Title: Why Cloud Telephony is the Future for Any Sized Business

Why Cloud Telephony Systems are the Future of
Office Communication
  • Go 2 Market India Pvt. Ltd.

Brief Description
  • Today, wherever you go people are discussing
    about Cloud and Cloud Apps. And now you can
    include cloud telephone systems to that list.
    But, what exactly does that mean, and for what
    reason do we think it might be your future.

Know about Cloud Telephone System
  • The nerd answer is that Cloud telephone system
    marry a couple of things Cloud computing, Voice
    over IP (VoIP) and portable (Mobile)
    applications.
  • The business answer is that organizations, Small
    or large, would now be able to pay for their
    telephone services on a monthly basis (per user
    or per line) and not need to worry over managing
    the hardware and keeping it up to date. It also
    means that as organizations are trying to work
    out how to effortlessly support mobile or
    teleworking, they can do it much more effectively.

Short History of Phone Systems
  • PBX (Traditional telephone systems) were
    originally based on restrictive hardware. This
    was because a lot of functionality was in the
    hardware and the expectation was that these
    systems were bulletproof and always stayed
    running. These systems would remain in service
    for 8 or more years. And they were strong and
    reliable. We have had few examples of customers
    who had to power their systems down, due to
    building power changes, and nobody had a clue how
    to turn off the PBX as they had been running
    for 15 years unattended. So that is the legacy of
    traditional telephone systems.

5
And then VOIP Came
  • Over the last 10 to 15 years the manufacturers
    moved to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
    systems.  VoIP was an approach to accept
    traditional telephone calls and run them over a
    data network. This meant that your telephones
    were now directly connected to your data network.
    And the software now runs on off the self
    computer servers. So less restrictive hardware.
  • The upside of this is that the telecommunications
    system turns out to be a part of your data
    centre and is managed like everything else on
    your data network. This is awesome if you have
    the staff, but not so much for smaller
    businesses. Another impact is that the servers
    and information network switches tend to be
    upgraded more frequently say every 3 years
    than the 8 or more years of traditional systems.
    This is because we are used to upgrading
    computers and switches to get the newer,
    speedier, more powerful versions. It can also
    require more care and feeding than the
    traditional, bulletproof hardware. So, the
    flexibility gained is traded off against higher
    expenses to manage and maintain these systems
    over time.

Cloud Computing Changes the Landscape
  • More recently we have seen Cloud Computing change
    the landscape for some applications. Often we are
    not thinking of these as cloud applications as
    they are so omnipresent. From Dropbox (for cloud
    data storage) to note taking applications like
    Evernote to Project Management applications to
    Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
    frameworks almost any software application can
    be run on a server in a data centre or the Cloud.
    This is also true of telephone systems.

Flexibility Reigns
  • Here's the immense thing. With Cloud Telephone
    Systems, flexibility is expanded while the cost
    to deal with all the servers and applications
    goes down. Presently you can access that service
    from anyplace office, home, cell phone, bistro.
    Anywhere.

There are Still a Few Things to Consider
  • The voice calling quality is still important and
    a key part of how people will measure your
    business. It may still be the front door of your
    business. Telephony communication is a real-time
    application and requires setting up to guarantee
    voice quality. While we can pardon relatively
    poor quality on a mobile phone, people expect
    higher quality on their business telephone. This
    is no different to a VoIP system on premises yet
    it is still a consideration if you are changing
    over from a traditional system. This can be
    managed if you utilize a provider that has had
    experience with VoIP systems.
  • The security of your data network, as now it also
    impacts your telephone system. Again, this can be
    managed by a provider who thinks about these
    things.

But Cloud Offers Some Seriously Great Advantages
  • As mentioned before the ability to access
    communications based capabilities from almost
    anyplace has increased, without complicated
    hardware and integration to support. A softphone
    application on a cell phone provides you a chance
    to connect and talk as if you were on the same
    system because you are.
  • If you are moving to a cloud telephony system you
    can begin the set up and arrangement before
    switching off your old system. So no gaps in
    service.
  • If you are moving a location you can have the new
    system set up and can even be using it at your
    present location to test it before migrating.
  • Cloud Telephony solution is here to stay.  It
    will continue to be adopted as customers see the
    value in a monthly paid service that offloads the
    cost of being a telephone company or data
    networking company so you can concentrate on your
    business.
