In this modern day and age, it is very important to stay ahead in the game when dealing with the ins and outs of your business. When it comes to communication, there are many different methods which have been gaining more and more popularity, and one of those methods is the use of ISDN. Put simply, an ISDN or Integrated Service Digital Network is a line which offers various services not previously available in basic phone lines. Back in the day, phone lines were simply used as phone lines themselves – a way to communicate through voice over telephone lines. However, ISDN is a new form of phone line. You can think of an ISDN line as an upgraded telephone line of sorts which can bring you a myriad of features which you can use to the advantage of your company and business.
Here are all the waysHow ISDN can help you benefit your company:
- Access to modern features. If you chose to get your own ISDN, you will find that you will have access to a wide range of modern features not found in any standard phone line. With an ISDN line in place, you can take advantage of various features such as DDI or Direct Dialing In, IVR or Interactive Voice Response, as well as MSN or Multiple Subscriber Numbering. These features will allow you to use your phone line in a way which will not impede other processes in the business.
- Internet connectivity. Unlike regular phone lines, your ISDN will also allow you access to the internet. In fact, you may be able to use your ISDN in order to send email, browse the internet, and the like. This means that you will be able to use your ISDN to connect to and get the benefits of the internet without having to spend additionally.
- File transfer capability. Amazingly, your ISDN will also have the ability to transfer files over the internet or even from point to point much like a fax machine does.
- Budget management. Last but not the least is with your ISDN, you will be able to easily manage your budget since you will not have to spend to get several different separate phone lines. With an ISDN, you will see that you won’t be needing any other phone line for all your business needs.
