IT industry news: VoIP 'can help firms reduce costs'

06:30 29th September 2011

Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, can help companies reduce costs, according to Trefor Davies, council member at the Internet Telephony Services Providers' Association (Itspa).

"The biggest saving is usually in the cost of line rental. Businesses using ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) will have been paying the same amount for years. VoIP has come along with line rentals as low as 20 per cent of the cost of ISDN," Mr Davies said.

He said another advantage of using VoIP is that calls to other company sites are free, which is particularly helpful if companies are dialing abroad.

"It is not unusual for a business to halve their communications costs by moving to VoIP," he added.

In other related news, David Cargill, a council member of the Internet Telephony Service Providers' Association, has said VoIP provides more accessible solutions than the traditional telephony systems.
