Telephone and Video Conferencing Solutions

Traditionally voice and video communications have relied on telephone lines provided by companies such as British Telecom and Cable & Wireless.

Telephone calls and Video Conferencing meetings would use these lines and there would be associated costs for that call. Businesses would install their our private telephone exchange (pabx) in their building and if they had branch office(s) then they would have to implement a pabx in each office and local telephone lines.

In recent years telephone technology has evolved which now allows a telephone conversation to take place between parties without the need for telephone lines. They use broadband internet connections and the internet itself as the means to communicate. Up to more recent times the internet was used for transferring data; now that data includes voice and video streaming.

The effect for a business which has branch offices or people that work from home, is that with an investment in new technology they can reduce their telephone costs, as calls across the internet are free and have everyone in their organisation connected on the same telephone system, whether that person is based at head office, branch office, at home or even working from an internet wifi connection with a laptop, anywhere in the world. They can become a truly connected business.

This provides agility to the business, flexibility for its employees and ultimately improved productivity for the company.
