The softphone tool: an asset for your company
A large number of companies have chosen to dematerialize the fixed telephone switchboards, offered by IP telephony, for several reasons: to allow employees to work from home in the same way as in the office and to facilitate internal and external exchanges .
The tool, present in most VoIP telephony solutions and able to do without a fixed switchboard, is the softphone. This has literally transformed many computers into telephones.
But then why use the softphone in business? Aside from mobility, what are its other benefits?
We tell you more in our blog post.
What is a softphone?
First of all, you should know that the softphone is a virtual phone. It is both dematerialized and has a real phone number.
Thanks to it, you have the possibility of launching your calls from a computer or a mobile phone, via the Internet. When you make calls, your communications are sent in packet data. In fact, the principle is the same as for emails or downloads.
In addition, this tool works through a web application, which is associated with an IP telephony solution, such as Sipleo. With the softphone, you can also have a fixed or mobile line with a national or international number. It just depends on your business and your goals.
In summary, the softphone replaces traditional telephone switchboards on IP and gives you better mobility and flexibility.
