What is the definition of a small or medium sized
business?
This varies a lot depending on the country, the
industry and the nature of the business. A
typical small business in the US has fewer than 100
employees, and a medium sized one has between 100
and 500. These numbers would be at least 50%
lower in many other countries. Also, a
manufacturing company with an office of 10 people
and a factory with 40 others uses technology in a
very different way to an architect's office with 50
employees. One alternative way of defining
businesses in terms of technology use is to refer to
a company that has no specific Information
Technology (IT) support staff as a small business,
whereas a medium business has one or more IT
professionals.

What is VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is a term
used to describe the transmission of telephone calls
using a data network, rather than over traditional
phone lines. It is a simple concept but one
that is having a very significant impact on the
world of business communications. You can find
more information here.
Is VoIP for my home or business?
The answer is both. Residential deployments of
VoIP are growing as cable companies, phone companies and
specialist providers offer VoIP based services for low
cost communications. People are using these either
for secondary lines at home or in some cases as their
primary line. Meanwhile for businesses VoIP
systems offer tremendous potential for cost savings and
productivity gains. smbINFO provides information
guides to help business understand these opportunities.
