Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the new technology that is revolutionizing the telecommunications industry. Until recently, converting from a traditional telephone system to a network-based system required a huge upfront investment to switch out all of a company’s hardware, an expense that only most large corporations could afford. Now there are new technological advancements that enable small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) to implement VoIP and IP PBX systems compatible with their existing hardware. Although a growing number of SMBs are now benefiting from the cost savings provided by VoIP, there are still many misconceptions about the quality and reliability of service. This document is intended to address and dispel the main objections for implementing Internet telecommunications that are resonating within the industry. It will also provide substantial rationale for dispelling the VoIP myths that once appeared to be obstacles for businesses. Traditional ISDN and PSTN lines are still the norm, but not for long. It’s no longer a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ VoIP will become the de facto standard for how phone calls are made. Info-Tech Research estimates that 50% of SMBs in the USA will be using VoIP by 2008. McKinsey Consulting is predicting a similar proportion will be reached in the UK. They estimate that over 1bn (roughly US$1.8bn) of UK landline revenue will be VoIP within the next few years. “It is no longer a question of whether VoIP will wipe out traditional telephony, but a question of how quickly it will do so,” The Economist ‘How The Internet Killed The Phone Business’ (Sept. 2005) According to the Gartner Group, “Voice/data convergence based on IP telephony and VoIP will be under way in more than 95 percent of major companies by 2010”. The IP telephony phenomenon is a global one. Businesses are replacing their traditional telephone switchboard and private branch exchange (PBX) systems with IP solutions at a tremendous rate. Synergy Research forecasts that the IP PBX market will exceed the legacy traditional switchboard market in 2006. Synergy also projects that the worldwide IP PBX market, worth about US$2bn in 2003, will grow to US$6bn in 2007 while the traditional PBX market will drop by 50% over the same period from some US$7bn to roughly US$3.5bn.                                             Business VoIP       Microsoft Response Point ®
