Crisis leads to VoIP surge in 2009
When faced with crisis, companies have to cut costs and delay investments. Cutting costs, leads to a slowdown in the economy, further stimulating a possible crisis. It’s safe to say 2009 will be a crisis year, this means companies going bankrupt and even more companies cutting costs, as such cutting profits in other businesses. So what does 2009 has in store for the VoIP market?
According to Don Witt at TMC, 2009 may turn out to be an excellent year for VoIP related businesses. As companies start cutting costs, they inevitably end up looking at their phone bill. As we all know VoIP is an excellent way of saving on your phone bill. This may be as easy as installing Skype on some of the office PC’s or, instead of delaying the investment in a VoIP phone system, actually speeding it up.
By replacing your phone system with a VoIP system, you automatically enable your entire office to benefit from the cost savings of VoIP. Additionally you get to enjoy increased productivity from integration with your software apps, to fax- and voicemail-to-email. So, instead of delaying your VoIP investments in 2009, executing them now may actually help you through the crisis faster.
