Importance of VoIP telephony
E-commerce and digital transformation have impacted the marketing, sales, and customer service areas of all companies. All those that want to advance and survive have to adapt to the situation and offer a multi-channel communication. Customers demand to be able to communicate with companies through different channels according to their preferences, so we find emails, instant messaging applications, chatbots, social networks, and the telephone.
For example, due to the pandemic in which the world has been immersed by the coronavirus VoIP traffic has increased by 500%, thus making it possible to telework to end the displacement. This is a clear example of the quick adaptation that many companies have had to carry out in a short time since many of them did not yet have VoIP telephony and have seen how it is a good solution for their communications.
VoIP telephony offers great flexibility for teleworking, as it does not require a fixed infrastructure. As long as you have a computer, an internet connection, and a phone that allows IP voice or an app on your mobile you can use it wherever you are.
Therefore, it does not require a fixed location or large infrastructure, which allows a reduction in costs, and calls over the Internet are cheaper than traditional telephony, and it is for all these features that it has become an important pillar for both internal and external communication of companies.
