If you've been using the same phone system for years, you might be surprised to see just how many new options are out there--and how much research you'll have to do if you're interested in upgrading. That's why we compiled this "phone systems round up" to help you decide what's perfect for your business, both now and in the future.
Making the Call
Phone systems are still a massive part of business communication, and if current patterns are anything to judge by, they won't be going out of style any time soon. Instead, they're becoming even more sophisticated to keep up with the constant forward march of technology.
Here's a round-up of the most popular phone systems. Which one is best for your business?
Traditional landlines
This is the type of system we're all familiar with: copper wires, utility companies, and lots and lots of hardware. It may be a "good enough" choice for some companies, but with so many cheaper and more powerful options available, landlines aren't recommended anymore.
VoIP phone systems
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems are what you might call "the next big thing." They're low on cost and high on reliability, and they come with a whole host of additional functions and features (plus some more familiar tech and hardware) that can help bring your company's communication to the next level. On top of that, they also support multiple locations and even at-home or traveling employees--so you're free to grow your brand comfortably.
Cloud-based phone systems
Cloud-based phone systems are still, fundamentally, VoIP phone systems--but the difference is that they exist entirely in the cloud. You'll say goodbye to familiar hardware, and in return, you won't have to worry about maintenance, repairs, or bug fixes.
