Phone VoIP Opens Up Unlimited Possibilities For The Future
Phone VoIP is a revolutionary technology that has gained
tremendous attention from the industry as well as individual
users over the last few years.It has changed the way people
think about phone communications.By using the Internet as a
medium to transport voice, it evens out the communications costs
over distant geographical locations. Over the last few years we
have seen phenomenal growth in the usage of this Internet phone
service. Estimates show that currently over 10% of the
international phone traffic uses phone VoIP for communication.
Cheap Long Distance and Local Phone Calls
Phone VoIP uses IP based networks to provide voice
communication as well as various additional services. Due to the
value-added benefits and the cost advantage, the Internet phone
service has proved to be a serious competitor to regular
telephone services.
Today individual users are increasingly using phone VoIP for
making long distance and international calls whereas the
industries are using it both for long distance as well as local
calls. Large organizations are also using the Internet phone
service for internal communications within the organization.
College campuses with over 40,000 individual users are taking
advantage of VoIP phone service for all of their on and off
campus calling.
The Competitive Advantage
Organizations and individuals started using phone VoIP to
reduce costs because that seemed to be one of the most visible
advantages of the technology. But the versatility of this
technology is slowly widening this thought process. Already
organizations have started thinking of using phone VoIP
strategically to gain competitive advantage and to start doing
things that were not possible earlier.
Capability to Integrate with other systems
The fact that VoIP is digital and can be stored, understood and
manipulated by the computer opens up a plethora of
possibilities. Today VoIP is not just an Internet phone service
but it is becoming feature rich as it merges with the computer.
The very nature of the technology enables us to combine the
voice data with other data and integrate it with other Internet
based data and systems. Phone VoIP provides a platform where
voice data can be fed into software applications for intelligent
and strategic use. Thus it facilitates integration of different
services in one common network. In this integrated voice and
data environment, applications and voice-enhanced services can
be easily developed leveraging the IP infrastructure.
Unlimited Future Possibilities
Phone VoIP offers the flexibility that could help organizations
come up with innovative ways of using voice data to improve
their services and the way they conduct business.
Let us take a few examples to understand how this technology
could shape the future of the industry. Imagine that you call up
the customer service department of your refrigerator vendor. You
report the problem to the customer care executive and during the
call she can access the database with the schedule of the
maintenance engineers. With the click of the button she sets up
the time of the call in consultation with you and confirms the
name of the engineer who shall make the visit. She also sends a
message to the concerned engineer immediately about the schedule
of the call. Remember all this is happening while you are still
on the call and reporting the complaint.
Let us look at another scenario where you order for a product
over the phone. While you are still placing the order, the sales
guy at the other end checks the inventory stocks and confirms
your order. If the product is not available, he reorders it by
the click of the button and informs you of the time when it will
be shipped. He could go a step further, authenticate your voice
on his computer, check your bank accounts, debit your account
immediately for the sale and send a message to the dispatch
department to dispatch the order, all of this while you are
still placing the order.
These are just a few examples that show how phone VoIP can be
utilized innovatively to gain competitive advantage. But the
possibilities are unlimited and it depends upon individuals and
the industry how they further develop the technology to their
advantage.
Emerging Trends
In the future, phone VoIP will force individuals, companies and
organizations to rethink the way they manage their daily
activities or conduct business.Looking at the rate at which
usage is expanding, it is estimated that many new entrants will
emerge in the phone VoIP service provider bandwagon. The
technology will evolve, improve and regulatory measures shall
favor growth. Another emerging trend is wireless VoIP, which
will provide the users with the cost benefits of regular VoIP
phone service and the mobility of cellphone service.
