Raising business communications convenience and slashing costs
Navatec.Com's Private Corporate Network service, available for any registered user of Navatec Voyager, offers a significant cost saving for companies of any size. Two recent studies 1 have assessed the potential savings offered by Navatec Voyager for companies in comparison with regular telephone services and reduced tariff services. This article discusses regular tarifff services.
Who benefits from VoIP?
Many large organizations and government agencies do not use the lower cost tarifffs on offer such as the N1, N2 and N3 bands but continue to use regular telephone charge structures. Others have special arrangements with the national PTT company or private operators.
Under such circumstances the V3 band for VoIP, $15/month, can achieve a major saving for those who use any online application using Navatec Voyager. The VoIP V2 band at $10/month and V1 band at $5/month represent even bigger savingseven for individuals who normally have modest telecom bills. For example, the percentage reduction in telephony charges achieved by using VoIP, for users with current regular monthly bills of $25 to $500 is between 40% and 99%.
Opportunity costs
Any group, small company or organization where they are several people using telecommunications should assess their performance by cost audits and then look into the options for using Navatec Voyager to boost productivity by reducing telecommunications charges. A saving of $30 million can represent a significant boost to performance by levering investment, improving development bank lending portfolios, an international organization's impact on grants and support programs as well as governmental initiatives for a specific segment of the population.
Where such funds are currently being consumed by conventional telecommunications operations it is a legitimate question to ask why. In terms of governance and transparency in international organizations and governmental agencies VoIP offers a better return on public funds.
In the case of private public corporations, the failure to take advantage of VoIP can become an issue of justifiable concern for share holders. Company management needs to demonstrate that they have optimised the mix between VoIP and any remaining conventional telecommunications systems. This should not be just a technological substitution but should boost performance by reallocating corporate resources to productive operations and away from overheads.
