Cloud-Based Phone Systems Let Small Businesses Play Big
There are many options to communicate with employees, customers, and vendors via text, email, and the use of all the available messengers in the marketplace. These are all incredible business tools, but should they be considered the primary contact instruments for employees and customers in today's world? No. As antiquated as it may seem—the phone is still King. When it comes to customer service, studies show that consumers prefer to talk to a human being. Internally, communication by business phone enables everyone to have a dedicated channel for getting business done and handling all challenges.

The YOGA of Phone Systems - Flexibility
Flexibility is key. Unlike traditional onsite hosted phone systems, a cloud-based phone system is built and managed in the cloud. It can stand alone as a single communication device offering high-quality phone service with a decreased chance of disruption but can easily integrate with other technologies such as:
● Messaging
● Video conferencing
● File sharing
A delay in replies or poor communication quality will negatively impact your business.
A cloud-based phone system allows for greater freedom and flexibility because it can be accessed from anywhere, allowing employees to work at home, another office, or anywhere else in the world and yet give the appearance to customers that they are operating right out of the office.
Cloud-based phone systems can operate anywhere, regardless of location
A cloud-based phone system also offers such features such as:
● Phone Presence: With phone presence, you can quickly identify whether an employee is on their desk phone, mobile phone, actively on a call, or unavailable to take the call and route it to someone else to assist customers.
● Find me-follow me: Customers dial one number and the cloud-based system will route calls to employees no matter where they are in the world, whether they're traveling, telecommuting, or working from another location.

A cloud-based multi-line phone system not only offers greater flexibility but savings with:
● Low cost: Cloud-based system requires limited equipment cost to get started and zero additional charge if you need to add or remove a line.
● Zero Maintenance cost: With a hosted PBX, all maintenance and upgrades are handled by vendor eliminating the cost and putting less financial strain on IT departments.
● No Contracts: Unlike traditional phone systems, you can cancel at any time.
