The Right Tools Can Significantly Assist Your Business Communications

When you check how much your company spends on communication tools, you might not be happy with the numbers. If you feel like you're paying too much for too little, you're not alone. Many businesses are switching to modern communication tools that use the Internet. Let’s explore some of these options.

VoIP and Conferencing

Every business needs a phone system, right? But traditional phone companies haven’t kept up with modern tech. That’s where VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) comes in. VoIP lets you use the Internet to run a phone system with all the features your business needs—at a much lower cost than regular phone services.

Basic VoIP includes common features like call forwarding, voicemail, and call routing. But you can also expand it to include tools like video calls, instant messaging, and group conferences. You can set it up using the cloud or hardware in your office. VoIP is one of the most affordable and powerful tools for modern businesses.

Email

Email is a key part of how businesses communicate. Some companies use free email services, but these aren’t always secure. Businesses often need to share sensitive information, so it’s better to use professional, business-grade email services.

You can choose between hosting your own email server or using a cloud-based service. If security is a top concern, hosting your own server might be the best option. However, many cloud-based email platforms now come with advanced tools like encryption (which keeps your data safe) and smart features powered by artificial intelligence, making them a great choice too.

Messaging and Collaboration

Whatever tools a business uses, they should help people work faster and better. Modern tools, like cloud-based productivity apps, allow team members to work on the same project in real time, even if they’re in different locations.

Software developers are always improving these tools. New apps include features like instant messaging, project management, and the ability to connect with other software. These tools make teamwork smoother and help businesses save time and money.

As more people work remotely and companies outsource tasks, having the right communication tools is more important than ever. If you want to know which tools would work best for your business and save you money, contact the IT experts at JS Business Solutions today at (781) 715-1900.
