10 Reasons To Move To The Cloud
Lower TCO
Business is more unpredictable than ever––growth one year, contraction the next year. Ideally, you’d be able to secure the most advanced technologies without having to spend significant money upfront on hardware. Hosted VoIP makes this possible.
Upgrades
With Hosted VoIP, there’s no box on your premises, so there’s no hardware to upgrade in order to take advantage of new features and technologies. Because your service is outsourced, upgrades are provided through software changes that happen automatically in the background. That way, you can quickly utilize them to support your employees and better service customers.
Video
Video conferencing is the perfect solution for moving business forward while cutting back on costs. Facial expressions, gestures, eye contact––they all make communications far more personal and ultimately, more productive.
Functionality
Even if you’re jaded about technology, once you see all of the advanced features and functionality that are available from a Hosted VoIP system, you’ll be seriously impressed by the impact it can have on your business. And the best part is you can activate only those features that you need to make your company more productive.
OPEX
The last thing you want to do in this economy, or any economic climate for that matter, is spend tens of thousands of dollars on a phone system. With Hosted VoIP, there are no large servers or systems to purchase. Other than phones, there are no capital expenditures to depreciate over time. All you have is an affordable monthly service fee that connects your business and employees to a host of capabilities that dramatically improve productivity.
Continuity
Let’s assume a worst case scenario: Your building is flooded. Now, let’s assume you have Hosted VoIP. Want to know how things would be? Business would go on––uninterrupted. Since no physical box resides on your premises––it resides in redundant and secure data centers––customers can still connect with your business because employees can work from anywhere.
Focus
With a Hosted VoIP solution, the management of increasingly complex business communications is done for you off-site. It all happens in the background while your employees utilize advanced features and productivity tools like voice, video, and wireless to take up new goals and take down obstacles that stand in their way.
Minimal IT
Unlike the complex traditional phone systems that sit in a closet, Hosted VoIP requires very little IT support or training to administer. You can quickly add users, delete users, enable additional features––all without additional support or staff. The reason? A simple web interface. In fact, a Hosted VoIP solution is so simple and intuitive, users can manage their own features right from their computers.
Productivity
Whether attacking issues from a desk, a conference room, or powering through meetings on the road, Hosted VoIP gives companies the powerful communications features they need to keep things moving forward no matter where or when business is done.
Scalability
If resources become squeezed, you can quickly scale back. On the other hand, if you open a new branch office, or need to provide remote communications, or just need to prepare for a spike in demand around the holidays, it’s quick and easy to scale up without any disruption to your business.
