Managed VoIP Service: Making a Business Into Global Success
by Kristen Kiya
There are businesses which operate on a smaller scale and there are also businesses which operate globally by being present in all major commercial centres of the world. These businesses which are already success stories feature certain characteristics which make them different from other businesses around. One of them is the large base of loyal customers who believe in the worth of the products and services that are being offered and also deem the company as being one of the best in providing complete satisfaction in terms of product as well as service usage.
Managed VoIP services are constructed for businesses with the above said success history and are aimed at those businesses which are yet to take advantage of the features of the VoIP technology. This can be termed as a sort of customised VoIP service which is targeted for a particular business and hence comes quite useful in various sorts of ways.
Simply explained, a managed partitioning service is a technical solution in which the service provider gives a portion of the switch used to the customer. The possession of this facility enables the user to create his own set of VoIP services like PC to phone calls, calling cards and many other features. There is also an added feature in the sense that all the training and initial configuration is done by the provider and the customer need not worry about the technical details.
Hence it is clear that this type of services are provided for mainly the task of effective customer handling in the sense that of managing them in an efficient manner. The business thus increases as a result of this service which creates an effective management system without the need for any additional investment and hence is quite economical as well as useful. The features of this new concept become responsible for the flourishing of any business. For example features such as managed switch partitioning and also managed network partitioning increase the chances of reaping in higher level of profits which otherwise would have taken considerable amount of initial capital investment and hence would not have been a lucrative venture.

Business VoIP: Business Getting A New Jewel
Business VoIP: Business Getting A New Jewel
by Kristen Kiya
The VoIP technology has been praised from the very beginning but the laurels it has got is far less than what it deserves. It is such a tremendous find that praising it for as long as a century would be insufficient. This might sound as an overstatement for some, but those who have been really benefited by the Business VoIP solutions would instantly agree. For a flourishing business, VoIP is a stepping stone without which the communication expenses would have hit hard.
VoIP is known for its cost-effectiveness. It has taken the burden of communication in the the huge organisations on its shoulders. The fact that it works on the signal reception strength makes the calls through VoIP come down to a ground level. The decrease in the call rates through VoIP is mammoth. Imagine the cost of an overseas call getting down to a level of an overseas Email!
Not only on the monetary grounds, VoIP technology has myriad other features that helped it establish a firm foothold. It has allowed us to imagine life without the frustratingly long cables and wires, the poor voice quality and the large number of intervening exchanges. VoIP has bid a farewell to all these annoying drawbacks of the traditional PBX.
The only inevitable factor for getting a VoIP connection is the Internet connection. As explained earlier, the calls through VoIP travel the way the Emails do. The only difference is that VoIP needs the speech signals to be converted to digital data before transferring them through the Internet protocol enabled network. The security and the cost remains equivalent to that of textual exchange of messages.
The industries which are balancing their existence entirely on communication are the biggest gainers. The VoIP business plans are made for organisations who have call centres wherein the callers from all over the globe are contacted for assisting them on matters related to a certain product. At such places, VoIP is like a life guard saving the entire business from the excruciating expenses of communication.
The business VoIP has enormous other usages such as call diversion, call waiting, call routing, 3-way calling, caller ID etc. Huge organisations where there are separate departments for different functions, find business VoIP service quite useful as it becomes easy for them to divert the calls to different departments with ease. One can get into a 3-way conversation as well when needed which was quite hard to get in conventional fixed line telephones.
Thus it wouldn't be wrong to say that communications have reached higher standards with the arrival of VoIP. Business opportunities are now even more lucrative and worth a try. The VoIP business is the most profitable one lately as more than half of the world is after it. Technology has gone extra miles by inventing VoIP for business. The business VoIP is one of the longest leaps of science as it has made 'staying in touch' a lot easier.

Getting Down to Business with VoIP
Getting Down to Business with VoIP
by Stefan D
Technological innovation is hurling itself upon us once again.This time it's coming in the form of improving the way we communicate, bringing with it new capabilities that change the meaning of the phrase telephone call. VoIP (often pronounced "voyp") is the name of this new communications technology.
VoIP, which stands for voice over Internet protocol, basically means voice transmitted over a digital network. Well, that isn't technically accurate because the Internet isn't strictly necessary for VoIP, although it was at first. What is necessary for VoIP technology is the use of the same protocols that the Internet uses. (A protocol is a set of rules used to allow orderly communi- cation.) Thus, voice over Internet protocol means voice that travels by way of the same protocols used on the Internet.
VoIP is often referred to as IP telephony (IPT) because it uses Internet protocols to make enhanced voice communications possible. The Internet protocols are the basis of IP networking, which supports corporate, private, public, cable, and even wireless networks. VoIP unites an organization's many locations -- including mobile workers -- into a single converged communica- tions network and provides a range of support services and features unequalled in the world of telephony.
Technically, IPT refers to telephone calls carried over the organization's local area network (LAN) such as a single building location, a campus-like network, or even a LAN within your home. When IPT crosses from the LAN to the WAN or any other external network, including other LANs operated by the same company at distant locations or the Internet, it becomes VoIP.
Before digital networking took off, everyone had to use the one and only POTS, which stands for plain old telephone service (honestly, it does). POTS runs over a network called the PSTN, or public switched telephone network. These POTS telephone systems use the tried-and-true method of telephone service known as circuit-switched. (See Chapter 2 for more about the history of POTS, the PSTN, and the operation of circuit-switched telephony.)
For customers, the costs related to the regulated circuit-switched PSTN remain much higher than they need to be. Consumers as well as companies that must rely on POTS on a daily basis know what the POTS way of tele- phony means to their bottom line. The good news is that VoIP is an alterna- tive that can greatly reduce or eliminate POTS-related costs. (Chapter 3 fully details the recurring charges of the POTS way of doing telephony.) VoIP also enhances productivity, leaving more money in the budget to do other things besides pay telephone bills.
VoIP technology enables traditional telephony services to operate over com- puter networks using packet-switched protocols. Packet-switched VoIP puts voice signals into packets, similar to an electronic envelope. Along with the voice signals, the VoIP packet includes both the caller's and the receiver's net- work addresses. VoIP packets can traverse any VoIP-compatible network. Because VoIP uses packets, much more information can be carried over the network to support and enhance your communication needs when compared to traditional telephony methods.
In a circuit-switched network such as POTS, routing is less dynamic than with a packet-switched network. In the POTS world, if a line is down, the call can't go through. In a packet-switched network, multiple routes can be established, and packets can travel any of the available routes. If one of the lines support- ing the network is down, the packet can switch to another working route to keep the call up.
With VoIP, voice signals can travel the same packet-switched network infra- structure that companies already use for their computer data. Chapter 7 goes into more detail about dedicated packet-switched networks that support VoIP.

The Impact of VoIP in Irish Businesses
The Impact of VoIP in Irish Businesses
by Jeff
Having a reliable phone service is crucial for the proper operation of most businesses, especially those that rely on such telecommunication services in order to generate sales or to provide a service to their customers; Irish businesses are not an exception to this rule.
Technology has changed the playing field in many industries and the same can be said about telecommunications every year more and more businesses rely on voice services to handle their in-house communications, long-distance calls, local calls, etc. given the fact that most businesses have several streams of communication Irish voice over IP companies have started to provide solutions for large companies and small businesses who would like to reroute a certain part of their communications through IP services.
The benefits of voice over IP and the new solution for Irish businesses is that they are able to reroute part of their communication through a voice over IP network, Irish companies do not have to choose between their current phone provider and this new technology because VOIP companies are able to provide a switch that a client can use in order to choose what type of communication they want to reroute.
With this system in place Irish businesses can choose to use voice over IP for their long distance calls, their in-house communications or their local calls, by being able to choose which calls are routed through the VOIP system small business owners are in full control of how communications are being managed, this is very helpful for Irish businesses because they are able to measure what type of calls are being more expensive so that they can reroute them through a cheaper system such as VOIP.
With Internet telephony services Irish businesses will not be sacrificing the quality of their communications because IP based services rely on high-speed Internet connections in order to make and receive calls and this type of system will not tie up the land lines because they do not require the use of traditional phone lines.
Being able to switch to reroute certain calls is sure to provide a huge benefit in terms of communication costs to Irish businesses which are always trying to cut unnecessary expenses and overhead in order to maximize their profits and reinvest their assets.
