VoIP Phone Service Migration- A carefully planned process

Posted by Anjana on December 23rd, 2016

It may seem very intimidating to replace an entire corporate communication system to VoIP phone service migration. It may also seem very far- reaching, technical and unattainable! As a matter of fact, switching from a PSTN service provider to a business VoIP phone service provider does not need too much thought and deliberation to it. Switching to a hosted VoIP phone system does not have to be a very strenuous process!

IP Phones can do a lot more than bringing your company more savings! By telling your potential VoIP service providers in India or in any other country, it's a great initial step to take while ensuring a smooth transition. VoIP Service providers in India, the UK and so on are great and provide with a wide range of liberties which allow them to customized their unlimited calling plans as per their business needs.

The completeness of IP telephony is as great as the network it's deployed on. The best VoIP service provider will always provide you with a demo which shall help you decide upon whether you want to sign up for their VoIP services or not. A complete assessment is done by the company head, making sure everything is okay before installing so many VoIP systems. Companies tend to find out later that their systems cannot be upgraded or replaced completely. This can be a very expensive mistake your company may have to pay if you are not precautious enough while choosing the right VoIP service provider. This mistake can be prevented if a pre- installation network analysis is done.

A research has stated that only 18% of all organizations have successfully complete a project, without any glitches. VoIP migration is a major and very essential project which follow the rules of project management. Irrespective of the size of the VoIP system, it's definitely going to fail without a plan, a good plan. The plan must include- the time taken, check- lists, a back- up plan and steps!

The last step to migrate to a hassle- free, successful IP telephony system is to believe and implement acceptance. Accept the fact that Rome too wasn't built in a day's time! The right expectation setting is very essential. What may have worked for another company, may not necessarily work for your company. Know what and which VoIP service provider your company is switching to and what they wish to achieve. Work within those expectations, definitely not against them!

All I want to say is that VoIP is a greta technology with immense potential- it has the ability to get in touch with anyone, anywhere at the most affordable rates with great quality. However, you need to know what you want and how much you can invest on it. Your employees are difinitely going to enjoy it because of it's innumerable features and ease. Therefore, your productivity as a whole shall hike up in no time once the IP phoine is installed. However, you must do enough research before buying it- go for the free demo, be really very precautious!
