When it comes to phone systems, technology has changed a lot… and fast! More and more businesses are moving away from traditional on-premise phone systems, to cloud VOIP systems.
So what are the benefits of a VOIP hosted system? We’ll outline a few for you here.
- More cost-effective
Hosted systems can be very affordable – you usually pay per user, per month. The costs are much lower than the traditional “on the wall” phone system.
- More responsive
Closing early? Changing your trading hours? Just remembered that tomorrow is a public holiday? It’s easy to make changes to the settings on your phones – just login and update, or contact your phone people who can do it for you remotely. No more paying for expensive site visits!
- More “bells & whistles”
Although they’re affordable, even a simple hosted system can allow you to do some much more to manage your call flow. Create menus, direct calls after hours, create personal voicemail boxes for each user. Your phones will sound super professional to the caller. Even if you’re a very small business, you can sound like a big one!
- Make updates yourself
Intuitive and easy to use, hosted systems put the power back into your hands. If you don’t like contacting your phone techs each time you need a change made, you can log in and make the updates yourself. Easy!
- Cross-platform access
You and your staff can answer or transfer work calls on desk phones, laptops, or mobile apps. Take a call whenever and wherever you are! If your team is remote or hybrid, this is a great feature.
- Fast and easy to make the switch
Your small business can be set up with a cloud VOIP phone system much quicker than you think. It simply involves choosing a new provider, porting your phone numbers and connecting your new handsets or mobile “softphone” apps.
