Cloud telephony leverages the power of the cloud to handle voice and data services, transforming how companies manage their communication infrastructure. 

Understanding cloud telephony

What is cloud telephony?

Cloud telephony — often called hosted telephony or cloud-based telephony — is a communication system that operates through the Internet rather than traditional phone lines.

What are the benefits of cloud telephony?

Scalable communication

Cloud telephony is highly scalable, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a startup, SME or large enterprise, you can easily adjust the number of phone lines and features as your needs change.

Remote work enablement

Cloud telephony enables seamless communication for remote teams. Employees can make and receive calls from anywhere via the Internet, fostering collaboration and productivity.

Cost-effective solution

Cloud telephony eliminates the need to invest in hardware and equipment, allowing businesses to cut expenses while accessing advanced communication features.

Enhanced customer experience

Cloud telephony empowers businesses with advanced call routing and IVR systems. Calls are efficiently routed to the best departments or agents, so customers experience improved customer satisfaction.

Analytics and insights

Cloud telephony systems often have built-in analytics and reporting features. Businesses can gain insights into call patterns, customer behaviour, and agent performance, so you can improve your processes.

Integration capabilities

Many cloud telephony providers offer Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that allow seamless integration with other business tools such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, helpdesk systems, and marketing automation platforms.

How is cloud telephony useful for businesses today?

Flexibility and mobility

With cloud telephony services such as RingCentral, businesses can free themselves from the limitations of physical phone systems. Employees can use their smartphones, laptops, or any internet-enabled device to access their business phone lines. This flexibility enhances mobility and ensures constant connectivity.

Business continuity

Traditional phone systems are vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural disasters or technical issues. Cloud telephony provides built-in redundancy and disaster recovery measures, ensuring uninterrupted communication even in challenging situations.
