Voice: Here to grow and stay

Easier to leave a voice note

It’s easier to pick up a phone than to type a message to someone. Without the personal connection provided by voice-to-voice interaction, business relationships would wilt. Think of those times when you just can’t face drafting another mail or typing another message.

Essential to businesses

Despite the huge range of technology platforms, we now communicate on, Voice is still relevant. “More so than ever.” says David Godfrey, CEO of iConnect. “Mainly because it is often easier to leave a voice note, than to text. It’s also now more affordable. In addition, the human voice will never be irrelevant in business”.

Godfrey says that’s why a voice-enabled approach to communications will remain essential to the everyday business operations.

It’s no surprise then that “Voice” is a key to technology’s current evolution. Technology platforms that use the human voice predominately to connect people are known as in the IT-world.

When done properly, Voice allows a communication network to expand quickly and easily across a business or businesses. This is known as Voice Scalability. Voice will reduce call, hardware costs and will offer improved quality of sound, known as “enterprise-grade voice quality”. When it comes to businesses, the new Voice options that are offered by providers like iConnect, now offer unsurpassed new features.

What to consider for your business when it comes to Voice

The market is shifting away from on-site PABXs and moving towards hosted environments known as a “Hosted PBX” or “Cloud Telephony”.
