What Are Cloud Based Phone Systems?

Cloud based phone systems are a hosted VoIP phone solution which allows you to make calls over the internet. Cloud hosted PBX systems are secure and reliable, with a slew of flexible features and settings. Since it costs less to implement and support, cloud phone service often comes with a large price drop as well. For many companies, the need to switch is clear right off the bat.

How Do Cloud Based Phone Systems Work?

A cloud PBX is a type of voice over IP system, so it uses your internet as a conduit to run voice data to and from your phones in real time. To access the system, you need only log in. The portal address and your account info can usually be obtained from your ITSP, or internet telephony service provider. By design, cloud PBX allows you to approve multiple access points.

In this way, you can manage your cloud phone system from any authorized device, should you choose to do so. If you’re out of the office, but still want to receive your calls, this allows you to do it. This type of flexible connectivity is just one of the many perks of using a cloud based phone system.

The role of business VoIP providers is to store, route and automate the voice calls, data, and settings of your cloud PBX. They ensure your voice calls come and go without a hitch. Additionally, your provider takes care of quality of service, which impacts service level and call clarity.

Is a Cloud Based Phone System Right for My Business?

Most likely. That is, if you want to save time and money. If so, a cloud based phone system is the way to go.

Of course, change is often prompted by necessity. At some point, a cog in the machine will need to be repaired or replaced, at the very least. In the world of hosted PBX, three of the most common reasons companies move their PBX to the cloud are:

  • Equipment has reached “end of life,” which means the manufacturer does not offer updates and support for that system anymore.
  • The current system does not have enough features or options.
  • A cloud phone system costs less, with a quick return on investment.

The costs and time to have an IT provider select and set up a new PBX once your on-premise system conks out are high. Not to mention, downtime from an unexpected disaster could be a big problem for, and even a detriment to, your business.

Cloud based telephone systems use far less equipment, so there are not as many break points to worry about. Since it is cloud based, your system can be managed, updated and maintained by a remote support team. Software upgrades, such as new features and bug fixes, are rolled out on a regular basis. All this at a huge savings to your company. The boss will be so proud!

The long and short of it is, the business world is moving toward cloud based phone systems, and fast! It is a great solution for any company, large or small. We hope this article helps you to learn more about it and make the best decision for your business.

How Cloud Based Phone Systems Support Business Continuity

When a customer cannot reach your business, they do not stop to think there might be an issue with a third party service provider. That’s why it is important for your business to receive calls no matter what. Our cloud based phone service is designed to provide your business with the most reliable and high-end service on the market.

Cloud phone service uses a redundant server setup to ensure you can keep receiving calls even if there is a service outage. We simply reroute your calls to another line or mobile number. In this way, you can be sure your customers can still make calls to your business. Best of all, they will never know your system was down in the first place.

Are Cloud Based Phone Systems Secure?

Yes, they are so long as you have a good cloud phone service provider. Since they manage your cloud based phone system, your ITSP is in charge of securing it.

Is It Time For an Upgrade?

If you are still using a landline or on premise PBX, your business may be suffering. Many business owners do not know just how much a poor quality phone system can impact business. Some common issues include:

  • Latency and jitter make it hard to get things done
  • Dropped calls keep customers on the fence
  • Service outages stop calls from coming in
  • High phone bills are a waste of money

In general, business owners are wise to invest in a cloud based phone system. Whether you are a small-scale business, a remote entrepreneur, a startup or a large corporation, it is a powerful decision that will improve office communication. Of course, large companies will see more efficient multi site coordination as well.

How Cloud Based Phone Service Stacks Up

Cloud Based Phone Systems vs On Premise PBX

On premise PBX is a fancy name for a traditional PBX system. While cloud PBX is internet based, on premise PBX is location based. Calls made with premise based PBX systems connect calls through a physical server, which is stored on site.

On premise systems and equipment are managed in-house. This means your data never leaves your location, which some business owners see as a major upside. However, costs for equipment and hiring a qualified IT provider to manage and maintain your system tend to make this phone system a much more expensive option. One which small business owners may find too much to swallow.

Cloud Phone Systems vs Traditional Phone Lines

Conventional landlines require a large upfront cost for hardware, as well as long term contracts with a good amount of fine print. Many companies become stuck in the wake of added fees for upgrades, support and early termination. Most importantly, they are much less flexible when it comes time to grow your business.

Cloud PBX is very simple to implement, with no extra cost to manage or fix your system. As for scalability, you can add or remove cloud phone service at any time, with ease. Best of all, upgrades and support are free.
