What Is a Cloud-Based Phone System?
The entire world is going digital and business communication is not an exception. Nowadays, companies of all levels implement cloud phone systems to benefit from more efficient, reliable, and cost-cutting interactions with their clients. In contrast to traditional phone systems, cloud-based phone telephony, also called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), uses the internet to route calls. As the name suggests, this solution is based in the cloud, usually hosted by a third-party provider like Tregroup, which means it’s not tied to any physical location and doesn’t require any expensive and cumbersome hardware. This allows companies to quickly add or remove users from the system and scale up or down to match any company’s business needs.

It means that it’s possible to use this phone solution from anywhere in the world, the only requirement is a robust internet connection. Additionally, a cloud-based phone system offers many advanced features that are not supported by traditional telephony, such as call recording, CRM integration, video calling, interactive voice response (IVR), customer tickets, etc. This all helps improve overall business productivity and, as a result, achieve a seamless customer experience.

What is the difference between VoIP and cloud telephony?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and cloud telephony are often used interchangeably. However, there are some important distinctions between these two technologies. VoIP refers to any type of communication that is transmitted over an internet connection, including voice calling, video chats, and text messages. Cloud telephony is a type of VoIP service that is hosted in the cloud, or on remote servers. This means that users can access this service from any location with an internet connection. Cloud telephony is becoming increasingly popular nowadays since it eliminates the need for on-premise hardware, making the whole communication system more scalable, user-friendly, and cost-efficient.
How much does a cloud phone system cost?
In contrast to PBX phone systems, which require specialized expensive hardware, a dedicated server to manage the system and regular updates, cloud phone systems are significantly more cost-effective. Instead of traditional phone lines, they use the internet to make and receive calls. Moreover, cloud phone systems offer features that are not supported by traditional systems, such as call forwarding, voicemail, call recording, reporting, and more. Last but not least, when opting for cloud solutions, businesses free themselves from long-term expenses related to traditional systems, especially when it comes to the maintenance process which usually requires expertise and a highly professional technician. Overall, a cloud phone system is a flexible and affordable option for companies of any scale.
