[caption id="attachment_3483" align="alignright" width="300"] pbx phone system[/caption]A growing number of organizations are saying goodbye to their conventional analog premise-based PBX phone system, and hello to a cost-effective, feature-rich, and future-proofed hosted cloud phone system.Here are the key reasons why they’re saying farewell to their premise-based system -- and not looking back:Excessive up-front costs: premise-based PBX systems are expensive to purchase, install and maintain. For many small and mid-sized businesses, the CapEx burden is prohibitive, and for larger organizations it’s unjustifiable.No cost certainty: the cost of operating a premise-based PBX system is based on usage (regular calling along with long-distance costs)....

When it comes to making wise investments, organizations need to borrow a page from the consumer playbook and “get the most for the least.”This doesn’t necessarily mean getting the cheapest price. It means that organizations need to assess their needs, conduct marketplace research, evaluate potential solutions, and select the one that delivers the most long-term value.However, just like consumers, sometimes organizations can mistakenly head in the other direction: getting the least for the most. And since this unfortunate fact doesn’t come to light until after a purchase decision is made, organizations in this situation are forced to absorb the excess...

A few decades ago, fax machines roamed freely on the business landscape: and it was good. Actually, it was groundbreaking. The idea of transmitting an exact facsimile of a document to anyone in the world — and within a matter of seconds — was incredible. Indeed, if you build a time machine and head back to circa 1988, you’ll be greeted by an orchestra of screeching fax machines (don’t worry, it’s a screech of joy, not of pain). Well, here we are about to enter the third decade of the 21st century, and traditional fax machines are few and far between....

In today’s hyper-competitive business landscape, satisfying and impressing customers — both prospective and current — isn’t just important: it’s essential. In fact, a study by Walker Information concluded that by the year 2020, customer experience will be the number one brand differentiator in the minds of customers — surpassing traditional factors such as product and price.In other words, within a couple of years the vast majority of customers in both B2C and B2B spaces will knowingly, willingly, and happily pay more for something from a business than they could from its competitors, provided they feel as though they’re getting great...

In life, there are signs that alert us to potential trouble — and if we’re attentive and wise, we heed these warnings and avoid bigger problems in the future.For example, our car may be sluggish and sputtering, and pleading with us for a tune up or some preventative maintenance. And our bodies often tell us through various aches and pains that we need to dial things down and take a break — or else a break may be thrust upon us.Now, what does this have to do with telecommunications? It’s this: businesses also receive warning signs that their conventional landline...

Let’s start with this: telecommunications fraud isn't new. Since phone systems were invented centuries ago, there has always been a very small — but not insignificant, and certainly not harmless — segment of the population that has sought to exploit them, in order to benefit improperly or illegally.Growing Costs  However, what has changed in recent years is the growing cost and prevalence of telecommunications fraud. A recent survey by the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA), a not-for-profit global education organization, pegged worldwide telecommunications fraud losses in 2017 at $29.2 billion. The CFCA also listed the top 10 methods that fraudsters...

One of the most critical objectives for all businesses — regardless of whether they are dynamic new startups or large established enterprises — is business continuity.That’s because productivity grinds to a halt when workers cannot instantly connect and collaborate, and customers who fail to reach their desired party — or who do not receive a prompt callback after leaving a message — are likely to head to a more responsive competitor. Business continuity is not just an important priority: it is a mission critical objective. Fortunately, that’s where cloud phone systems enter the picture and make a transformative difference.Below, we...

While cloud business phone systems are technologically advanced and innovative, the key factor that convinces thousands of businesses, schools and government organizations each year to make the switch from conventional landline systems is not a new concept. In fact, it’s about as “old school” as it gets, and has been a #1 business priority since, well, forever: they want to save money!Below, we highlight 5 ways that cloud business phone systems dramatically reduce costs — and not just on a one-time basis, but year after year:No on-site private branch exchange (PBX) to purchase and install.With a cloud business phone system,...
