How do you pivot to create and deploy the most effective system possible? How do you make it so everyone has easy access to the collaboration and communication tools they need?
Getting off the ground doesn’t have to be inordinately complex or expensive. In most cases, upgrading your existing communications system is all that's required. Concerning telephony, if you’re still using a landline you should consider switching to the cloud. Finding the right partner for this transition can make your communications system more efficient and resilient while reducing telephony costs. What should you look for? Here’s a list of what you need to know and why Vodia is your best choice when you move to the cloud.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Firstly, let’s take a look at Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which enables communication over the Internet. VoIP allows you to make voice calls via high-speed Internet, as opposed to an analog or “regular” phone line (you’re already using VoIP if you make WiFi calls from your smartphone).
When you make a VoIP call, your voice is converted into a digital signal to be sent over the Internet; if you call a landline, the signal is converted into a regular telephone signal so the recipient of your call can connect with you. VoIP calls can be made from any IP endpoint, including computers, IP desk phones and mobile devices. VoIP calls are made via the cloud, which is where you need to be to enable work from home and other types of dispersed or hybrid work environments. Cloud telephony is less expensive than analog phone lines, more robust and more secure, improving communications while saving money.
The Vodia Cloud Phone System makes IP phones, laptops, mobile phones, PCs and tablets into endpoints perfectly suited for the communication needs of any SMB or enterprise. Our system is OS agnostic, so you can use any OS, including Android, iOS, Linux, MAC and/or Windows.

Your partner should understand your needs and your goals and should be able to help you install and maintain a cloud telephony solution that saves time and money while helping your business grow, whether your team is onsite or working from home.
