Did you know that the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) market in the UK is predicted to grow by $4.83 billion until 2026? This growth rate of 9% is primarily fuelled by the changes in the working world over the last couple of years. The modern workplace is dependent on modern solutions, and legacy systems are increasingly phased out.
VoIP uses an internet connection to make and receive calls as opposed to traditional landlines. In this month’s blog, we highlight the ways VoIP revolutionised the way we approach business telephony and deep dive into its business benefits for companies just like yours.
The 5 business benefits of VoIP we’ll highlight are:
- Higher call quality
- Increased flexibility
- Improved reliability
- Better scalability
- Prepared for the ISDN switch off
1. Higher call quality
The advantage of VoIP as opposed to traditional telephony solutions is reliable call quality. As long as you have a strong internet connection with enough bandwidth, your calls will be crystal clear. Additionally, you have full control over settings and your team can use headsets if you’re working from the office, ensuring that you always have the highest quality calls.
2. Increased flexibility
Work from wherever, whenever. One of the benefits of VoIP is that it allows you unrivalled flexibility, enabling your team to move phones across offices and to use the same number whether they’re working from home, in the office or even from abroad. VoIP is the modern solution for business telephony and allows you to build the telephone system that meets your requirements.
3. Improved reliability
With innovations such as Skype leading the way, cloud calling solutions have evolved over the last couple of decades to become the most reliable telephony options for businesses. And even if something goes wrong, VoIP issues can usually be fixed within minutes, making it the preferred option for modern businesses.
4. Better scalability
With legacy telephony systems you’re generally limited to a set number of lines, and it can be quite a hassle to add or remove them when your business needs change. One of the benefits of VoIP is that you’re completely sidestepping this issue. Your business is growing? You can easily add users to your VoIP setup, and vice versa. The only limitation is your internet connection, but as long as that is strong—the sky is the limit.
5. Prepared for the ISDN switch off
Are you aware that September 2023 marks the absolute end of ISDN-related sales? With the end in sight for this legacy set of communication standards, it’s time to upgrade to modern solutions. Migrating to VoIP allows you to future-proof your business and be unaffected by the looming ISDN switch off.
