So, ISDN’s (or integrated services digital network) are also known as PSTN (public switched telephone network) – who knew?
Dating back to the 1980’s they’re traditional phone lines which are already being phased out. High-definition VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocols) are the future and here’s why (and we promise we’ll try to lay off the jargon!)
VoIP Cost
One of the key benefits, is that it’s cheaper! Calls cost less with a VoIP system and because everything’s managed in the Cloud – there’s no initial outlay, up-front costs or management fees. You can also easily scale up or down depending on how many users you may need, as and when you need them.
VoIP Technology
We’ve worked with businesses (large and small), who have held off switching to a new system because they’re worried about the disruption it could cause.
That’s when we wish they’d spoken to us sooner to allay any fears because there really isn’t any disruption. You simply plug in the handset, download the app and you’re good to go. With us, we’ll hold your hand throughout the process, configure the system any way you need and answer any questions.
We know the old saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’ might put companies off from switching now especially if they don’t understand the tech involved but it couldn’t be easier.
You don’t have to be involved with the technicalities at all - we’ll do it for you as everything’s managed in the Cloud, so all the updates and maintenance are done remotely, taking the worry away from the older hardware you currently have in your cupboard.
Ease of Use and Flexibility
And if you’re worried about having to change your phone number – don’t – your existing numbers moves with you and because all calls are made and received over the internet, you can take calls wherever there’s an internet connection, that can be the office, at home or even on holiday (if you really wanted to.)
That also means that this system fully supports a hybrid working system where you’ve got staff based in the office as well as at home, or they work flexibly. And don’t worry about security – with ISO 2007 UK datacentres, your VoIP system is safe and secure.
We Can Help
We hope that helps explains the benefits of what a hosted phone system can give to you and your businesses. In a nutshell, it’s reliable, cost effective, flexible and secure. If you want to find out more and would like to chat to one of our team, please feel to give us a call or drop us an email.
