If your office telephone systems are lagging behind the rest of your business automation network, now is a great time to look at a cloud phone system. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) cloud telephony will be a quantum leap in your organization’s advancement to a unified communications system.
Does my telephone number have to change?
A: No! You can keep your landline number with VoIP. With number porting your telephone contact numbers are spread throughout your website, advertising, social media, and printed material. Switching to a VoIP cloud service in that respect will be seamless and trouble-free.
Better yet, all the business desk phones can instantly route callers to smartphones. Remote and mobile workers can access every convenient and important feature they enjoy in the office, such as call transfer, caller ID, etc. VoIP adds a tremendous communications dimension to the standard desktop and is the strongest link in the aforementioned unified communications system.
What are some other advantages of VoIP Cloud Technology?
A: Now that you know you can keep your existing phone number, let’s take a look at the other 8 advantages a VoIP phone system offers:
1. Lower costs
Aside from the fact that telephone communications over the web are cost-free, NEC hardware leasing bypasses capital investments for a truly turnkey operation with no big cash outlay.
2. Flexibility
Whether your business is a cost-conscious nonprofit or a billion-dollar insurance company in the New York, New Jersey tri-state area, there is a VoIP installation plan that can be scaled to meet your needs. The beauty of cloud services is the scalability and the economy of only paying for what you need.
3. Reduce demands of in-house resources
VoIP is one of the oldest players in the managed services industry. The idea is to outsource maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrading to allow in-house people to tend to the core business.
4. Operating expense vs. capital expense
In addition to the lower costs of leasing, the advantage of minimizing capital expenses is that operating expenses are known budget items that make costs predictable and manageable. A cloud telephone system is a known operating expense. The system can be upgraded without additional capital investment.
5. Mobility
With VoIP services, your people can take its robust communications features to their home office or on the road. Their iPhones, Androids, or laptops keep them close and collaborative.
6. Remote collaboration
VoIP removes geographical boundaries for businesses with multiple locations as well as workers still quarantined because of the COVID-19 pandemic. VoIP can be integrated with popular Internet video conferencing applications, and it can be seamless.
7. High-quality telephone support
Installing a VoIP business telephone system brings everything–the network infrastructure as well as responsibility for quality performance–into the realm of the aforementioned managed services, outsourced to experts who provide that high-quality telephone support.
8. Connecting your people
Your people are your most valuable and irreplaceable assets. They have a hierarchy of needs, which include self-actualization and a desire to contribute, socialize, and collaborate. VoIP communications can help breakdown silos of personal and professional isolation simply by making it easier to see and talk with each other.
