Can VoIP Calls Be Monitored?

09/09/16

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) essentially turns the Internet into a business phone line. With VoIP technology, voice and fax communications are transformed into digital data packets that can be more easily stored, searched and more. If you’ve wondered, “Can VoIP calls be monitored,” the answer is yes. Quite easily, in fact — and recorded too.

Six Key Call Monitoring Advantages

Call monitoring supports business efforts to keep standards high. Also, with VoIP call recording, managers have greater flexibility in arranging training and one-on-one meetings to review employee compliance and consistency of customer service.

These call recordings, too, can be used to enhance training and for employee review purposes. With call recording software, the company is better able to determine what questions aren’t being answered. This, in turn, enables managers to give employees the tools and information they need to get their job done right and well.

Being able to easily record VoIP calls can reduce liability by verifying compliance and enhance quality assurance. Having a record of every customer contact can reduce the need for refunds and also prove useful evidence in defusing a dispute before it gets too costly.

Call monitoring helps a business better identify risks or security threats. These VoIP technology features add security by allowing the company to more easily detect security problems or inappropriate employee activity.

Call recording also sets the organization up to efficiently satisfy government regulations and ensure that the business remains complaint.

VoIP technology also makes it easier to manage virtually. With VoIP phone systems, just as voicemail and fax messages can be sent directly to the user’s email inbox, call recordings can be efficiently saved, forwarded, and stored.
