Web-applications have changed the way we can do business. Probably, the biggest of these are those provided by Managed Business Phone Systems Vendors. VOIP (Video Over Internet Protocol) calling and video calling has swept through the world of business without most of us knowing. Do you know when you call your bank, for example, you are not actually calling someone from your bank?
Your call is often being diverted via a VOIP calling service and being handled by an inbound calling provider. The person you are speaking to can be anywhere in the world. Some inbound centres even employ people who work in their own home. They are connected to their employer through another VOIP connection. The world of web-based applications provided by Managed Business Phone Systems Vendors.
VOIP telephone systems
If you are not using VOIP, you are really missing out, and paying too much. You should be using VOIP for video calling and calling to your clients (and friends), anywhere in the world.
The costs are ridiculously low, and the quality is just as good as normal telephone calling. Where else can you get video calls? Web-based applications are excellent for business because they allow the business owner to leap over the step of application installation, and with a few clicks of a mouse, have VOIP services available to everyone in their company, no matter where they are in the world.
Printing services
Online business card printing, and total online business printing services are using web-based applications to make the process of getting all your printing needs sorted, very easy indeed. The web application allows you to upload your logo, for example, modify your customised text, and then it will produce all the corporate documents you need, from envelopes, A4 paper with your letter head, even customised invoices, if you are still sending them via snail mail.
Payment systems
It used to cost a fortune to install the equipment to accept credit card and other payments. Nowadays, with a small physical attachment, we can even use web-based applications to swipe credit cards on our smartphones.
Other web-based applications, like Paypal, make it easy, and safe, to send and receive payments. They provide inbuilt invoicing tools, and you can keep track of your payments, and keep records of all of your financial transactions.

Web applications, which may look like a website, but actually do a lot more, and can minimise your workload, increase your business reach, and particularly the case of VOIP systems, they can really save you money.
