You can implement VoIP in several ways. To determine which way is best for your business, decide whether you want to:

  • Only make VoIP calls—or take advantage of unified communications, now or in a few years 
  • Make your investment a capital expense—or an ongoing operational expense
  • Manage your voice technology by allocating staff resources—or outsourcing it
