7 Advantages and Disadvantages of VoIP

7 Advantages and Disadvantages of VoIP

hosted voice Bethesda

VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, has several advantages for a business seeking to lower expenses and improve call quality. Every technology has its own limits, though. Here are some of the benefits and drawbacks of VoIP:

Advantages of VoIP

Remote Work Savings

VoIP allows workers to work from anywhere by connecting them to the company’s phone system. It also includes additional mobile features that traditional phones do not have, such as auto-attendant, call waiting, group calling, and real-time video conferencing.

Reduced Cost

Businesses can save a lot of money by switching to VoIP technologies. By more than 50% in certain cases, adopting VoIP systems can help you save on your phone bills. The cost savings will differ based on the VoIP service you select and your company’s needs.

PBX Cost

A PBX, or private branch exchange, is a costly on-site, physical hardware that connects traditional landlines inside a company. VoIP phone systems assist with the elimination of excess equipment by utilizing a high-speed connection.

Scalability

VoIP may be used to host high-quality, large-scale conference calls. Users can be added or removed as needed. VoIP is a wonderful tool for startup companies wanting to find a phone system that will help them grow.

Disadvantages of VoIP

Latency

Latency can cause issues when making calls over a VoIP phone system. When there’s a poor internet connection with limited bandwidth, latency difficulties occur. A VoIP router requires a specific VoIP router that has been created especially for this purpose in order to operate effectively and give voice traffic precedence above data.

Relies on Internet Access

A dependable internet connection with adequate bandwidth is required. Poor internet connectivity can have a negative influence on the quality of calls and the total VoIP service. Furthermore, your company’s bandwidth needs will be determined by the number of simultaneous calls.

Security Issues

VoIP has its own set of security issues, including phishing, identity and service theft, spam, and viruses and malware. However, by utilizing IP technologies such as encryption and enhanced identification management, you can protect your VoIP conversations.

5 Things to Know Before Choosing a Telecom Provider

5 Things to Know Before Choosing a Telecom Provider

5 Things to Know Before Choosing a Telecom Provider

Searching for the right service provider can be time consuming, confusing, and costly. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be. 

While there are many companies that seem to offer similar services, it’s important to do a little research and find the one that is the best for your business. Here are five things you should consider before making your final decision.

Services

Every business runs a little differently from the next. That means each one will require different solutions to their unique circumstances. When you’re searching for a provider, it’s important that you detail exactly what your company needs and see what the provider is offering. Some of the best service providers will work with you and create a tailored approach to suit your needs.

Customer Support

Another aspect you should note is the provider’s customer service. The customer service and support team should be friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They should actively try to mitigate any issues, not make things more confusing. 

Experience

Before making a definitive choice, you should always check the service provider’s history and experience. Has the provider worked with other companies like yours? Do they offer services that align with your businesses’ current and future goals? With a few poignant questions, you’ll be able to determine if the provider is a right fit for your business.

Security

With today’s cloud based systems, security is more important than ever. You need to have peace of mind knowing that the provider will keep your sensitive information and networks safe. Check to see what the provider offers in terms of preventative security as well. 

Reliability

Along with experience, having a reliable provider is very important. Your choice in provider is one of the major factors determining if your business communications will run smoothly or not. Likewise with how quickly emergencies issues can be handled. You should trust your provider so that you can focus on growing your business.

At Envoi, we offer superior levels of expertise to organizations in the field of communications and other tactical services. Contact us today and learn more about what we offer.

Your Business Needs Unified Communications

Your Business Needs Unified Communications

Take Advantage of the Benefits of Unified Communications

In today’s spread out working climate, team communication is essential for businesses to run smoothly and meet the bottom line.

Now that many companies are opting to work remotely, staff are no longer tied to a desk phone line. Instead more and more people are working on-the-go and are creating opportunities across the country and the world. Without the right technology and communication services, daily business and new ventures might be hindered. 

Unified Communications (UC, or also commonly referred to as UCaaS – Unified Communications as a Service) brings together video and voice calls, messaging, file sharing, and more.

With so many digital platforms to choose from, it can get confusing and costly if you aren’t careful. Unified Communications keeps it simple, making sure employees and clients can collaborate seamlessly. 

Productivity
UC platforms allow staff to get in touch with each other almost instantly where they can collaborate on projects quickly. Since many platforms also offer smart phone apps, meetings and discussions can happen anywhere and anytime. 

Cost
Unified Communications is a cost-effective option and can save companies a substantial amount money. Using the Internet to make calls to someone in another country is a fraction of the price, if not completely free.

Performance & Retention
Unified Communications allows businesses more flexibility and in turn, helps to make your staff’s lives a little easier. Quick communication and streamlined file sharing for projects aren’t just beneficial for productivity, they also help to reduce the turnover rate.

If you’re interested in better communication tools, reach out to the experienced consultants at Envoi to assist you and we can show you the best options for your company.

It’s Time Your Business Should Switch to VoIP

The global pandemic may have made it difficult for your business to communicate with your staff and clients, but there are options to maintain your productivity and efficiency.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the new standard for business calls in the workforce today. As a cloud-based system, VoIP offers many benefits including flexibility and security, and reduced costs.

Flexibility
In today’s world, almost everyone uses some kind of smartphone. A cloud phone system, like VoIP, makes it easy for your staff to switch between using their computers, desk phones, smartphones, or tablets while taking business calls. It’s convenient and helps facilitate better productivity throughout the day, especially with more and more staff working from home. With VoIP it’s like everyone is in the room together.

Security
Today’s Internet use requires businesses to stay up to date with security measures. Cloud-based systems also take security seriously, and help to protect your business information. With these cybersecurity capabilities, you can rest assured that your sensitive information is safe. 

Cost
A VoIP system can help your business save money as well. Adding new users to the phone system is easy and inexpensive, and doesn’t require the IT support and maintenance associated with traditional phones.
