VoIP, short form for Voice Over Internet Protocol, is a commonly used service in businesses across nearly every industry. 

A common misconception of this service is that it is a phone system only suitable for businesses on a bigger scale. However, the fact is that this is a wrong concept. VoIP has a lot of features that small business owners can leverage!

One of the most significant aspects of VoIP is that instead of a regular or analog phone line, VoIP allows callers to make and receive calls using a broadband or dedicated internet connection. This technology converts sound into digital packets and transfers it through the internet, similar to other types of data like the email.

Because of it’s digital nature, a VoIP phone system can be set up in any way that you can imagine it. If you can dream it up, we can set it up! 

So despite the most obvious reason, why do small businesses need to get set up with VoIP? Here are four reasons why:

1. Security 

VoIP is much more secure when compared to the traditional phone connection. Having standardized encryption protocols, this modern phone system keeps your calls and data away from those who would want to intercept them. This is nearly impossible in traditional phone connections.

 2. Portability

As long as there is an internet access, your VoIP phone system will work, regardless of their geological location. The most interesting part of VoIP is that it allows you to make and receive calls from multiple devices. For example, you can receive calls on your smartphone, your desktop phone, and in software on your desktop or laptop simultaneously. This ensures more frequent and efficient customer engagement with your business since your customer can reach a business at any time.

3. Cost-Effective

The OPEX (Operating Costs) for VoIP are remarkably lower than the traditional phone companies. Here are specific instances where your organization can save money through VoIP:

• Voice over Internet Portal remarkably cuts down direct costs local and global calls. 
• An organization doesn’t necessarily need to maintain separate networks for data and phones.
• VoIP allows to a user take office extension phone anywhere they go using a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, thus reducing the company’s mobile phone costs. 

4. Clear and Outstanding Call Quality

VoIP, as an emerging technology, has expanded in a way that the caller can not tell whether you’re using VoIP or a traditional landline. Today’s VoIP phone service has even surpassed traditional landline in terms of call quality.
