What's Hot for 2007? Technology to drive your profits next year.
Selling VoIP to business requires a clear understanding of the differences between residential and business-grade services, says Gavin McDougal, managing director at VoIP provider, ISPhone.

Making the switch to VoIP
A successful switchover by small businesses to VoIP is becoming more achievable as new service products become available.

It pays to look before you leap
Using a service provider can bring big benefits to a voice over internet protocol network, reaching out to locations where a company doesn't have a network presence. However, choosing the wrong partner can cause big trouble.

False promises damage VoIP reputation
Consumer VoIP providers selling services as enterprise/SME solutions are potentially damaging the VoIP industry's reputation and setting an unreasonably low benchmark for pricing. While rates such as 10c untimed anywhere in Australia offer an attractive proposition to anyone making STD calls, customers are bound to be turned off by the technology if they don't receive the service they expected.

Brodie on the ISPhone
ISPhone has appointed Greg Brodie as its new Senior Sales Channel manager. Brodie's responsibilities will include identifying and recruiting new channel partners, developing new business opportunities and expanding the sales team.

Cash in on VoIP
If anyone is still in any doubt as to the impact voice over Internet is having on the local enterprise telephony market, they need only look at recent statistics from IDC.

In the December quarter last year, 60 percent of new telephony equipment sales were in the IP sector, with IP PBX units significantly outselling traditional PABXs.
