You may already know that Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is an amazingly flexible way for an enterprise to combine its voice and data communications into a single technology, allowing a whole new range of options for talking via computer, forwarding voicemails to your email, multi-line videoconferencing and all sorts of other possibilities. But if you've always thought that your business was too small to benefit from VoIP, think again! VoIP can make good sense for small businesses – and hosted VoIP can be an even smarter decision.

Why would a small business want to switch to VoIP? For starters, it can vastly increase your productivity by making your phone system much more flexible and powerful. You can have incoming calls ring through to multiple phones, take calls on your business line from wherever you and your computer/smartphone may be, et cetera. Better yet, you'll slash your phone costs by eliminating the old-fashioned landline service. If you need to move or add a phone, it's as simple and affordable as plugging it into the appropriate jack.

Hosted VoIP can reduce your operating costs even more. When your Austin managed IT services provider helps you find the correct hosted VoIP provider for you, you're spared the need to buy a pricey PBX box and manage the thing at your site. Gravity Systems can manage your VoIP while continuing to provide for all your other Austin IT support needs. We'll also make sure the network your VoIP runs on is up-to-date and secure. If you experience a technical issue, our professionals can address it ASAP.  Note that just buying a hosted VoIP service plan is only part of the equation; you need to have a plan in place for the data side as well, as phone calls will now traverse the Internet in some manner. 

 Integrated voice and data isn't just for the big guys – hosted VoIP makes it easy for businesses of any size to enjoy the many important benefits offered by this technology. Ask our Gravity Systems team how you can get started with hosted VoIP!
