Choosing the right Voip service provider is, without doubt, the most important aspect of ensuring you're new Voip system runs as optimally as possible, as often as possible. Downtime caused by faulty systems can cost your business untold amounts in revenue and trust.
The rise in the number of Voip service providers has risen drastically in the past few years, in line with the continuing growth in interest and popularity regarding Voip systems, and the clear advantages they have to offer over conventional phone systems.
The main advantage offered by Internet telephony systems (whether Hosted Voip or IP PBX) are the substantially reduced call costs. As well as this, the hugely improved audio quality and flexibility have won over many businesses keen to move away from dying analogue technology.
But the question on everyone's lips is 'How do you know which service provider is the right choice for you?' Well, one key resource which should not be overlooked is the Internet Service Providers Association (ITSPA).
The ITSPA is the official trade association 'representing UK based network operators and service providers involved in with the supply of Voip services to businesses and residential consumers within the United Kingdom and across the European Union.'
Presently the ITSPA has over 50 Voip service providers as members, however, only 18 of these members have received an ITSPA quality mark, guaranteeing that the level of quality and service provided by each of these companies is without reproach.
The trend of quick-start-up businesses hoping to turn a quick profit by jumping on the coat-tails of the latest craze is certainly nothing new. And yet despite this, the Voip technology market still has much to offer new business as there are still countless thousands of businesses and households not aware - or taking advantage of - this new technology.
So if you are looking for a Voip service provider - as with any other business - it is worth doing your research and not simply looking for the lowest monthly cost. Ensuring that the company you choose has not just a proven track record, but also received ITSPA certification, will guarantee that you are getting the best and most trusted service possible for your money, and leave you free to worry about running your business.
