Commsworld has multiplied by six the number of connections made up to May 1st compared to the same four month period last year, registering 13,000-plus connections, which also marks a first in the company's 21-year history having already reached a record year.
This growth has been driven by demand for VoIP services, explained Commsworld CEO Ricky Nicol: "When VoIP first appeared on the scene over a decade ago it was exciting, but it struggled against the resilience, speed and practicality of landline systems," he said.
"But thanks to the advancement of networks and cloud services they no longer need rooms full of expensive hardware.
"Voice communications remains an essential tool for business. If you want to get something done instantly you don't just send a trail of emails, you more than likely pick up the phone.
"This in itself isn't new, but what is changing is how we are now using voice communications. It is much more likely to be integrated, and the growth of telephony using Internet connections is helping businesses every day, bringing down costs and improving flexibility."
