With the arrival of the cloud, cloud telephone systems have become a powerful business tool. Growth-focused companies are now migrating from traditional telephone systems to business telephone systems in the cloud.
Businesses that have already adopted cloud telephone systems are realising the benefits over conventional solutions, including:
1. Flexibility of a cloud based system
A cloud based telephone system makes it very easy to scale up and down, very easy to add multiple locations and allows for remote and mobile workers.
2. ISDN switch off by 2025
BT are not taking any new ISDN orders in 2020, with a plan that the ISDN network will be turned off completely in 2025. With the introduction of new broadband internet connections like DSL, WAN and Cable, ISDN is pretty much an outdated system.
3. Reliability
When your electricity goes down, so does your telephone system. One of the main advantages of a cloud based telephone system is that things wouldn’t grind to a halt. Advanced features can respond to an outage setting up call forwarding to cell phones. Cloud based systems can also be easily transferred to a wireless backup system which will keep your business running.
4. Scalability
Hosted solutions are designed for businesses of any size, so scaling up and down can be easily achieved. Cloud solutions are normally only charged on a per-user-per-month basis, which means you only pay for what you need.
5. Lower Cost
Cloud based telephone systems eliminates expensive onsite equipment and cheaper to maintain. This is a no brainer when it comes to cost cutting.
