Security has always been the top concern of businesses in regards to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and cloud technologies. Threats against cloud-based VoIP phone systems like vishing, Denial of Service (DoS), eavesdropping, and more are all potential security issues that businesses should be aware of. But businesses can implement a number of security steps in order to protect themselves against any problems.
Cloud-based voice communications have evolved from a potentially promising concept to an absolutely crucial system in today’s business environment. Due to the proven cost savings, improved scalability, and increased flexibility these systems bring to organizations, many enterprises have converted their communication systems to a cloud-based solution. But not all have made the transition, which puts their business at a huge competitive disadvantage in the market.
Unified Communications (UC) solutions have never been more popular than they currently are in today's voice space. As more organizations begin to seek a simpler, more seamless communications experience, it makes good business sense that they would embrace a tool that combines all forms of business communications into a single, unified solution. And when it comes to UC solutions, BroadSoft ensures that they deliver an all-inclusive solution that meets the needs of today's businesses.
When a product or service is marketed as "free", oftentimes there is a catch involved. But OnSIP, a real-time communications (RTC) provider, is working on debunking that notion. A trusted provider of business communication solutions, OnSIP lets organizations move their calling and other communication needs to the web -- all at no cost! How? Through their new Free Plan. Launched in September of 2016, OnSIP’s Free Plan is a 100% web-based voice, video, and messaging solution for teams.
The voice communications space has undergone immense growth and evolution over the past years. With the rising popularity of cloud technologies, today’s voice communications systems have moved past the limits of traditional phone lines and enabled businesses to become more connected than ever. This year, the industry is expected to grow and evolve even further as voice communication leaders continue to innovate through unique technologies and solutions.
When it comes to business communication tools and technologies, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution that works for all types of businesses in all industries. While some organizations prefer a simple plug-and-play solution, others may require a more customized, consultative approach to ensure that their communications system matches their needs.
To say that business communications have changed significantly over the past number of years is an understatement. New technologies, from Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to Unified Communications (UC) solutions, are permeating workplaces around the globe, and are therefore changing not only how businesses communicate but also how they operate.
In many of today's offices and businesses, the rooms that once housed bundles of copper wires, cables, servers, and other telephony hardware are slowly disappearing. With the popularity of hosted PBX (Private Branch Exchange) solutions, companies now realize that it is possible to have a sophisticated telephone system without investing in costly or bulky equipment.
Leading cloud networking provider GTT communications has agreed to acquire submarine cable provider Hibernia Networks for $590 million in cash and stock.
Under the terms of the agreement, $515 million will be paid by GTT in cash, and about 3.3 million shares of GTT common stock, which is valued at $75 million, will be issued to the sellers at closing. The deal, expected to close by the end of first quarter of 2017, is set to scale GTT’s IP network and customer reach.
In line with its mission to rid the world of desk phones, San Francisco-based cloud communications solutions provider Dialpad recently inked an alliance with SoftBank Corp. to bring Dialpad’s pure-cloud business communications solution to Japan.
The deal enables Softbank, a multinational Japanese telecommunications and Internet corporation, to offer Dialpad to its customers. It also makes Dialpad the first pure cloud communications provider to enter into the Japanese market, which is one of the largest economies and technology markets in the world.
Next to service provider consolidation, one of the biggest trends that emerged in the cloud communications space in 2016 is the growing focus on team collaboration. As today’s modern workforce become increasingly mobile, often working across regions, time zones, and devices, communicating and collaborating in real time has become a challenge.
Despite the popularity of new communication tools in today's industries, phones remain the nucleus of many businesses. They’re the easiest, most convenient, and most accessible way of communicating and collaborating with clients, customers, and colleagues. So it's easy to imagine the frustration when you find out that your phone service has suddenly been disconnected due to a natural disaster, network outage, or other unforeseeable circumstances. Fortunately, there are ways to minimize the risk of downtime and make sure you can protect yourself from losing connectivity again.
