Many businesses, healthcare facilities, and schools are deciding to upgrade their legacy phone equipment to an IP phone system. Migrating to an IP phone solution can immediately impact your business processes and reduce your operating costs.

Here are some of the key financial and time savings that customers have experienced after making the upgrade (courtesy of Cisco):

• Organizations using unified communications clients saved an average of 32 minutes daily per employee because presence technology enabled staff to reach one another on the first try.
• Use of softphones resulted in an average savings of $1,727 per month in cell phone and long distance charges. Mobile workers also saved 40 minutes each day, enjoyed greater communications convenience, and generated annual productivity gains of 3.5 days per year through business continuity impact.
• Organizations using unified messaging reported that employees saved 43 minutes per day from more efficient message management while mobile workers saved 55 minutes per day.
• Companies using integrated voice and Web conferencing reported a 30% reduction in conferencing expenses (by making integrated conferencing capabilities available in-house and on-network) and an average savings of $1,700 per month in travel costs.
