Upgrading to IP-Enabled Voice Is Smart, Essential and Easier than Ever

Modern BusinessIf you had to give up your smartphone and go back to using a simple landline, could you? There was likely a time when you took that first step forward with a bold new technology and picked up a mobile device to use in addition to your desk phone.

Smartphones were new and much more complicated, had a steep learning curve, and cost far more than a landline, but they offered incredible new capabilities that ultimately won out over traditional services. Now everybody has one and, once again, your customers stand on the precipice of a similar change with the shift to IP-based telephony.

Enterprise organization leaders have been on this journey for some time already, using their vast network infrastructures to subsume communications services. For smaller businesses, however, the options are a bit less obvious since they must bridge their existing analog or private branch exchange (PBX) systems and swap them out for SIP solutions.
