A new year is on the horizon, and it is time to gaze into our crystal ball to anticipate what will unfold in 2024. In our view, 3 key trends in communication will dominate the narrative in the coming months: 1. More Remote Workers Will Get VoIP Phone Systems The pandemic thrust remote work from the sidelines into the mainstream. And now, while many companies are reverting to a 100% in-office workforce, many are continuing with a remote or hybrid model (for a variety of reasons). To support these remote workers, we anticipate more companies of all sizes to switch from a conventional...

Research indicates that customers most dislike being placed on hold. A VoIP phone system can help address this issue by reducing or even eliminating hold times. This can be achieved through multiple strategies, including assigning unique phone numbers to all employees, using the auto-attendant feature to direct calls immediately, routing calls based on the time-of-day or day-of-week, utilizing the Presence feature to see real-time availability of colleagues, and integrating the system with other platforms like CRM. If holding is inevitable, custom music or messages can enhance the on-hold experience. VoIP thus significantly enhances customer service....

Carolina Digital Phone has been in business for more than 20 years. For very select companies in some industries, this is not an exceptionally long period. For example, founded in 1806, Colgate is still going strong and the legendary Pabst Brewing Company has been around since 1844. However, in the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) marketplace, 20+ years is an ETERNITY. You can probably measure the average lifespan of a VoIP company in months rather than years. We have seen so many companies come and go — a few because they were unlucky, but the vast majority because they did...
