An article on VoIP Monitor points out how the Eastern European business sector have taken to VoIP technology a quite a rate. New VoIP networks are being paired with traditional traditional SS7 PSTN based telephone networks in an effort to improve company effectiveness and reduce costs.

It is news like this that is encouraging not only for suppliers, but also for end users who might be skeptical and harbour doubts about new IP based communications solutions.

Traditional telephone systems are still widely used in the business sector and the switch over can seem like a leap too far for many company’s in terms of cost and also resources needed such as staff training for the new systems that will be installed.

With examples of company-wide transitions to VoIP Phone Systems from European counterparts, more UK businesses might be willing to dip their proverbial toe in the water.

With the economic downturn affecting many businesses, the thought of splashing out on a new communications infrastructure might understandly be the last thing on a finance director’s mind but with the saving acheivable over traditional systems, the a new VoIP telephone system might not be a bad investment.
