Going green in your business means doing more with less. It entails learning to utilize scarce resources in a more efficient manner. It means becoming a steward of the land, air and water. Conserving resources not only helps the planet it can help revolutionize your business model and equal substantial savings over time.
Most businesses are already recycling paper, plastic and perhaps printer cartridges. But another major opportunity for conserving resources is the phone system. One interesting development with the ascension of Voice Over IP (VoIP) technology in the area of phone systems are the conservation implications. By integrating current LAN infrastructures with an outsourced VoIP provider an incredible amount of resources are conserved. You can think of it as telephone system car pooling. Many businesses and people share the same telephone system.
By integrating voice and data, the entire old school phone system hardware, and all of the accompanying wiring become obsolete. New construction planning to integrate voice and data over a single VLAN saves on cabling, hardware and the power to run it all. The actual installation costs are substantially lower, and the long term maintenance and upgrades are also lower.
How an Outsourced Phone System Conserves the Environment?
An outsourced VoIP provider maintains a carrier grade switch and a back up that replace the individual switches normally maintained at the user level. Logic Voice, a New York based VoIP provider supports nearly 1900 business and 75,000 users. That is 1900 phone systems that won’t end up in a landfill someday. It is hundreds if not thousands of miles of savings in cabling. The cabling itself is comprised of copper, plastic, and rubber compounds made from petroleum based chemicals that when disposed of can contaminate ground water and release toxic gasses into the environment. The more businesses that share space on a carrier switch the more the energy savings, and material savings.
Nearly every business in America uses the telephone. Imagine the implications to the economy of ridding the planet of premise based systems (PBXs)? Not only will it save a fantastic amount of resources, the companies would benefit from the advanced features and functionality available with a VoIP system. It is a genuine opportunity for small businesses to help their bottom line while helping to save the environment.
