Softphones are all the craze, recently: we see them on iPods and iPads, computers, and even on iPhones and smartphones, which already work with traditional cell lines. What we don’t see as often, however, is the softphone in a business context. And yet, such a thing would actually have its benefits. Here, we will tell you how to get a professional softphone system for your enterprise.

Since you are reading this, it is safe to assume you are part of a business. As a result, you either have, or plan on having a rather strong Internet connection for the various office demands. With this out of the way, all you really need is a professional package with a VoIP provider—these are often denoted as “Office (Pro)” or “Business (Pro)” packages.

These plans often come in many forms, most often varying in terms of price and number of extensions. Most providers write not the full price, but rather the price per user, which often gets lower as the total number of users in the plans increases. Some functions in Office plans include:

  • A fax system;
  • Unlimited calling and faxing between Canada and the United States;
  • An automatic receptionist system;
  • And a department-based organisation system.

All you need to do after this is download your provider’s softphone program (or a compatible program), and set up as many “lines” as your packages allows.

All things considered, professional softphone systems are very advantageous for a business. While increased functionalities are welcome, the switch to a VoIP phone system in a business will also greatly reduce related expenses. Moreover, since a business will likely have a strong Internet package for its various Internet demands, the calls made through a softphone system will be all the more stable.

And that is how you get a professional softphone system for your enterprise. Any questions regarding business-related packages? Please leave a comment below, or visit us on our Facebook page.
