Business VoIP
-
Face-to-face meetings have always been the preferred communication method for businesses. Activities such as negotiating important deals, collaborating with colleagues, and meeting with staff are usually done in person because it’s productive, efficient, and easier to determine body language. But as companies slash costs for travel, and now that teams are spread across different locations, holding face-to-face meetings have become increasingly challenging.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) finds itself in yet another patent infringement lawsuit--this time from Bellevue-based company VoIP-Pal.com Inc.
At first glance, call recording may not seem to be one of the more important or exciting VoIP phone features, especially when you compare it to other features like Find Me/Follow Me, mobile apps, etc. Call recording certainly seems to pale in comparison.
But in reality, this feature is so much more than just a copy of a phone conversation and listening to it. When used efficiently, call recording can be a powerful tool that can help you gain significant insight about your customers and your organization. Here are a few unseen benefits of call recording for businesses:
Introducing new tools and technology into your company can increase sales, improve productivity, and help you become more organized. But getting every employee to adopt new technologies can sometimes be a challenge. Some people embrace it with enthusiasm; while others approach it with reluctance. This is especially true if you’ve used a traditional, copper-based landline phone system for years, and are now planning to invest (or have invested) in a VoIP solution.
Following months of speculation, Mitel finally announced its intention to acquire collaboration and communication technology provider Polycom on April 15. The deal (which has been talked about in the telecommunications space since October 2015) is valued at approximately $1.96 billi
Transitioning to a VoIP business phone system from a traditional landline can be an exciting yet daunting prospect for businesses. There’s the thrill of using a new technology that promises to make business operations smoother and more efficient; at the same time, there’s also the risk of implementation, especially when a business neglects to set down the right tracks for VoIP.
One of the best things about a business VoIP system is that you get more for less--more robust and innovative phone features for a lower cost than a traditional phone system. These features enhance the user experience without burning a hole in one’s pocket.
However, the problem with having so many new (and easily-available features) at one’s disposal is that it can be easy to overlook some features and end up not using them to their full potential (or even use them at all).
It’s normal to experience some stress in the workplace. But whether the cause of stress is trivial (such as dysfunctional copy machines) or a much bigger one (such as conflict with customers or co-workers), it’s a fact that stress can significantly affect an employee’s morale and productivity. And everyone knows that unhappy and unproductive employees also translate to an unimpressive bottom line for companies.
For many businesses, going green is not only an option, but a necessity. Aside from contributing towards a more sustainable environment, incorporating Earth-friendly practices also lets businesses enjoy cost savings, increase staff productivity, and build better relationships with clients and communities.
Every once in awhile, a new technology comes along to change the way we do business. One such technology that has changed the world of business communication(and continues to do so) is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Even with the advent of email and instant messaging, phone systems continue to play a major role in business communications. Telephone communication is personal and immediate, and not as prone to misinterpretation when compared to text-based communication methods. This is why it’s important to get the right phone system for your business that allows you to effectively communicate with your customers.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology has come a long way from its inception. Initially considered as merely an experiment, VoIP has evolved to become one of the most powerful and preferred communication solutions in the business world. And the good thing is, VoIP is expected to experience immense growth fuelled by a number of emerging trends.
In this article, let’s take a look at three VoIP trends that will shape the industry and will have the potential to help your business stay ahead of the curve.
