Small phone systems shouldn’t sell themselves short. True, the sophisticated tier phone systems had been the privilege of the larger corporations for years, but developments in digital capabilities have made this sophisticated technology affordable to smaller businesses, giving them that technological edge.

Really, small businesses can’t afford not to take advantage of Internet phone systems. The technology’s just more flexible, giving small businesses the technological capabilities to instill a very high-tech and professional phone system.

In terms of technological flexibility, imagine adding phone lines in less time that it takes to set up an online email account. In fact, you can transfer the entire phone system to a new office building though one simple call to your VoIP provider. Relying on computerized software, Internet phone systems enable simple transfer of service through computer configurations that can be done instantaneously on demand.

How big does your company need to be to benefit from an Internet phone system? How large do you need to be to benefit from serious savings on your long distance bills? Internet phone lines have cost saving benefits for all sizes of businesses, from the top Fortune 500 companies to the small business with a handful of employees. Small phone systems can virtually eliminate their long distance expenses by going digital.

Consider how much your business spends on long distance bills. Chances are that it’s hard to estimate, as it varies according to the clients you are calling. Imagine if you could virtually eliminate all your long distance fees, reducing them to a reasonable low monthly fee and rates that only cost a few cents a minute.

VoIP technology makes all your local calls absolutely free, as well as a number of your long distance calls. All long distance calls made within your provider’s network are absolutely free, while other long distance calls cost only a 3 cents a minute, and only after you’ve used up your monthly allotted number of free minutes.

Internet phone technology also enables you to host a complex PBX system through another provider for cheaper investment than if you hosted it yourself. This makes a sophisticated and professional system affordable as well as easily adaptable, putting all the controls and options at your fingertips. Everything can be controlled by your own people, giving you the utmost adaptable advantages.

Minimize your long distance costs while getting the most technological advantages for your money with VoIP phone systems. It evens the playing field for small businesses, giving them the tools they need to be technologically competitive in this digital world.

The future begins today. Digital technology is dynamically changing the world around us. Each day, our world becomes smaller as boardroom meetings can take place between remote locations through videophones. Distanced communication is no longer confined to the telephone when video projection makes every conversation as good as a face-to-face encounter.

A Polycom VoIP phone was just released this spring that combines both video and phone into a single device. The VVX 1500 combines a business media phone with video projects as the first of its kind. The entire personality of a conversation can be transmitted across the Internet, making body language and facial language an integral part of the conversation.

The system can revolutionize office communication, whether through video calls across the country or even within the same office. By implementing the phone into a VoIP PBX system, the entire office can communicate through videophone, making face-to-face conversations as convenient as voicemail.

Each VVX 1500 Polycom VoIP phone comes complete with an Internet browser and integrates conveniently with CRM systems.

Video capabilities revolutionize your VoIP PBX system through inter-office communication. This is especially beneficial for branches located in different regions. Videophones bring all lines of communication to the interoffice meeting so that body language can be a part of the dialogue.

Polycom unveiled this past winter an enterprise video communications and conference platform that allows for broadcast quality images for virtual meetings and collaboration sessions. These are the first 1080p and 720p high definition (HD) quality images that have been introduced to the industry. Images from firms with smaller connections can be digitally increased.

Always looking towards the future, Polycom plans to expand its teleconferencing line. It has plans to release a more affordable videoconferencing system so more companies can jump on board with this technology. It plans to sell the QDX 6000 for around $4,000 that would require a bandwidth of only 256Kpbs. Though it requires little bandwidth, Polycom insists the system will be DVD quality.

Today’s digital video technologies put business communication face to face, even when it takes place on opposite ends of the globe. This brings all dynamics of communication to the table, allowing facial expressions and body language to be part of the dialogue, crucial in today’s competitive business world. When you are discussing an important campaign, it’s very important to communicate clearly and effectively so that all ideas are on the table. Digital technology makes communication personable again, even from remote locations.
