A VoIP / cloud phone system offers functionality that can help your business and provide flexibility and freedom in ways you didn’t know existed.
A cloud phone system / VoIP offers functionality that many small businesses overlook. Make sure you reap the rewards of partnering with the right Cloud phone provider.
Advantages abound in using a cloud phone system yet a lot of small businesses overlook some of the service’s most valuable features. While they all have the typical features such as call waiting, voicemail, toll free numbers, call forwarding, and ability to operate the system remotely, you’ll find a host of other features that can help your small business, with the right provider, and the right guidance from a skilled Toronto IT services provider (like US!) who have relationships with the most reputable cloud phone providers.
It’s Easy
It’s very straightforward adding and changing users, assigning phones, and managing staff extensions and groups. All this can be done from your staff’s own computers and smartphones from anywhere at any time. With easy self-administration, you remove the need to pay your IT support or phone technician to make changes.
Employees Can Use Their Personal Phones
For a lot of businesses today, allowing employees to bring their own mobile devices to work is not only a convenience, but a financial necessity. Your staff don’t want to lug around 2 phones – 1 for work and one for personal. Yet the security risk in allowing personal mobile devices into your company operations is daunting.
A VoIP / cloud computing mobile app will integrate an employee’s mobile device into your business’ cloud phone system. With the mobile app, your employees can make company calls using your business phone number (not their personal number), check voicemail, send and receive faxes and text messages, and access your company directory. They can even initiate or join in on conference calls and meetings online. And because they are using their VoIP business number and not their personal number, they maintain a unified business identity.
