The Many Savings From Switching to VoIP

VoIP benefits

Experts predict that within the next 10 years, all communications will be IP-based. With this in mind, investing in VoIP is a practical route to take for any business that wants to incorporate new, flexible technologies into their long-term plans.

The benefits of making the switch to VoIP are many. Saving money is easy with VoIP technology. Because communication runs through the internet, you can avoid long-distance charges. Remote workers can also work freely without additional fees.

Because of the unique way in which VoIP is designed, it presents an upgrade over previous communication technologies. All calls through the VoIP server are placed directly between the two users, eliminating congestion for the server. This also allows calls to one location to be transferred seamlessly to another for a remote employee, someone visiting another business, or simply transferring a call.

Money is also saved on the infrastructure. With only one set of lines and one network to manage, maintenance costs and monthly charges are reduced significantly. Because the network can be run from one central location, the system can be modified from any location if necessity demands.

With the flexibility for growth and the significant savings VoIP presents, it’s no wonder so many businesses are choosing to switch to the new technology. Is making the transition right for your business? Contact QCCUSA to learn more about how VoIP technology can save your business money today.

Eliminate Limitations with QCC’s VoIP Technology

If you’re operating on twentieth century infrastructure, it’s time to upgrade. Even if your communications systems were installed in the last decade, the rapid rise of more robust and flexible telecom solutions has made copper analog and digital lines obsolete.

QCC’s VoIP technology brings your business into the future of telecommunications today. Voice over Internet Protocol technology transmits voice communications over your data network.

For growing businesses, VoIP allows you to expand without continually updating and replacing expensive infrastructure. As you grow, your VoIP grows with you, saving you money, time, and effort.

With Session Initiated Protocol, or SIP, you can maintain phone numbers as your business expands, without expensive routing fees that carriers typically charge. By eliminating these fees, you can maximize your business costs.

Traditional Telephony vs. SIP Trunking

SIP Trunking from QCCUSA.comTraditional telephony packages require bundling for different services. It may even require different providers for all of the various services you need. While traditional telephony can be useful, it’s quickly being replaced by 21st century technologies and services that take unified communications to the next level.

To truly unify your voice and data services, QCC recommends SIP Trunking. SIP Trunking is becoming incredibly popular with a wide range of businesses. Using Voice over Internet Protocol technology and streaming media services based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), we can deliver data and telephone communications to your business in one package that includes everything you need.

Eliminate the cost of two separate infrastructures for voice and data, while saving money by integrating your communications. SIP Trunking allows you to obtain voice, video, e-mail, messaging, mobility, directory services and more in one affordable package. If a primary server stops working, your power goes out, or there’s a fire, SIP Trunking can connect to a second site easily so you can stay in business. This disaster recovery element makes SIP Trunking a stable and viable choice for any business that relies on constant communication.

When it’s time for your business to grow, SIP Trunking services grow more easily than traditional telephony, too. Because your systems are completely integrated, you only have to upgrade one system instead of many.

traditional telephony and data services, SIP Trunking can save your business up to 50% on communication costs! SIP Trunking is changing the way Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania businesses communicate. Join the VoIP revolution and upgrade your business to SIP Trunking today!

Hosted Phone Systems for Small Business in Maryland, Virginia, D.C., and More

Hosted Phone Systems from QCCUSA

If you’re thinking of upgrading to hosted phone systems but are unsure about the specifics or performance, let us take a few moments to clear up some misconceptions about hosted telephone systems:

Internet based phone calls are just as high definition as many landlines, and in fact, are often more clear than other phone services. Phone equipment designed for business is more robust than any consumer products. Using your cell phones as a cheaper alternative to hosted phone systems gives your business the impression of being a small-time operation. Hosted phone systems can link calls to personal mobile phones and remote office locations.

It’s also important to consider that if your power goes out, you won’t lose your phone service. Because the hosted phone system is located in the cloud, problems in your local area are avoided and often, callers won’t even know you’re having difficulties onsite.

Hosted phone systems are cheaper, more flexible, and more robust than traditional phone systems. If you wait for a problem with your existing system to occur, it may be too late. Falling behind the current technology is not an option when you’re trying to grow your business. Hosted phone systems keep you ahead of the competition.

Onsite Private Branch Exchange vs. Hosted PBX

QCC Hosted PBX vs. Onsite PBXWhen you’re looking to save costs on business telephone solutions, one of the first options is to implement a private branch exchange or PBX. This reduces the number of phone lines necessary for the entire office, while still allowing each phone user to make local calls across the system.

The question is whether a business owner should choose an onsite phone system or a hosted PBX. What is the best PBX solution for your business? These tips will help you decide:
Install: Hosted PBX comes with a smaller price tag and is much less dependent on you, but installing your own system (or watching it installed by professionals) does have its advantages. You’ll know much more about what your system can do if you have a better knowledge of it yourself, but you’ll also likely have to wait longer for an operational PBX and it will cost you more initially.

Expansion: While both PBX options leave room for growth, onsite PBX gives you much more control over your system. Hosted PBX systems give your service provider all the work, but you also give up control and the ability to make quick changes.

Cost: A hosted PBX solution will cost less initially, but the service provider costs over time may make on-site PBX options better for some businesses. Hosted systems also have no maintenance costs to consider, but though an onsite PBX may be more expensive up front, your fees will never increase.

It’s important to remember that each business has its own needs and PBX requirements. If you’d like to discuss your business telephone solutions with the experts, contact QCCUSA.com today.

Cloud Based Phone System vs. Traditional Business Telephone Solutions

QCC Business Telephone Solutions and Cloud Based Telephone SystemsTraditional business telephone solutions retain their popularity because they’re both familiar and reliable. Recent technological advances have produced new ways of communicating that aid businesses needing 21st century speed and sensibilities.

Very small businesses can continue to use traditional phone systems effectively and without hindrance to their objectives.
