“We needed help it was only a phone call away”

We enjoyed another successful year at Hoag Library in no small part due to our relationship with Info Advantage. With the help of Johnathan and Linda we replaced many of our computers this year and have finally gotten all of our equipment onto a three year cycle for replacement. The installation of the new computers was handled in house knowing that if we needed help it was only a phone call away. Jeremiah was instrumental in helping us get all of the new equipment online and swapping out some other equipment with items that were at the end of life. Other times we have depended on Jacob to help us figure out why we were having problems. (an unknown power outage was one cause.) and he and Kris reset programs when we could not make successful updates. We were also unable to catalog new books when the dedicated computer went down. We sent the computer to IA , they performed “magic” and Jacob returned it and reinstalled it until our new computers came in.

“Words can’t describe the difference Info Advantage has made."

I have been working with the Info Advantage team for a little over a year now as the IT Manager for VP Supply Corp. Words cannot describe the difference Info Advantage has made in my ability to do my job and protect our network and information assets. What started as a hardware vendor has now evolved into providing MSSP services to better protect our network – and we could not be happier with the quick return on investment this has given us. I would like to give a special shout-out to the members of the Info Advantage team who have not only done their job exceptionally well but have also mastered the soft skills and make me feel as though I can always reach out if we need them. Johnathan, Chris Chan, Chris McDonald, and Nick Wetherwax have been outstanding over the past year. With continued success like this VP Supply will have Info Advantage as a partner for many, many years to come!

“I’ve worked with Info Advantage for 12 yrs. across multiple companies.”

I have worked with Info Advantage over the past 12 years at a couple of companies. This year, Info Advantage helped me deploy a new VMWare / EMC environment for my current employer. During the selection process, they were very responsive with quote changes, responses to questions and updates explaining every aspect of the roll-out. They were very willing to take my current level of knowledge into consideration in the quoting process and their quotes were very competitive. Once awarded the project, Info Advantage proceeded very quickly to order and install the hardware in agreed time with on-hands training and system documentation for me. I would personally recommend Info Advantage for any project.

The Future Is Calling: Why VoIP Beats Traditional Phones

The Future Is Calling: Why VoIP Beats Traditional Phones

July 01, 20254 min read

Today’s workforce is faster, more digital, and increasingly remote, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. If you’re still using a landline, you’re being slowed down by outdated technology that’s inflexible, expensive, and not built for modern business demands.

Even worse, it doesn’t support how you work today: remote teams, multiple communication platforms, and the need for stability and scalability.

That’s why agile companies have been making the switch to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)—a future-ready solution designed to meet modern business needs.

Managed VoIP Solutions are transforming how small businesses operate, providing the tools and flexibility to run like much larger organizations, without the high overhead.

If you’re still using a traditional phone system, here’s why it might be time to upgrade, and how VoIP can take your company into the future.

Cut Your Communication Costs by Up to HALF

Traditional phone systems can quietly drain your tight budget. Between setup costs, maintenance fees, and long-distance charges, the expenses add up fast, especially for growing Small and Medium Sized Businesses.

VoIP systems, on the other hand, operate on a predictable, per-user monthly subscription model. Meaning there’s no surprise fees, no bulky hardware, and way less maintenance.

Businesses that switch to VoIP save 30–50% on their monthly phone bills. That’s real money you can reinvest into what actually drives growth, from your people, your product, and your customer experience.

Connect with Your Team—Anywhere

Remote and hybrid work are here to stay. In fact, 67% of mobile workers using VoIP report an increase in productivity and ability to resolve problems faster. That means your communication system needs to keep up.

VoIP is built for the modern workforce. With cloud-based VoIP, employees can access their phone lines from any device, anywhere. Whether they’re at home, on the road, or in a coworking space, they can take calls, join video meetings, or message teammates seamlessly.

No dropped calls, no delays, just better collaboration, wherever work happens.

Easily Scales With You

Growth should be exciting, not complicated or expensive.

With traditional phone systems, adding a new employee often means purchasing new hardware, wiring lines, and dealing with IT support. It’s costly and slow.

VoIP eliminates the hardware hassle. Adding new users is as simple as a few clicks. Whether you’re bringing on one new team member or launching a new office, VoIP scales with your business, without all the overhead.

No bulky hardware. No long setup. Just a communication system that grows with you so you can keep running smoothly.

More Features, Less Hassle

Most people assume that saving money means sacrificing features. But with a Managed VoIP Solution, you actually get more, and it’s all built to help your business run smarter.

Instead of juggling multiple tools and platforms, VoIP systems bundle powerful business features into one centralized solution, including:

  • Auto-attendants and intelligent call routing

  • Voicemail-to-email transcription

  • Call analytics and performance tracking

  • Built-in video conferencing and team messaging

  • Mobile app access for working on the go

With everything in one place, your team stays organized, productive, and focused without jumping between apps or missing important messages. VoIP gives you enterprise-grade tools without the enterprise price tag.

Better Customer Experience

For small and mid-size businesses, customer loyalty is everything, and it’s easy to lose. In fact, 32% of customers will stop doing business with a brand they love after just one bad experience.

Outdated phone systems are often the culprit. Dropped calls, misrouted inquiries, long wait times, and a lack of follow-up all hurt your brand and your customers’ trust.

Managed VoIP Solution platforms let you take control of the customer experience. With features like intelligent call routing, automated attendants, and real-time call monitoring, you can ensure that every customer gets the help they need, fast.

You’ll sound more professional, respond more quickly, and keep your customers happy and loyal.

VoIP Is How Modern Companies Do Business

VoIP isn’t just another tech upgrade; it’s the foundation for how today’s companies grow. From reducing costs and enabling remote work to scaling seamlessly and delivering better customer service, VoIP gives you the tools traditional phone systems can’t.

In today’s fast-moving, digital-first world, you need every edge you can get, and you don’t have time or budget to waste on outdated communication systems.

It’s time for something smarter, more flexible, and built for the way you actually do business.
