CADOLZBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Current research proves the trend: Companies place great emphasis on VoIP solutions. In this respect, it is not only a matter of attaining cost advantages. First and foremost, the consolidation of speech and data (speech-/data convergence) is of the greatest importance. If speech and data are administrated via a shared network, new possibilities regarding communications open up. HOB GmbH & Co. KG offers an innovative solution for this with its HOBPhone, part of the new remote access solution
VoIP and Convergence of Speech and Data: Companies Jump on the Bandwagon
Companies increasingly recognize the advantages of convergent speech- and data networks and voice over IP (VoIP) solutions. In the steadily increasing global competition, only those companies that have optimized processes in place can win.
If speech and data are used via the same network, a company’s telephone system can be switched to VoIP. This results in a considerable cost reduction. Moreover, many communicational functions become useful, efficient or even possible only through speech- and data convergence – the integration of tele-workstations or intelligent call management, for example. Current research assumes that more than 60% of large enterprises have already switched to a VoIP telephone system – and the trend is rising.
New Functions Optimize Company Processes
First of all, one connects VoIP with tremendously lower phone costs, in particular for international calls. This expectation is completely true, but a well-designed VoIP solution can accomplish far more than just decreasing costs for phone calls. With VoIP, phone calls can be made from absolutely any location, and always with the same company number. This is a great advantage, e.g., for the integration of (company-owned) call centers or employees with a home office, regardless of whether they are domestically located or abroad. In addition, administrative work is correspondingly reduced – installation, configuration and maintenance can be done centrally. This saves additional costs and effort: The responsible IT person may use his time more efficiently.
