Top Four Reasons Why Businesses Should Consider Cloud Communications

Top Four Reasons Why Businesses Should Consider Cloud Communications

In this highly connected world where customers increasingly expect you to answer their call from virtually anywhere, at any time, the power of VoIP offers next-generation business communication tools to support all your emerging needs.

Why should you consider replacing your antiquated phone system with a future-proofed cloud communications solution?

Improved Communications to Build Your Business

Cloud communication services enable the same sophisticated audio and video capabilities as even the largest players in your industry. A hosted solution allows access to modern applications like virtual audio attendant and Unified Communications, or products like voice, chat, data, technologies, and more that integrate with your phone. Companies with cloud communications improve customer service, employee productivity, and customer connections.

Unified Communications decreases the complexity of integrating and coordinating a wide range of communications channels, networks, systems, and applications by uniting them under a single interface so employees can better collaborate to work more productively. What’s more, with Unified Communications, businesses can now contract all their communications needs from a single provider with one invoice as opposed to sourcing multiple vendors. According to an Inc. Magazine research study on the benefits of Unified Communications, 67% of user organizations reported increased mobile worker productivity and faster problem resolution. Adopting the latest business communication applications transforms the way you do business and keeps your company on the cutting edge for a better, more collaborative experience with customers and employees.

Scalable Services That Grow With You

VoIP is highly scalable and saves you money by

•  Eliminating the need to predict the future and pay for services not currently required by your business. Instead, you can choose only the hosted services and features you want right now.

•  Providing added cost-efficiency with the ability to immediately scale up or down at the drop of a dime, depending on your specific requirements.

•  Automate the upgrade process with contracted services, so your business benefits from using the latest cutting edge technology at all times. 

Lower Costs

Ever hear of the idiom of throwing good money after bad? That’s what you are doing when trying to maintain an outdated phone system. Often, the investment in upgrades and service does not generate an appropriate return on investment. For many small businesses and especially startups, a premise-based phone system with its hardware upgrades and maintenance fees simply isn’t practical.

Eliminating the need for onsite technicians, phone lines, maintenance fees and surcharges for advanced capabilities, business class phone services can drastically reduce costs—by up to 40% over traditional phone services. Owned and operated by the provider, transitioning to a hosted phone solution involves minimal capital investment. And as calls run through the Internet, you don’t pay for additional equipment to connect workers at home and different locations.

As an added benefit, you get just one phone bill from a single cloud service provider each month as usages plans are shared across the corporation. No longer must you predict future business needs nor deal with the complexity of working with multiple vendors. Cloud communications provides your business with a streamlined and lower-cost enterprise-wide solution, allowing you to allocate those resources to other critical business areas.

Unparalleled Business Continuity

Smooth communications are the lifeline of any organization. Without them, you interrupt business continuity. So, what happens in the event of a power outage or emergency? Unlike traditional phone systems that rely on power for connectivity, business class cloud communications and hosted voice services continue to operate even when other services are down.

If weather makes traveling to the office dangerous or difficult, employees can leverage VoIP capabilities at home to reroute calls and manage phone traffic. Traditional telephone systems fail to simulate office communications at home. In a worst-case scenario of a fire or other disaster at an office location, on-premise systems could be permanently damaged while a cloud communications solution continues to support you during the event and through your recovery.

When planning a business continuity strategy, companies should consider business class cloud communications as a critical component. While most businesses don’t know costs related to defective phone services, the reality is that any unanswered call is potentially lost business that might never be recovered.

To maximize the benefits of transitioning to a cloud based solution, partner with a company that offers high-quality cloud communication solutions to help you enhance agility, increase employee productivity, reduce operating expenses and gain a competitive advantage.
