Managed VoIP service: a new way to increase organizational productivity

Voice over IP is becoming the first option for many companies. With a significant increase in productivity and increased workforce mobility made possible by the successful implementation of one such solution, the reasons for this trend are quite obvious. In fact, these are two reasons why organizations, at different levels, want to switch to VoIP. The other benefits of this cutting-edge technology include infrastructure consolidation and a decrease in day-to-day operating costs. It could definitely be said that the benefits of opting for VoIP are more than one.

However, for the successful implementation of VoIP within an organizational context, certain preconditions must be met. First of all, the facilitating institutions must have certain technical skills so that the transition is smooth and without complications. The risks of the transition must be minimized. In addition, the quality of the voice must conform to the established standards. In this context, it can be said that managed VoIP services have emerged as the new way through which organizations and institutions are making the important change from traditional telecommunications systems to Voice over IP.

This is because the successful implementation of VoIP requires certain skills. And many times, it would be very expensive for companies and organizations to do it on their own. There are costs to implement and operate a Voice over IP network. Special equipment and software become necessary for the transition. In addition, a team of technically competent people and specialized facilities for network operation are required to use these networks most effectively. Given all these limitations, managed VoIP services often become the most logical choice. The managed service provider offers equipment and software, technical support, as well as the centers for network operations, making the entire transition process as painless as possible for the facilitating organizations.

In addition, many of the managed service providers offer special services for monitoring voice quality. In fact, there are specific strategies that should be used for this purpose.

Expertise for such an analysis is hard to come by. Managed VoIP services also solve this problem and ensure that voice quality conforms to certain set standards. This ensures that the voice quality is not inferior to the quality of traditional telephone systems.

In the managed switch partition, organizations have to pay “fixed” bills. The amount they would have to pay would depend on certain factors:

1. number of people who would be using the network

2. number of items to be managed

Therefore, with managed partitioning services, an organization can bring its telecom costs within limits.
