5 Reasons why a Hosted VoIP Telephone System is Critical for Small Businesses
If you’re a small business in a big pond and you’re looking for a way to improve your prospects, it’s essential you consider swapping your current telecommunication systems for a hosted VoIP telephone system. Unconvinced? Here are five reasons why making such a move could give your business bags of potential…
1. To compete with other businesses
If you’re still running your business’s communication via a private branch exchange you may have a service that’s ‘good enough’, but you won’t be able to compete with bigger businesses, or those that have already made the switch. Your service may lag, it may crackle, and you may find it difficult to keep track of clients and customers; hardly ideal for operating a business. A hosted VoIP telephone system is reliable, easy to install, and crystal clear. It will also incorporate your computers, mobile phones, tablets, networks, and CRM systems to create a fully integrated system. It’s time to play catch up.
2. To save money
In the same vein as being able to keep up with bigger, or more technologically advanced companies, a hosted VoIP telephone system will allow you to expand your business. After all, if you’re spending less on communication and networks you will be able to pour money into other resources and projects instead. As a small business it is essential to monitor your cash flow, keep a tab on assets, and to know exactly where money is going. A business VoIP phone system will allow all of this, and more, as well as being incredibly cost-effective.
3. To improve efficiency and productivity
Regardless of how big your company is you should always be looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity, and to fulfill your business ambitions. Integrating your communicative systems into one will reduce mistakes, help you to catch and track lost calls, and to store data like never before. You may also find that your staff engages with the new technology far better than previous systems, giving your team the motivation to succeed too.
4. To support expansion
Some communication systems just aren’t built to support growth, or ambition. A hosted VoIP telephone system can be as big or small as you need it to be, meaning that it will support and grow with your business across the years. There’s no need to re-install expensive hardware either, as a hosted system is online; now there’s no excuse for your business not to push further.
5. It’s virtually disaster-proof
Natural disasters such as fires and floods, and targeted attacks, can mean the end of things for small businesses, as they are often without the capability to recover, or afford new technology to pick up where they left off. A hosted VoIP telephone system is stored within the cloud, so you’ll be able to resume business regardless what has happened to the rest of the office. Mobile phones can be connected too, allowing fantastic remote access from wherever you are in the world.
