How a VoIP phone system can provide business flexibility

If you run any kind of business that involves members of staff working in the field then VoIP phone systems are essential. It may be you have a fleet of sales executives at all ends of the country or some employees who simply work remotely for your organization.

Whatever the case for your business, the staff in question need a flexible yet reliable way to stay in touch. VoIP phone systems provide just this type of powerful freedom compared to traditional business phone systems.

But just how can a hosted VoIP set-up make your business more agile?

The ability to be in contact wherever staff are

In the old days, field staff getting in touch could be problematic. They would either have to find a phone where they were to use (if there was one!) or actually have to make physical trips into the office to touch base. With a VoIP phone system, this is eliminated. Instead, staff can stay connected on the move via their smartphones or make calls from any desktop device.

Frees people from their desks

It is not only staff whose main role it is to travel that benefit from a VoIP system. Office based staff are also freed from being shackled to their desk with this kind of set-up. This allows them to have more freedom to make ad-hoc work trips that could benefit your business while still being able to stay on top of what is happening. It also means that if they need to work remotely from home one day, the technology is in place to make this perfectly possible.

Extra features to make business plain sailing

When you install a hosted VoIP phone system, you get lots of powerful extra features that give great business value. Functions like the chance to send a virtual fax or go direct from voicemail to email are very useful. They mean that staff can perform vital business tasks, wherever they may be.
