Summary

The main benefit of Hosted Office VOIP telephone systems are the flexibility it offers.

Some clients simply require one new line/licence into their business as volumes have increased. They do not necessarily want to have to pay for installs and reconfiguration of their switch.

Others see how the free calls to landline and mobiles will reduce their bills and order some additional lines/licences for outgoing calls to sit alongside their current switch while still presenting the customer’s main number.

Typically the cost savings and improved efficiency levels make a strong business case for replacing the full switchboard. The Future Office system scalability allows the change to be done in one stage or gradually.
