1 Get the right communications toolkit to achieve business growth

2 The way your business communicates is changing. As businesses increasingly adopt more flexible ways of working, is it time for you to consider replacing your traditional phone system with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)? Here s our top 6 things to consider when reviewing your telephony.

3 1 Customer experience Think of your phone system as a key business tool. When customers call, are they offered multiple choices or a hunt group system that routes calls to the next available line? How often are calls lost within your system? Could your customer path be made easier? 2 Your workforce Is your phone system easy for your employees to use? Could colleagues communicate more efficiently with IP-based telephony? Integrating a new phone system could be a major culture change, so ensure your technology provider offers dedicated long-term support to your team.

4 3 Productivity 4 Cost Does your current system enable your staff to work productively? How quickly and easily can your employees contact each other? Could VoIP speed up internal communications and decision-making? With VoIP, as long as employees have a laptop and an internet connection they can still be reached, even if they re not at their desk. Your fixed-line phone system could be costing more than you think. Are you paying for features you never use? With VoIP, you only pay for what you use. With VoIP you ll have a single monthly bill and none of the overheads associated with housing and maintaining your on-premise system. When your current system reaches end-of-life, will your provider be able to migrate your business to VoIP cost-effectively?

5 5 Flexibility 6 Business Continuity Is your phone system flexible, in every sense? Is your current system scalable is it easy to add or remove users and features? Does your phone system tie workers to their desks? As business moves increasingly anytime, anywhere, does your current system support flexible-working? Does your current phone system present a single point of failure? If your premises, and in particular your hardware, are affected by theft, flood or fire, or even just a power outage, would your business still be able to function? Integrating VoIP into your business can improve resilience and ensure you and your customers stay connected, no matter what.
