Cloud Phone Systems

Cloud Phone Systems | What is it and Why?

Cloud Phone solutions are IP phone systems with the "brains" of the system hosted in multiple datacenters by the provider. The connection to these phone systems is via the Internet, you are no longer responsible for maintaining connections to services like PRI and analog lines. A new cloud phone system provides you with features that aren't available in a premise environment like support for SMS and advanced integrations. Businesses today are realizing that it is most important to align with communication solutions that are flexible and robust in feature sets - tying your organization down with a traditional on-premises phone system, simply does not make sense in today's volatile business world.

2 Key Reasons | People Buy Cloud Phones

Reason 1: Capital expense vs. Operational expense. One of the main reasons businesses are turning to cloud phone systems as their enterprise communication tool is because implementing a traditional on-premise phone system can be difficult and expensive. On the other hand, cloud-based phone system offer the same abilities (and much more) giving you best of breed communication technology without the impact of a large one time cost. 

Reason 2: cloud-based phone systems are always up to date. Rather than scheduling exhaustive upgrades that take up time and resources, cloud phone systems are continuously patched for the latest software version and feature sets as upgrades are pushed virtually on the back end. Additionally, as organizations grow, adding on additional features to fit new business need is as simple as adding licenses and clicking "apply".
