What are cloud phone systems?
The term ‘cloud’ effectively just means the internet. So, cloud phone systems can be understood as virtual storage spaces in the internet, which allow for the sharing of files through a central network. These systems have transformed the way we rely on accessing content and our needs when it comes to data storing.
Cloud systems are provided by various different providers including Google, Microsoft 365, One Drive with the main aim of being able to provide ease of access, unlimited storage capabilities and security for your files.
The last two years have seen a sharp rise in the use of cloud phone systems with VEEAM’s report suggesting that 96% organisations have accelerated their cloud usage in the last 12 months. We are seeing cloud phone systems becoming a more popular option for many of our customers and with the rise of remote working it is likely that the use of the cloud is only going to increase.
So, what are the benefits?
We are seeing customers incorporating cloud phone systems for a range of reasons, for both personal and business uses, but some of the core benefits include:
- The ability to edit and share documents easily
- A fully integrated communications system
- An uncomplicated way of co-working and collaborating with users on files and content
- Unlimited storage capacity
- The cloud provides a safe way of backing up your files and data
- An easy way of teams to work remotely and from multiple locations as well as allowing for cross-team working environments
- For small businesses cloud phones systems can be a great way of managing communications in a more cost effective and efficient way
