Moving with the business: stay accessible!

A business relocation, there is a lot involved. It's more than just physical items that need to be moved from point A to point B. Think about what needs to be arranged for automation, what internet connection is possible, when employees will start working at the new location, etc. In addition, you also want to be available to customers by phone, which is often difficult at the time when the telephone system needs to be moved. With Hosted Telephony, at least, that's a snap.

Previously: the physical telephone exchange

The traditional PBX works through an ISDN connection. The physical PBX sits bolted to the wall somewhere at the company location and simply does its job. However, the problems arise when you move. Requesting a move date for your phone lines is easy to arrange, but then everything has to be ready the moment the switch is turned and telephony expires at the old location. What if the move is inconvenient? If it turns out that the computers don't yet work at the new location? Then your company might be without a phone for a few days, your employees can't do anything and you are unreachable for customers.

ISDN connections are ending!

KPN announced earlier this year to stop the ISDN lines. As of this week, then, it really is over and it is no longer possible to make calls via ISDN connections. To guarantee reachability, your company needs to modernize. This will no longer be a surprise. The only question is how and what to do for this?

Now: calling in the cloud

With hosted telephony, all of the above problems are solved. In short, Hosted Telephony, also called Hosted VoIP called a phone system in the cloud. So calling is done over the Internet. This means you no longer need a local telephone exchange. Your existing computer network and Internet connection are enough to work with Hosted Telephony. Because of this, you are no longer tied to a location if you want to make calls. Telephones can be in one location or spread across multiple locations. All these devices eventually communicate with the same telephone system in the cloud. So the new location is nothing more than an extra location with internet where you place telephones, nothing needs to be moved. Also convenient: phones can also be forwarded to cell phones. So this way you are always accessible, even during a move!
