Traditional phone system or cloud? How to choose the right tool for your company
You’ve decided you need a professional business phone system for your
company
Maybe you’re just starting out and have realised that giving customers your mobile number isn’t ideal. Or perhaps you’re simply tired of all the problems you’ve been having with your current phone system.
So you start searching online and find yourself trawling through hundreds of confusing results. Or you seek advice from your friend who runs her own business, but she isn’t 100% satisfied with her current phone system either.
“Those business phone systems are all the same” she adds.
But are they really?
Of course not – as you’ll find out below. But first things first.
What Is The ‘Cloud’?
The ‘cloud’ is a system of remote servers that allow you to use services via the internet. The cloud forms the basis for all kinds of applications and platforms, such as Netflix, WhatsApp or your email account.
Cloud technologies offer three key advantages:
- No additional hardware is required, so they don’t take up extra space
- Zero maintenance and repair costs
- Services and applications can be accessed and used anywhere
So… what is a cloud business phone
system?
A cloud business phone system operates using cloud technology and delivers all the benefits that internet-based services have to offer.
Imagine you’re expecting a call from a customer and you need to leave your desk to finish some work.
What do you do? Give them your mobile number and risk appearing unprofessional or being called at weekends?
This problem does not arise with a cloud business phone system!
…because you can take the company phone number with you wherever you go. All you need is a smartphone and an internet connection.
Sounds pretty handy, doesn’t it? …Particularly now that working from the office has become rather complicated.
Traditional business phone system vs cloud business phone system
Here you can see what’s required to install a traditional business phone system. It’s quite complex, especially if something goes wrong.
This image shows you what’s involved in setting up a cloud business phone
system.
Cloud vs Traditional business phone system
In a nutshell, the two systems differ in three major ways:
Traditional business phone systems:
- Hardware components that are often bulky, complicated and require regular upgrading
- High maintenance costs that fluctuate unpredictably
- Obsolescent technology that relies on local telecommunications infrastructure
Cloud phone systems :
- No hardware components (software as a service)
- Fixed costs that cover system maintenance and updates
- Advanced technology that simply requires an internet connection
The systems are also quite different in terms of customer support.
Obviously, there are lots of different cloud business phone systems available. It’s important to carefully weigh up your options because your phone system will have a major impact on your company’s sales, communication and customer service.
