Ringio Combines PBX and CRM Functions in Hosted "Rich Calling" Service
One big problem for companies in handling customer calls is uninformed answers. That is, the person answering the call has no idea who is calling or why.

Still, such maneuvers often helped spread the benefits of VoIP as much as did technical innovation. And collectively, the advances brought some already-evident trends into clearer focus. A key such trend is the increasing integration of voice with other applications and services. Another is the intensifying interest in HD voice. A third is the growing interconnection of VoIP services, in part in response to the possibilities that end-to-end HD voice offers. With such trends as background, here, in no particular order, are our top 25 VoIP advances of 2009.
