Aside from email, voice communications over a telephone is the most widely used form of business communications.

Organisations have many options available to them including:

• Analogue telephone handsets and lines
• Analogue or digital handsets with a private branch exchange (PBX)
• IP / VOIP handsets with an IP PBX
• IP / VOIP handsets with a hosted PBX (as a service)
• Mobile / Cellular telephones
• Softphones
• Call routing via the public switch telephone network (PSTN)
• Call routing via private network connections
• Call routing via 3rd party IP trunking services
   

and various combinations of all of the above.

Additionally, organisations may look at in integration of video conferencing and instant messaging with their telephony services.
