Cloud VoIP Provider: What is it and how can it help my business?

What is a Cloud VoIP provider?

I’ve talked fairly extensively about VoIP and its benefits, as well as the ways in which such a system can maximise your business potential. Do you know the difference between premises-based VoIP and a cloud VoIP provider, though? Could you confidently make a decision regarding telecommunications without hearing about both systems side by side? It’s incredibly important to do all you can for your business, and this means analysing the types of technology available to you before choosing one over the other. Please read on…

What is a cloud VoIP provider and how can it help my business?

You know what a VoIP provider is, of course. It’s the company that supplies and manages your Voiceover Internet Protocol communication system, ensuring that your business is always in touch with those it needs to be. Now, there are two types of VoIP that you’ll be looking at. While one is premises-based, using hardware that is sorted on site, the other is remote, connecting your entire telephone system via the Internet. This is cloud-based VoIP, and it’s an incredibly flexible, and useful, thing for a business such as yours to have.

So, why is this?

The benefits of a Cloud VoIP Provider

While a premises-based VoIP system will often incur an initial set-up cost and be free thereafter, a cloud-based VoIP would be free to install and charged at a monthly rate. This makes it much easier to factor the cost of communication into your budget, as you’ll be aware what is due and when. In addition, when you’re hosted via the cloud the cost of maintenance is included in your monthly tariff, whereas you would be entirely responsible for your own costs should you choose to keep your servers onsite. This can lead to a nasty shock if anything goes wrong. Not convinced? A cloud-based VoIP system won’t need to be upgraded or updated as your business grows; in fact, it grows with you. This is a level of scalability that can’t be argued with, and is something to be considered regardless of whether you’re just setting out, or would like to expand. Do you want more? Okay! A cloud-based VoIP system is flexible, it’s secure, and it can be used to connect multiple offices. In fact, you can conduct business from wherever you are, and know that your carbon footprint has been dramatically reduced.

Your communication is our priority; a cloud VoIP provider will do all it can to talk you through the benefits of such a system, help you to choose the right packages to suit your business’s requirements, and support your business as it grows; we’re not going to set you up and send you on your way, but ensure that everything is working for you every minute of that business day.
