Vancouver VoIP Providers Offer Their Clients Both Savings And Better Service

By Diane Allen


Modern technology, increased consumer awareness, official regulations and an increasingly accessible international market has made it very challenging for businesses to compete effectively. Only the tough and those that are willing to respond to the needs of their target markets can hope to thrive. In the modern business environment, response time is critical and therefore highly efficient communication systems are of vital importance. Vancouver VoIP providers say that they have the answer.

Internet based communications have in fact been around for quite a few years. Initially it did not really take off. This was largely due to the fact that the internet was then still in its infancy. Access was not available everywhere and connections were not always fast or reliable enough. This has changed. Internet access is not available everywhere, even in remote parts of the world. Consequently, the popularity of these systems has rocketed.

There can be absolutely no doubt that internet based systems offer huge savings on telephone bills. Many new users say that they have saved more than half the cost of their monthly bills. In the cases of bigger companies this can translate into very significant amounts of money. In fact, many new clients are initially attracted solely by the promise of such huge cost reductions.

Then there is the fact that older switchboard systems required hardware installation at every site and branch. This required a large capital outlay, a permanent operator at every installation and constant maintenance. Internet based systems, on the other hand, are only installed once, centrally and the software is hosted by the service provider. This not only save a lot of money, but it also negates the need for constant maintenance.

Older switchboard systems severely limited the ability of users to be mobile. If people left their desks, they were unable to communicate and callers had no option but to leave a message. In this way many urgent matters never got the attention it needed. Internet systems, on the other hand, have set users free. They can use the system anywhere, even in extremely remote locations. They are never out of touch.

Not only can users communicate from anywhere, but they can also use any device that is capable of accessing the internet. They are not limited to the use of a single device either. All the account information of every user is stored in the cloud. This means that the information and records are available to users wherever they are and regardless of the device they are using at the time.

Internet systems also stand out due to the many features they offer. Old hat features like voice mail, call holding and call forwarding are all still there, but then there is much, much more. Users of internet systems can organize video conferences, they can convert emails into faxes and vice versa and they can even send electronic files to other users. These and many other innovative features enhance productivity and efficiency.

Some communications experts have stated that they view internet based systems as the future of all communications. The ever increasing popularity of these systems seems to underwrite those opinions. Users save a lot of money and at the same time they enjoy superior communication efficiency.
