Business can make significant savings from using cloud computing to make phone calls, according to one industry expert.
Max Cooter, editor of technology site Cloudpro.co.uk, has issued a wealth of advice and invaluable information on the prospect of switching existing systems for web-based operations.
Cooter explains that with voice over cloud, businesses do not need to pay for telephone lines, the cost of installing a private branch exchange, or the cost of the calls. This can be particularly effective at saving money if the business makes a lot of international calls.
He goes on to claim that cloud computing can also save businesses money when employees are travelling abroad.
“The call charges can be much reduced, particularly to abroad, that is going to be a big factor. When you think how much people pay in roaming charges when they use their mobile abroad, they can actually dial into a cloud service locally and call – it makes sense,” Mr Cooter said.
Another advantage is that using cloud-based telecommunications reduces the reliance on staff. Mr Cooter stated that while the big savings will be made in call costs, there is also the potential to support the decrease in size of a telecommunications department when the technology is in use.
The follows the recent report from Alan Bereford, managing director of EcoCooling, who suggests the technology can help businesses become more efficient in their use of IT equipment, making signification reductions in their energy usage.
