In the news, you might've seen articles talking about the next steps for technology using words like ‘cloud’, ‘IoT’ or ‘5G’. We want to help demystify these terms and get you and your business prepared for the next big technological steps. Today, I’ll start with cloud.
What’s Cloud anyway?
When you hear the term ‘the cloud’ this refers to all the software and services hosted on servers across the world and accessed through the internet. Data stored on the cloud can be accessed with an internet connection which gives more flexibility compared to data saved locally (on a PC desktop for example). Running your calls over a cloud-based software is becoming a more common solution for businesses and there’s numerous advantages to switching over.
Reasons to switch to cloud-based calling
- More flexibility with where you answer your calls from, more relevant than ever with hybrid/remote working becoming the new normal.
- Less hardware and equipment required, meaning less time fiddling with phone systems and more time talking to customers.
- Ability to add more features to your phone system through the software, allowing you to flex to your business needs.
