VoIP in Business and Government

The internet has changed the way communication is done. Beginning with electronic mail followed by instant messaging and now with VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). The creation of a way to have audio conferencing as well as video conferences with almost anyone, anywhere on the globe has created quite a stir among businesses.

VoIP is helping many companies cut down on their expenses. Thanks to the increasing number of hardware manufacturers who are producing VoIP phones, more and more corporations are beginning to utilize VoIP. The process can be as simple as installing Skype in the company computers and having wireless headsets or VoIP phones.

The government is also adopting VoIP for their use as well. It is being utilized for increased public information in Aberdeen and is currently being negotiated for Orlando, Florida’s government. A budget is set at $ 1.7 billion dollars to replace their 10 year old system.
