PBXact Cloud
Modernizing the Way Businesses Communicate
We sat down with our Director of Sales in Europe, Mr.
Simon Horton, to see what he had to say about the UK
market and how hosted business phone systems are
revolutionizing the industry.
In your years of experience in the
telecom industry, have you ever seen a
sudden shift in needs and expectations
from customers?
Simon: "Yes, customer needs and phone system
requirements change all the time, but the shift of
business moving to the cloud is proving to be more than
just a trend. Customers are looking for an easy to use
phone system that is reliable and scalable with their
future needs and growth. PBXact Cloud can easily meet
those needs while providing the popular UC features that
customers are requiring in this technology age. Providing
an affordable, hosted UC solution is certainly the most
common request we hear from our partners and
customers. The other big change we see is that
customers want to spread the cost rather than pay
upfront. With PBXact cloud and Sangoma phone rental
that is completely possible.”
What are some of the biggest concerns
customers have about moving to the
"Cloud"?
Simon: “We hear all the time: “Can I trust something that
is not in my direct control?” “Does the hosting vendor
properly maintain their data centre?” “Being dependent
on an ISP, should I be worried?” The list goes on and on.
It is a fact that moving to a hosted business phone
system is now safer than ever. Data centres are taking
extra precautions to have multiple underlying carriers
and redundancy procedures in place to ensure uptime for
their customers. Rest assured knowing that with proper
network readiness, moving your phone system to the
cloud is perfectly safe and reliable.”
Last question, Sangoma is offering one
full year of PBXact Cloud service for
free when you sign a 3yr contract. Has
Sangoma ever attempted like this
before?
Simon: "This is unprecedented, we have never done
anything like this before. Sangoma is confident PBXact
Cloud is a perfect phone system for businesses of all
sizes. We wanted to make sure that if you have thought
about moving from your current provider to a hosted
phone system or trying PBXact Cloud, this is an offer you
cannot refuse."
