Cost – easily installed, all you need is stanadrd PC equipment with a webcam/headset and an internet connection (the faster the better).
Free apart from internet connection cost.
Cheap to replace if it breaks.
Simplicity – Everyone (nearly) knows how to use a computer or at least has some experience with one and does not take long to train someone to use it/or the software/hardware you are using.
Easily expanded – You can easily rollout more VOIP quickly as the infrastructure is already in place i.e. LAN and the internet.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

You save on travel costs, and the down-time incurred while everyone flies to the other side of the country to attend a meeting, stays in a posh hotel, and takes their expense accounts for walks round the good restaurants…
Accountants and bosses love it, the guys who attend the meetings hate it 🙂
It’s also usually a lot easier to get all the right people to sit down in front of a terminal somewhere, than to get them all to show up in the same place at once.
hands down its cost.
