VoIP systems let you free your staff from being tied to their desks because their office phone numbers will no longer be limited to any particular phone. For example, with the RingCentral desktop app, you can give your team the ability to make business calls on their desktop or laptop using nothing but an internet connection, a microphone and speaker setup or headset, and the RingCentral app itself.
In addition to full softphone capability, the RingCentral desktop app gives your staff a single interface for other communication services they likely use every day—such as team messaging and collaboration, file sharing, task management, and online meetings.
With the RingCentral mobile app, your team can also enjoy all of this unified communications functionality—VoIP phone calls, texting, conferencing, online meetings, even team messaging and collaboration—from a single app on their smartphones.
In other words, a VoIP system acts as a full-scale cloud PBX (or even more than that in the case of RingCentral), allowing your team to easily manage calls and other communications features, including auto attendants with recorded greetings, advanced call routing and forwarding services, virtual voicemail, and even online faxing.
