Moving from on-premises to a cloud communication solution can often be a complicated process for small businesses. Although the benefits of cloud may seem clear, smaller businesses such as a local schools, legal or medical offices often have a few difficult considerations they need to face before choosing the right public cloud communication solution:
Considerations…
- Can you migrate easily to the cloud solution?
- Can you simplify everything and get a single, predictable bill?
- Do you benefit from an all-in-one application that can run on any platform?
- Can you smoothly expand as business grows with system management troubles?
- How can you keep your solution current?
Let us investigate these points and highlight the benefits of cloud communication:
- A smooth migration that optimises what you currently have: A cloud communication solution means there is no on-premises hardware to install or maintain as the provider manages it for you. A smooth migration will allow you to optimise existing telephony while modernising your current business phone systems.
- Streamlines payments and eliminates hidden costs: One of the best benefits of a cloud communication solution is the cost advantage. You only ever pay for the services that you use, meaning you can streamline, easily predict and control payments without surprises and hassle.
- No communications sprawl: On-premises phone systems fall short of offering a unified communications experiences that encompasses everything employees need to do their jobs well. With a unified cloud communications system, employees can make and receive calls, chat with co-workers, join meetings, collaborate, share files and manage tasks, all from one application.
- Easily expand as business grows: Growth in the cloud is effortless, allowing you to scare up and down with no limits across multiple sites. No hardware capacity is required, administrators simply use a management dashboard to make changes and securely monitor business communications.
- No need to regularly update phone systems: Consistently updating your phone systems costs money, a lot of planning and scheduling to minimise business disruption. A cloud communication solution is consistently up-to-date, automatically and with brand new features each time.
