What is Hosted VoIP?

If you are currently orienting yourself to a new telephone system, then you have probably come across the term Hosted VoIP a number of times. So it makes sense that you are wondering: What is Hosted VoIP? We are happy to explain.

What is Hosted VoIP?

Hosted VoIP is technology that is sometimes called managed VoIP. It is the newest alternative to a business telephone exchange. The big advantage is that it offers more functionality for less money than a traditional telephone exchange.

How then?

A ‘managed’ VoIP system uses the IP network to make phone calls. This means that you no longer need a local telephone system. Your existing computer network and internet connection are sufficient to work with Hosted VoIP. In this article you can read what else you need. Hosted VoIP is a stand-alone telephone exchange, so you can put your traditional telephone exchange out the door. This certainly makes a difference in maintenance costs, because with ‘managed’ VoIP these are a thing of the past.

The biggest advantages at a glance

To start with, Hosted VoIP is a lot cheaper, especially in the long term. The purchase of new devices (if you want this, because there are also alternatives) is a one-time investment. After that, the maintenance of the network is a lot cheaper. It is less expensive to make changes to the network, for example if you want to work on a larger scale. If your company is going through a growth spurt, you can easily scale up by adding users. If colleagues leave, you can also easily remove these users again. This means you only pay for what you need. This makes Hosted VoIP a suitable for every company telephony solution.

You are incredibly flexible

With Hosted VoIP you are a lot more flexible in contrast to a traditional telephone exchange. With this new way of calling, employees can also use the network from home or on the go. This makes it a lot easier to reach your employees or colleagues anytime and anywhere. Even when they are on a working visit abroad.

Clear

Finally, with Hosted VoIP you always have the complete overview of your telephone network. For example, you can manage phone calls via a web portal. Your provider also keeps an eye on your network day and night. This way you are assured of the best security and most up-to-date software. In this article we give you tips on how to ensure optimal security of your VoIP environment.
