The US Chamber of Commerce is encouraging small and midsize businesses to adopt VoIP systems for better efficiency, lower costs, and improved accessibility. VoIP enables communication over the internet instead of traditional phone lines, giving SMBs access to advanced tools like call analytics, automation, and AI. With integrations across CRMs and business apps, VoIP enhances customer experience and productivity while remaining scalable and cost-effective. Vodia Networks builds on this foundation, offering a secure, feature-rich PBX.
The US Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization, recommends Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for SMBs. This past summer, the Chamber published an article listing the benefits of VoIP, including lower costs, operational efficiency, and accessibility.
According to the Chamber, “Many VoIP phone providers have invested in analytics, automation, and AI tools. These capabilities help leaders solve problems and get more value for their money. Moreover, sophisticated VoIP solutions automate workflows and analyze data across platforms, allowing organizations to coordinate activities involving help desk or CRM tools.”
What Is VoIP?
VoIP enables the transmission of voice via the internet, rather than over traditional, “copper” landlines. VoIP converts voice into packets of digital data so phone calls can be made using broadband connections. It has become a foundation for modern business communication.
VoIP can be used for both business and residential systems; users can communicate via voice from any connected device, including computers, smartphones, and tablets.
Why Should SMBs Deploy VoIP Systems?
According to the US Chamber of Commerce, SMBs choosing to deploy VoIP communication systems bring significant, accretive benefits to their companies, including:
Contact Center Functionality: VoIP gives SMBs call center functionality, including key features such as:
Mobile apps: With a VoIP system, an SMB’s employees can use whatever apps they wish and whatever devices they want - particularly helpful when your company has a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy - to make and receive business calls from anywhere, anytime.
Productivity: VoIP systems, particularly those that integrate with AI platforms, provide SMBs with call center features, including video conferencing and task management tools, while AI transcribes calls and automates routine operational tasks. This frees up employees to take on more important projects and interact with customers.
Scalability: With a VoIP phone system, an SMB can add or remove users - thanks to per seat licensing - from an online administrative portal.

Vodia attended CVxExpo 2025, one of the nation’s leading IT and telecom trade shows, to connect with industry leaders and explore the latest innovations in cloud communications and AI. Eric highlighted how this year’s event focused heavily on AI adoption and shared Vodia’s commitment to integrating intelligent call routing, real-time transcription, and 24/7 availability into the Vodia PBX. These enhancements aim to simplify business communications, boost collaboration, and elevate customer experiences for enterprises and service providers.
Microsoft Teams has become a cornerstone of modern business communication, empowering over 250 million users worldwide with tools for collaboration, automation, and productivity. Yet while Teams excels at internal communication, it lacks native support for traditional phone systems and analog devices. That’s where certified integrations like the Vodia PBX come in. As a Microsoft-certified solution, Vodia bridges Teams with SIP phones, VoIP devices, and analog endpoints, enabling businesses to make and receive external calls directly within Teams.
Law firms can now handle client communications more efficiently with the new integration between Vodia and Smokeball, the AI-powered legal practice management software. The integration connects the phone system directly with Smokeball, giving staff instant caller identification, access to related matters, and real-time client insights. By unifying calls and case management in one platform, it helps firms save time, reduce errors, and deliver faster, more informed client service.
