A Buyers Guide for companies considering the switch to a Cloud phone system from their existing onsite system is available from communications systems integrator Foehn.

The is free and downloadable online and outlines the key considerations for buyers and provides advice, guidance and tips for businesses to select an appropriate Cloud phone system for their requirements.

Foehn argues that the main difference of a Cloud phone system compared with a traditional telephone system is that instead of paying for upfront hardware and installation, all costs are covered by a low monthly fee and priced on a flexible and scalable per-user basis.

The guide highlights some of the potential pitfalls facing buyers, e.g. ending up paying for hidden extras or paying more for service features they thought were in the standard cost.

“There isn’t as much transparency nor clarity in the telecoms industry as there should be and SMEs considering switching to a cloud phone system can often face a daunting task,” stated James Passingham, Founder and Technical Director, Foehn. “We’ve compiled the Buyers Guide to Cloud phone systems so that companies can look at their own situation and business requirements and then decide for themselves what they want from a provider. Being armed with the facts and what to look for can help with the selection and decision making.”

The guide contains advice to companies of different sizes, from those with just a few employees up to businesses with more than 100. It includes a table of the type of features cloud telephony they may need, depending on their individual circumstances, growth plans and business operations.
