Cloud phone systems are the latest trend in business telephony, moving physical equipment out of your hands and into the Cloud. It is convenient, space-efficient, and cost-effective. If you are unfamiliar with Cloud telephony or Voice over Internet Protocol, here are some of the key ways such a system benefits your business financially.

How Does a Cloud Phone System Save My Company Money?

1. No Hardware Costs

Prior to the advent of Cloud-based telephony, businesses were faced with upfront hardware costs to install an effective phone system. In addition to auto-attendant hardware, such systems required multiple lines and switches, as well as the trunking equipment needed to connect it to public lines. All these expenses can be avoided by choosing a Cloud phone system instead of installing one on-site.

2. No Maintenance Costs

Phone system failures lead to downtime and maintenance costs. By relegating your phone hardware to the Cloud and leasing it as a service, you no longer have to deal with the cost of repairs, the need to pay for upgrades, or the expense of managing a team to handle these upgrades. In addition to cost savings, you enjoy the convenience that comes from leaving maintenance tasks to others.

3. No Calling Fees

Landline services still charge long-distance fees for phone calls out of your home district. Cloud phone systems, on the other hand, connect callers via the internet and thus face no LD calling charges. If your company does a lot of business out of state or out of the country, you can save a considerable amount on long distance fees by switching to Cloud service.
