WHAT IS A CLOUD BASED TELEPHONE SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKS

cloud-based telephone VoIP System

A cloud-based telephone system (Voice over Internet Protocol commonly known as VoIP) lets businesses make telephone calls via the internet by converting the voice signal from a standard telephone into a digital signal. The digital signal travels over the internet and then converts back to the standard telephone. VoIP service customers can make and receive calls worldwide through the internet at no extra cost.

​

What are the advantages of VoIP?

​

  • Reduced communication operating cost.

  • Eliminate the capital outlay of installing and maintaining a standard telephone system.

  • Reduce or eliminate the need to employ staff to maintain the communications system.

  • Enable teleworking, remote working and home offices from anywhere. Nationally, internationally, and globally.

  • Engage innovative technologies such as voicemail to email, fax to email and follow me technology.

  • Employees and companies can be truly mobile as the work telephone can be disconnected and reconnected anywhere it's required.

  • With cloud-based systems, there is no maintenance or hardware, other than IP phones. The service provider houses, maintains, and upgrades all the PBX technology.

  • The cloud offers growing businesses the opportunity to easily add new lines and provides quick access to new features.

  • Maintenance issues are the responsibility of the service provider.

  • VoIP offers greater flexibility as the traditional telephone network is inflexible. When a new telephone is required with VoIP a new telephone can be added to the network with the standard telephone system new extensions must be created and patched into the PBX system.
