Information and Communication Technology - VoIP

by Rosie Grace Brooks

VoIP communication and information technology are fast becoming a must in the corporate and business enterprises of today's market. The world and its industries are progressing, functioning and overpowering each other at break neck speed. Today's technology is so powerful that a human brain is unable to keep up with the incredible feats accomplished by different programmes available. If a person writes a letter in America to their spouse in China, the letter is received instantly via email. Twenty years ago, there would have been no option but to send by post, telegram, or pay a fortune and send it via a courier company. In the past, technology moved, but not at speed. One of the key elements in the spread of knowledge and practice concerning information and new findings is thanks to communication and the subsequent progression in that area of technology. Twenty years ago a telegram was incomprehensibly quick; a pioneer of science and the progression of the world's technological genius. A telegram used in today's business enterprise would lose a company its clients due to being slow.

For corporate and business enterprises, staying at the helm of new technology related to communication and information is paramount to their success. If two companies are competing in an aggressive market, it is obvious that the company to deliver solutions on a faster scale will be the more successful. Keeping ahead of the times in terms of current events, new methods and practices is also a fundamental part of the success behind a company. Communication technology allows this success to happen, by delivering the information quickly and in time for planning and reaction. The catch 22 which faces businesses and corporations however, is having to pay exorbitant rates and fees for premium technology. Emails, faxes, high speed internet connection, international phone calls, video conferencing and other aspects of communication in a modern company are needed without question, yet manage to build up quite a bill of expenses.

A Solution With Results
What is the solution for the choice between expenses or bad technology? Voice over internet protocol (abbreviated to VoIP) is technology which enables users to transmit information over a broadband internet connection. Basically put, VoIP allows users to call, email, fax, conference call and much more over a high speed internet connection. The best part? Since the lines used are internet connections, the rates payable are extremely reasonable. Due to the internet being as worldwide commodity, a call from New York to Hamburg will cost the same as a call from London to Manchester - because the calls are made using the high speed broadband connection, unlike telephone line to telephone line.

Companies and corporations using VoIP services and internet protocol telephony have the ability to keep up with current trends in information and communication technology and can also keep up to speed with competing companies. As aforementioned, every second counts in the corporate environment, especially concerning competing markets. VoIP allows companies to be ahead of their game, finding information, making communication and basically being able to run their business more efficiently and practically. Everyone knows the results of an efficient and competent company: happy staff and most importantly, happy clients.

A company looking to make a step forward from the rest of their competitors, or perhaps a company who feel they are not as up to standard as other companies in terms of their service and reliability would benefit immensely from using VoIP communication and information technology. The benefits are extraordinary and the prices are low, the perfect combination for any successful company and workforce.
