Hosted VOIP
Hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) service allows your business to get more for your money by using someone else’s phone system delivered as a Hosted service. Gain all the features and functionality of a cutting-edge IP phone system without having to actually buy the “system”. The “brains” to your phone system are located in a secure facility and are managed and maintained by the service provider, while your internal IT resources retain control over daily service modifications (moves/adds/changes) with administrative controls. Thanks to many new applications and features, a Hosted VoIP system can be used as a powerful business-impacting tool to enhance profits as well as help make employees more efficient in an increasingly mobile workplace.
Hosted VoIP includes the following highlights:
- Minimal upfront costs – no phone system to buy
- Built-in disaster recovery – redundant carrier-grade equipment and functionality to take your communications anywhere
- Limitless scalability – easily scale your system
- System manageability – keep admin controls while outsourcing the management and maintenance
- Increased operational efficiency – advanced features to increase productivity, providing increased network uptime and faster issue resolution
Example: A construction firm was looking for a new phone system that fulfilled the following business requirements. 1.) The technology must be scalable to fit the needs of the company as they add/subtract employees and locations. 2.) The firm wanted to outsource the complex and time-consuming work of monitoring and managing their voice and data network. 3.) The solution must provide 24/7 network management with proactive service alerts, 100% target uptime, and end user support. AVANT helped this client to find a Hosted VoIP provider who offers expertise in deploying Hosted Cisco phone solutions. Without the expense of buying multiple phone systems for their 30 sites, the firm has a private MPLS network with a high-speed Internet connection; a cutting-edge business phone system with automatic call distribution, voicemail, call forwarding, intercom and conferencing; and integrated voice and fax messaging. Branch office locations can be added with minimal effort and a seamlessly integrated phone system allows them to communicate with vendors, clients and colleagues across the country as if they were in the next office over.
