If you have foresight, you’ll opt for complete hosted IP PBX over its traditional digital counterpart. Enterprises are now moving towards IP telephony and more and more businesses are making known their intentions of shifting to a hosted cloud service. A Microsoft study indicates that within the next 3 years, 39 percent of SMBs are expected to adopt cloud computing.
Scratch that. Hosted IP telephone service is not just a good option; it’s the best option right now. Here’s why:
Tomorrow’s forecast says so
If you have foresight, you’ll opt for complete hosted IP PBX over its traditional digital counterpart. Enterprises are now moving towards IP telephony and more and more businesses are making known their intentions of shifting to a hosted cloud service. A Microsoft study indicates that within the next 3 years, 39 percent of SMBs are expected to adopt cloud computing (source: TMCnet). An IBM study also shows that 60 percent of 3,000 global CIOs surveyed are moving to the cloud in the next five years. You’ll also be able to observe on your own that data storage has grown in capacity over the years. Sharply illustrating this is how abysmal and laughable 3 ½ floppy A seems now compared to 1 terabyte storage. It won’t be long before most of our data will be stored online. If you want to keep ahead of the game and avoid getting stuck with an obsolete phone system, choose a hosted IP phone service.
It’s the smarter move
If the idea that traditional PBX equals dinosaurs is too exaggerated for you to handle, the far superior benefits of Internet phone systems should convince you. Before you slam me on the superlatives, I’m sure that a minute of commonsense will lead you to the same conclusion. Internet fax, long distance PC to phone and PC to PC calls are definitely cheaper and more convenient (if not, someone please explain the popularity of Skype and Google Voice). We can also see that virtual meetings save you time, money and effort. Imagine smartphones, virtual lines, and tablets easily connecting to your communication system…this is exciting sci-fi stuff made real.
Undeniably, IP telephone service is a step-up from traditional phone services. Why go for less when you can have the best?
