What is a cloud business phone system?
Cloud phone service enables you to make phone calls over the Internet rather than over a traditional analog phone system. Whereas a conventional analog phone system requires copper wires, fiber-optic cables, and switches, cloud phone service is maintained at one or more secure, offsite data centers.

What are the benefits of using Cloud Phone Service?
There are many benefits a small business can realize from a cloud business phone service. Specific benefits include:
- Significant cost savings - Traditional analog phone systems require copper wires and fiber optic cables connecting traditional switches, all components that a company must buy and install to add new lines. In contrast, a cloud business phone system needs only a high-speed Internet connection and, perhaps, an IP-based handset. A cloud business phone system is priced based on fixed monthly fees per phone line, or 'seats.' As a result, a cloud business phone system has a much higher return-on-investment (ROI) than an analog phone system.
- Rich features - Cloud phone systems for small companies provide users with a wide range of standard features such as voicemail, advanced email, and automatic attendants.
- Availability with a wide selection of mobility applications - If you can't find the features that you need, you may be able to integrate third-party applications or apps into your cloud business phone system. Popular phone system integrations are with customer relationship management (CRM) and call-center management applications. Integration with industry-specific applications such as auto dealer management solutions is also standard.
- Scalability - The main goal of any business is to grow. A business phone system should be able to scale with the needs of the company. Growth with a traditional analog system requires new wiring and switches. In contrast, a new 'seat' within a VOIP phone system is added in minutes with a button's touch.
- Flexibility - VOIP phone systems can access the latest features and services without a hardware update.
- Quick disaster recovery - Your system should always be available to receive inbound sales calls, leads, or new business. Since your data is maintained in a secure environment away from your physical location, it is free from such weather and crime-related risks such as riots and vandalism.
- Uniformity - Adding a new location or remote worker to an existing business phone network is easy compared to an analog business phone system. Only a high-speed Internet connection and perhaps an IP-based phone is needed to add a new 'seat.'
- Benefits your IT person or team - Programming, maintenance, and support for your cloud business phone system falls upon your service provider. As a result, your phone system's support and maintenance are not added to your IT person or team's workload.
- Increased information security - Your service provider, is responsible for safeguarding your information and data security with a cloud business phone system. As a result, they much more resources available to protect your data resulting in much more protection than you could provide on your own.

Why should I work with a local cloud phone service provider in Long Beach, CA?
There are many cloud business phone services and VOIP providers located within the United States and around the World. Training, customer service, and support are often 'DIY' through online forums, email, or an 800-line. When your system is down and most in need of assistance, you will speak with someone you have never talked to before and will likely have trouble communicating with them for any number of reasons. If your business is like most other businesses, your business essentially shuts down when your phone system is down, making a service interruption more difficult.
Many of our clients in Long Beach, CA, and throughout Los Angeles and Orange County select us for just that reason. Unlike other VOIP providers, you will speak with either James, Richard, or Phu when you call for support, customer service, or training. He will likely know you personally and know everything about your phone system pertaining to your business. If your service interruption is a problem that can better be addressed with a service call, we will make the short drive to your location to fix the issue. In contrast, a national business phone provider will likely hire an outside contractor or company to fix it. This may or may not work as they don't have a vested interest in getting your business phone system and your business up and running. They are not invested in the business relationship and have no interest, other than to get paid.
