It is clear that cloud telephony is becoming an increasingly popular option for businesses, both small and large. This is because it is an efficient and affordable way to fulfill your telephony needs.
One of the biggest benefits of cloud telephony is that it helps cut costs. In this blog post, we discuss how cloud telephony can help your business pay up to 60% less on your phone bills.
- No big investment
You don't have to purchase expensive hardware. Instead, you pay a monthly fee to access the cloud-based telephony service. As a result, you don't have to make large investments in expensive PBXs or phones. As a result, you can easily switch to cloud telephony at no extra cost.
- Pay only what you need
Instead of paying for a landline (ISDN lines), you only pay for the call minutes used. This means you don't have to spend money on unused calling minutes. On average, SMEs save up to 60% on their calling costs as a result.
- Scalable
As your business grows, it can easily add more users to your cloud telephony service. This eliminates the need to invest in additional capatility of your PBX or phones. This can be a significant cost savings for fast-growing businesses.
- Ideal for telecommuting
With cloud telephony, your employees can be reached wherever they work, in the office or at home. This allows you to save on office space or transportation costs, for example. Moreover, with cloud telephony you can also easily video call and chat with employees, customers, or suppliers from any location with an Internet connection.
- Integrations with other software
As a final important point, you can also integrate a cloud PBX with other software, such as your CRM system. This allows you to work a lot more efficiently because your employees don't have to retype information from different systems. In addition, it also helps improve your customer service by giving employees quick access to customer data.
Cloud telephony cost overview
Below is an overview of common monthly prices for cloud telephony. This price includes everything from the cloud PBX along with support services.
Of course, every company is different, but you can use the costs below as a general rule of thumb.
- 1 - 5 users: €54 per month
- 6 - 12 users: €104 per month
- 13 - 24 users: €164 per month
- 25 - 50 users: €234 per month
Do you have more than 50 users? Then a custom price is required.
Finally, cloud telephony also offers greater reliability and continuity of service. If there are problems with the traditional telephone system, it can lead to interruptions in your company's accessibility. With cloud telephony, these problems are less likely because the telephony service is hosted on remote servers.
Moreover, if there are problems with a specific location, employees can simply call from another location or from their cell phone using their landline business number.
