Update your company’s phone system into the cloud for better affordability and efficiency.
While in-office work has started to come back into its routine, working at home is likely to be the new normal in many instances across the world. In either location, your company members need to be able to communicate with each other and with customers efficiently with no technical hiccups. While video conferencing and live chat services are two forms of virtual communication today, cloud phone systems are also becoming more beneficial than ever.
How Does a Cloud Phone System Work?
A cloud phone system works within a private branch exchange (PBX) using IP phones and SIP trunking technology. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a type of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), which describes the technology of making phone calls over the Internet. SIP trunking replaces expensive Primary Rate Interface (PRI) lines and enables businesses to make simultaneous but separate calls through one network.
If you work within a private cloud, you can include your cloud phone system into this virtual network and keep yet another fantastic communication service within the same sphere. You will need a host for the system, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), OVHCloud, or Microsoft Azure. A commercial IT solutions provider like Axus Technologies can help advise you on your decision.
Benefits of Cloud Phone Systems
Perhaps the greatest benefit of cloud phone systems is the lower cost. With today’s virtual phone technology, you can cut costs by up to 80%. Your telework and interoffice calls are free, while long-distance calls can be cheaper. Many services offer access to your SIP channels on demand, with the flexibility to grow over time. This system is also quick and easy to install, and, with 3CX in particular, you can manage your IP phones and firmware within a unified system. Updates are automatic.
Other perks that come with cloud phone systems include video conferencing and mobile applications through Android and iOS VoIP apps. This technology facilitates remote presentations, meetings, training, and so on as could never be done before. Remote workers can make and join calls on their smartphones using a business number, keeping personal phone info private.
