A few years ago at a previous office job, the power went out. Everyone met in the lobby, and we stared at each other. With a traditional phone system in place, we were unable to receive or make any business telephone calls to customers. Our desk phones turned into paperweights. Not ideal for a business that depends on their telephones working from 9-5. That’s why selecting Hosted VoIP for your business telephone service is a smart continuity plan.
Having a plan in place for when the power goes out, (because the power can go out at your business for many different reasons!) From weather related incidents to human error that causes accidents, the list is endless. Since the list is endless, the amount of time your power will be out at your business will fluctuate as well. Not knowing the amount of downtime, you could incur; is why readiness is key.
With Hosted VoIP, calls can easily be redirected to mobile devices or other locations, ensuring uninterrupted service. Employees can make and receive business calls from anywhere with an internet connection, which is ideal for remaining efficient. This seamless transition allows your team to continue to operate and provide essential support during and after an unexpected disruption.
Is Hosted VoIP part of your business continuity plan? If you answered, no, I’d highly recommend looking into all the pros Hosted VoIP provides for your business. Don’t let a disruptive incident like losing power, be the reason your business comes to a complete stand still.
