What Are The Benefits To Your Organisation?

Cloud-based ICT solutions have become a buzz word, and many organisations are blindly jumping onto these solutions. Beyond the reduced risk and cost of having to host and maintain your own hardware systems, there are very clear benefits.

Fully Integrated Communication

While the Internet has brought people and organisations closer together, this by and large happened in quite a fragmented way. Different technologies were developed by many different companies. As a result, you can become reliant on multiple services that become increasingly complicated to combine. The end effect can be a fractured integration that can cause business processes to be significantly less efficient.

One of the big advantages of 8×8 Communications Cloud is that it is a very open technology that allows you to integrate with many 3rd party systems. Basically, it’s not an all or nothing solution allowing you to gradually move your business without any disruptions.

Easily Scalable As Business Expands

Cloud solutions come with scalability built in, meaning that you don’t have to account for major upgrade costs when your business expands beyond a certain size. If your user count requires upgraded hardware configurations, then that happens seamlessly behind the scenes. This significantly reduces your upfront investment and maintenance costs and maximises your profits as you grow. With fewer worries and headaches about system interruptions from expansion-related upgrades, you can focus on running your business without all the distractions.

Customer Centred Solutions At The Core

Unlike most other business communications systems, 8×8 actually has customer-focused solutions built right into its core functionality. This allows you to set up a one-stop-shop solution for internal and external communications. Whether it’s instant, voice or video messaging, or a customer contact centre that you need to account for, it’s all built into the functionality and easily configured.

As a result, you can have all your communications data in one place, making it significantly easier to analyse data and trends and make proactive decisions about your operations. Your business will operate more efficiently, and you will have happier customers as a result.

8×8 Communications Cloud Integration

Because of the open and integrated nature of 8×8 Cloud services, you’re in an excellent position to gradually start the process of moving from an onsite to a hosted cloud environment. However, making sure that this process occurs seamlessly requires the expertise of engineers and technicians who understand both legacy and new technologies. Unfortunately, there are many service providers who don’t have enough experience with the older technologies to fully understand how they need to be configured to ensure a seamless transition.Even small mistakes or oversights can cause problems that disrupt your processes and hurt your bottom line.
