Who still remembers the images of those women with antique headsets manually connecting phone calls to the correct number on a massive switchboard that took up an entire room? Thankfully, those days are long gone, but even today, a physical phone system in your business can still take up quite a bit of space. And that’s not even mentioning the connections such an installation requires, the cable management, the maintenance, or the costs involved.

The Smallest Phone System is One That Doesn’t Exist

In an era where everything needs to be smaller, automated, and as cost-effective as possible, the smallest phone system is one that doesn’t exist. This may sound strange, but it’s a logical evolution of technological possibilities.

When thinking of a phone system, many still imagine a box or switchboard where all internal phone lines converge and from which they connect to the external provider. Initially, this was a one-to-one connection, and later, multiple external lines could connect with multiple internal lines.

With the advent of VoIP and digital telephony, the number of connections was further reduced, creating a wide range of possibilities that took up less space than traditional systems. But no matter how small these systems were, there was still a physical system replacing the function of the old switchboard. And “small” in the case of a physical system unfortunately also meant a limited number of lines and features, requiring a new system and associated costs for each upgrade or expansion.

Fortunately, today there’s a fully online alternative, and you can host your phone system in the cloud, making the physical system entirely virtual for your business. Connected devices use a wired network, Wi-Fi, or 4G to connect to this cloud system, so you’re no longer dependent on that box in the cabinet.

The Smallest System You Can Take Anywhere

A hosted phone system in the cloud doesn’t just work with the VoIP devices on your desk but can also be used via software on your laptop or PC and is just as easily accessible on a tablet or mobile device while on the go. Anywhere you have a good internet connection, you can get started immediately. You also no longer need separate servers to store recorded calls or check statistics, as these are securely stored and made available online by us.

The Smallest System, Yet the Largest

The smallest system is also the largest because its scalability isn’t limited by a switchboard in a cabinet. You don’t need to purchase a new installation or expansion when you want to increase the number of connections.

Anyone who chooses efficient, professional, and high-quality telephony that’s ready for the future today chooses a hosted phone system. Completely tailored to your business!
