In the first article in this series, I discussed what converged networking looks like and told you that VoIP has the potential to offer you tremendous savings. I’m sure you are very interested in this topic, so I’m covering it in an article all by itself.

There are many ways VoIP saves you money. Here is a list of the money-saving items we will cover in this article:

1. long distance charges
2. setting up your own phone infrastructure between sites you own
3. leasing DIDs instead of phone lines
4. providing services directly to your employees
5. providing your own voicemail
6. reduction of conference call charges
