With Hosted VoIP Vancouver Companies Can Be More Competitive

By Diane Mitchell


In this day and ages only businesses that can compete effectively and that remain on the cutting edge of technology can hope to do well. Consumers have more choices than ever before and they are becoming more demanding. If they are not satisfied with the service that they receive, they simply take their business elsewhere. Effective service depends, to a great deal, on efficient communication systems. That is why, when moving over to hosted VoIP Vancouver businesses find that they can take their service efficiency to new levels.

Many people think that internet based communication is a new thing. This is not the case. It has been available for a number of years but it did not take off in the beginning because it requires constant, good quality internet connections. This was not always available everywhere. Things have changed, however, and today advanced technology has seen to it that internet access is possible even in extremely remote areas.

For many companies, the main motivating factor for moving over to internet based systems is the promise that they will save a significant amount. This is indeed the case. Some larger clients have stated that they managed to half their previous communication bills. For major companies these savings can translate into savings of millions every year.

Saving on the monthly bill by moving to internet systems is just the beginning of the savings that can be made. Older systems, such as PABX, required the installation and maintenance of expensive hardware at every location, site, building and branch. With internet based systems only one central installation is necessary and, best of all, it is hosted and maintained by the service provider.

Huge savings in the cost of communication is not the only benefit offered by internet systems. One of the most important benefits of these systems is that users are not tied to a desk. They can access the system at any time and from anywhere. This means that employees will never miss important calls and they are free to move to those places where they are most needed.

Users just love the fact that they do not have to use a specific handset to use the system. They can use any device that can access the internet and they do not have to use the same device consistently. All records are stored in the cloud and these records are available to users regardless of where they are or what device they are using at the time.

Users of internet systems are generally thrilled by the many benefits offered to users. Users will still have access to familiar features such as voice, mail, call transferring and call holding. However, internet systems offer many other advanced features such as voice to email, email to fax, fax to email, the ability to transmit electronic files and video conferencing, to name just a few.

The internet has forever changed the way we shop, entertain ourselves, keep up to date and, of course, communicate. Internet based communications system not only save users money, but they also offer superior features previously unheard of. It is no wonder these systems are becoming so very popular all over the world.
