Often times VOIP can be installed in the existing IT data network system. The use of a single network to carry both voice and data information can greatly reduce the setup cost of infrastructure while providing an enterprise with higher level of services at a lower cost, including international phone calls. These hardware infrastructure elements can be commodity hardware that uses standard PC or Linux OS with a intuitive interface that enables the enterprise itself to tailor the <a title=\"VoIP Chicago\" href=\"http:\/\/convergedsystems.com\/voip_chicago.html\" target=\"_blank\">VOIP services <\/a>to its exact needs.<\/p>\n<p>A wide range of newer devices are built to use VOIP.\u00a0 This includes smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices that are dedicated as phones, as well as cellphones themselves.\u00a0 Any device that says it is 3G or wi-fi enabled may run programing to make it VOIP ready. The merging technologies mean that more businesses can move to mobile devices to handle a wide range of tasks, including phone calls and SMS even when the devices are not phones.<\/p>\n<p>VOIP is efficient with bandwidth and provides<a title=\"VoIP Services and Solutions\" href=\"http:\/\/convergedsystems.com\/voip_services.html\" target=\"_blank\"> low cost services<\/a>. These include phone calls, faxes, voice mail, e-mail, Web conferences and more from any unit that can dial into the VOIP network. Connections between VOIP and surrounding wi-fi is often so seamless that users do not notice the transition from on to the other.\u00a0 This mean that businesses with VOIP are truly mobile and not limited to using a desk phone inside and a cellphone outside. Instead a single device, like a tablet or smart phone, can function as a mobile office or work inside the standard office, so that the worker never needs to worry about which item their current work is on.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F229&#038;t=How%20Enterprises%20Can%20Benefit%20from%20VoIP&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F229&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=How%20Enterprises%20Can%20Benefit%20from%20VoIP\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F229&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F229&#038;title=How%20Enterprises%20Can%20Benefit%20from%20VoIP\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wonder if your enterprise can benefit from VOIP?\u00a0 The use of voice over the internet has several major advantages over traditional copper-wire phone systems.
