The way that organisations work has changed exponentially in the last few months. COVID-19 caught the world massively off guard. Businesses of all size have been trying to ride the current crisis whilst proofing against potential future ones.
Organisations with on-premise phone systems have found that effectively working from home has been particularly challenging. Many sales teams have been using personal mobiles as work phone replacement. Many receptionists have tried and failed to transfer calls remotely; and most employees have resorted to asking customers to email them instead. With the remote working era looking likely to continue for some time, these risky workarounds could lead to loss of customers and some seriously unhappy employees.
A cloud-based phone solution could end these challenges both now and long-term. Cloud phone systems offer huge benefits for remote workers, save costs and simplify technology. Where you already use Microsoft Teams, integration with your cloud based phone solution can create an all-in-one communication solution.
Working remotely with Business Voice
Businesses already set-up for cloud-based telephony have transitioned to remote working fairly smoothly. Their business phone lines operate as normal, existing phone numbers remain the same and employees make and answer calls from anywhere, on any device.
Typical cloud based voice solutions also includes audio conferencing so customers, vendors and suppliers alike can join a meeting using a dial-in number. Headsets, desk phones and other devices can be added to enable a more seamless set-up.
Reducing costs
In an ROI-driven world, reducing costs spent on technology is a priority. Using a cloud-based phone system can eliminate PBX maintenance costs, reduce support hours and eradicate upgrade fees.
Streamlining technology
Cloud based Universal Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is the extension of cloud based telephony, integrating voice, video conferencing, chat and presences in a single solution. Simplifying technology making it easier for employees to use and easier for IT support to manage. Employees can enjoy a consistent experience across all devices without needing to switch between software or systems.
