4 Considerations Before Moving to VoIP

Posted on by

Migrating from legacy to VoIP is a big and exciting move for most SMBs. Here are a few things to consider before diving in:

1. Your Network

If you are new to VoIP, your current telephony system is probably entirely separate from your data network. Neither has much impact on the other. VoIP, however, uses the data network and requires bandwidth and stability. Before implementing a VoIP solution, ensure that your data network is sufficient to support VoIP and all that it entails.

2. Compatibility

Today’s market offers a plethora of VoIP providers and solutions, so it is okay to be picky. Take the time to find a solution that is compatible with your setup. An easy deployment will set your company up for a successful VoIP experience. PBXware is compatible with most systems and can seamlessly integrate with all of our other products.

3. The Budget

Budget is probably the first thing most SMBs think of when they consider a new telephony solution. Do not forget to analyze all of the costs that accompany both your current system and the new one. From the cost of long distance calls to hardware to maintenance, carefully compare your options.

4. Security

Finally, VoIP brings with it a brand new issue: Security. This was not a problem with legacy systems, so it is easy to forget or ignore. However a breach in security could mean huge consequences for your company. Take the time before migrating to VoIP to ensure your company will be secure. Products like sipPROT and sipMON do the work for you and guarantee security.
