many international clients and is spending a lot on long distance telephone bills, VoIP is the perfect match for that particular problem. Call rates for major international destinations go as low as 5c/minute on our VoIP plan.

Getting your business ready for VoIP
