Do you remember when WhatsApp<\/u><\/em><\/a> did not exist? We had to pay for every SMS sent and were unable to send images, audio, or use many of the other features that this app now facilitates. <\/span><\/p>\n

Using a physical office system is like returning to the era before WhatsApp.<\/em> There are currently several ways to reduce technology costs; one of the most effective methods we have found is implementing cloud-based phone systems and migrating from G Suite<\/u><\/em><\/a> to Microsoft 365<\/u><\/em><\/a> as an email provider (I will cover the latter in my next blog post).<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I presented a communications savings plan to a client that resulted in a 78% reduction in monthly billing (yes, 78% less on their phone bill!)<\/strong>. It may seem incredible, but it is true\u2014and that does not even include the reduction in electricity, internet, and other related costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

But… why such significant savings? <\/span><\/p>\n

When using a physical phone system in your office, you must consider several factors that generate costs and expenses, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The communication provider (and their inflexible contracts)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Equipment maintenance (technical issues)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 On-site configurations (additional technical requirements)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Electricity consumption, which often requires a battery backup (another contract)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Symmetrical internet connection for on-site IP systems (an additional and costly contract)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The hardware required, typically desktop phones (another technical consideration)<\/span><\/p>\n

When you use a 100% cloud-based phone system<\/u><\/a>, you only need to consider the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The system to be installed. I recommend and install 3CX.<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The communication provider: unlike traditional systems, you can choose providers in any country, giving you more flexibility with rates and the ability to have local lines worldwide at local calling costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The internet connection requirements are simple: if you can watch a YouTube<\/em> video without interruption, you are ready to make calls anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 To make calls, you can use your mobile phone, a desktop phone, your computer, or all three if you prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n
