Introduction to VoIP

While these days we’re pretty much used to the idea of being able to speak to anyone in the world, no matter how remote, by picking up a phone and pressing a button, Voice Over IP (VoIP) is radically transforming communications. At NextGEN IT Solutions, we use the latest VoIP technology to enable clients to transform their communications, literally changing the way they do business. VoIP changes the way we communicate by taking an audible signal, represented by variations of air pressure over time, and translating it into a series of digital data packets that, once converted back, will sound virtually identical to the original signal.

The Core of VoIP: Efficient and Cost-Effective Communication

The main benefit of VoIP is that it uses IP networks instead of the physical elements of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) to deliver voice communications. Traditional telephony transmission is a service provided by the telephone companies that requires bulky, expensive infrastructure equipment – building after building full of machinery and cabling to help complete the process. VoIP can do much of the same job while getting rid of most of the telephony company’s infrastructure. Without all the extra equipment and upkeep, telephony is cheaper and easier to manage. When you add to this the ability to schedule and la carte pricing models and lower maintenance costs, VoIP has become the way the majority of modern firms source their telephone needs.

NextGEN IT Solutions ‘Cost savings’ is important to all our clients’ businesses, and VoIP with NextGEN will reduce the expense of maintaining phone lines and phone system maintenance issues.By offering customised VoIP solutions, our ‘businesses’ can manage overhead costs, redirecting those resources to other more important areas in operating their businesses.

Scalability and Flexibility: Meeting Dynamic Business Needs

The ability of VoIP systems to scale up or down at a fraction of the cost of traditional phone systems is yet another excellent feature. This capability enables businesses whose call volumes are trending up or fluctuating to scale their traditional phone system at a major disadvantage. Many VoIP systems also offer call forwarding, voicemail to email, and video conferencing, which facilitate collaboration and productivity.

If you have a business and allow people to work from home or take their work on the road, VoIP addresses the issue of mobility. It lets you or your employees make and receive calls almost anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection, taking your business away from a brick-and-mortar location. You can continue to run your business even if you travel or move from one city to another.

The Evolution of VoIP: From Humble Beginnings to Modern Marvel

VoIP first appeared as a glimmer behind a one-way mirror back around the mid-1990s, developed from a quirky, one-off novelty into a widely available mainstream communications solution. In its early days, VoIP business models were weak, call quality was described as ‘patchy’ or ‘dubious’ by early adopters, and the very idea of using a PC as a phone lacked appeal – but with the advent of broadband internet, VoIP began to experience performance increases and reliability boosts that also coincided with the advent of abhorrent dial-up modem sounds that would have terrified the H ALFS. It was the development of some prominent software companies that would begin to take VoIP mainstream, mostly for personal use or in small businesses. Obviously, Skype and the eponymous brand Vonage spring to mind.

Now with the introduction of better codec technology and with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) being adopted, latencies keep getting lower, voice quality keeps improving, and more of the personal communication devices that we favour on a daily basis (eg, both landline and cell phones, our internet connections, messaging apps, etc) are being converted to software that can easily interoperate with VoIP. VoIP is now an essential tool of business communication because it’s more efficient, cheaper and more versatile.

Key Features of VoIP: Enhancing Business Efficiency

VoIP systems are driven by advanced features designed to breathe ease into business communications. At NextGEN IT Solutions we help our clients embrace and take advantage of these complexities at the most elemental level, such as:

  • Call Forwarding: Programmed your phone to forward calls to different devices so you can get them wherever you are. This is useful if you’re ever working remotely.
  • Voicemail to Email: All your voicemails are converted to text and forwarded to your inbox as emails, so you’ll never again have to miss an important call, or waste time manually checking your messages.
  • Video Conferencing: With a growing number of employees working remotely, video conferencing enables human contact. VoIP systems support high-definition (HD) video calls, allowing for better collaboration.
  • Mobile apps: VOIP functionality that can be installed on mobile phone devices is perfect for the travelling executive who wants to be reachable at all times.
  • Software Integration: A VOIP system can be integrated with other business software, like the CRM system, project management solutions and so on. This integration makes workflows smoother, speeds up decision cycles, and ultimately increases productivity.
