Moving Business To The Cloud

Considering the cloud for your business communications?

In the past, the emphasis for an on-site phone system was on updating phones, system hardware, software and firmware. Today we also have the option of moving away from all that costly upgrading by moving into a cloud-based system with all the benefits of up to date Unified Communications capabilities. Today’s services provide virtually nearly all of the same capabilities of an actual physical phone system in addition to other unique benefits.

Cloud-Based Business Telephone Systems

In moving onto a cloud-based service, there are a lot of perks. First off, without the need of purchasing actualphone equipment, you are immediately saving capital. And, not only are you saving money, but you are saving facility space as well. Secondly, it is easier to budget your exact telecommunication needs since most companies who offer IP systems give you a fixed monthly fee quote, whereas before, you would have had to pay for system management, IT staff, and any other random expense associated with maintaining a large business phone system. You also avoid a long-term lock-in as most companies who use cloud-based systems are aware of the changing needs of their customers and offer short-term contracts ranging from one to three years as opposed to a long-term contract you are locked into.

Moving Your Business To The Cloud…

When it comes to growth and expansion, cloud-based services make it easier than ever to support a larger number of users, locations and applications as, once again, everything is located in the cloud as opposed to on-site. You can add or subtract stations and/or trunks as needed, and your monthly payment is also adjusted accordingly. This can even be governed by you (the IT administrator) by using just a Web browser to access the hosted system’s portal.

Another upside of using a cloud-based phone system is the survivability that is automatically provided via the cloud in the data center. Though accidents are very uncommon, the added security of knowing that your system will live on regardless of any unfortunate circumstance is an added bonus.

For more information on cloud-based telephone systems we invite you to schedule a consultation and product demonstration with a GCC telecom guru. We’ll review your current telephone system and bill to make sure you’re not paying more than you should be for trunking.
