Cloud Phone Systems: what is it?

What is a Cloud Phone System? A cloud phone system is a Voice over Internet Protocol based business telephone platform that is hosted and managed by a Telecom provider such as NUACOM. A Cloud Phone System (also called Cloud VoIP system, Hosted PBX, Hosted VoIP system and Hosted Phone System)) typically offers advanced features and scalability that an on-premise phone system does not, such as integration with business and also provide you with multi-location access, remote worker mobility, click-to-call and many other functionalities.

Thanks to cloud technology you can now manage all your business communications in a new way. Data is stored on a computer and it can be accessed over the internet, on mobile and desktop. This means that there are no landlines limitations anymore and your business can expand at any time, to anywhere, with the same system taking care of your business telephony.

Cloud Phone Systems: what does it do?

The phone system for business in a cloud can perform the same functionalities that a traditional phone system does. It can manage all your calls, have them all recorded, provide your callers with IVR Menu (“Please press 1 for sales, 2 for support…”), call groups, extension dialing, auto attendant, conference bridges and many other Phone System Features. But it does all of this with better quality and limitless integration and scalability. It can be integrated with business applications such as:

• Google Contacts,
• Salesforce.com,
• ZenDesk,
• MailChimp
• and others.

It also manages the data behind your business telephony for reports and analytics, for example:

• Peak time,
• Extension usage,

• and more.

The fact that it works through the cloud means that your business can access many new features and manage data that are not available with an old-style phone system.
