1. Lower Total Cost of Ownership

1. Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Business is more unpredictable than ever–growth one year, contraction the next year. Ideally, you’d be able to secure the most advanced technologies without having to spend significant money up front on hardware. SkyBlue Hosted VoIP makes this possible.

With a SkyBlue Hosted VoIP solution, you save from day one on your monthly communications service fees. All you need are VoIP-ready desk phones, your smartphone, or a computer. That’s right, no expensive boxes or systems required.

You save money every month as well because you no longer need to manage both phone and data lines. Traditional phone lines are now a thing of the past.

2. Minimal IT Support Required

2. Minimal IT Support Required

Unlike complex traditional phone systems that take up space, SkyBlue Hosted VoIP requires very little IT support or training to administer. You can quickly add users, delete users, enable additional features–all without additional support or staff. The reason? A simple web interface. In fact, a SkyBlue Hosted VoIP solution is so simple and intuitive, users can manage their own features right from their computers. It’s one management issue that can be taken off the shoulders of IT.

3. Operating Expense vs. Capital Expense

3. Operating Expense vs. Capital Expense

With SkyBlue Hosted VoIP, there are no large servers or systems to purchase. Other than the individual desk phones themselves, there are no capital expenditures to depreciate over time. All you have is an affordable monthly service fee that connects your business and employees to a host of capabilities that dramatically improve productivity.

For example, a traditional telephony system with call center functionality could cost in excess of $120,000. By contrast, a call center based on a SkyBlue Hosted VoIP system may be as low as $1,200 per month! Imagine the impact that would have on your finances.

4. Business Continuity

4. Business Continuity

Every business needs to plan for potential disasters. Flood, fire, tornadoes–they can wreak havoc. But with SkyBlue Hosted VoIP, business will go on–uninterrupted. Since no physical box resides on your premises (it resides in redundant and secure data centers), customers can still connect with your business because employees can work from anywhere. Our simple, easy to use, CommPortal allows you to quickly forward calls to cell phones or other phones in unaffected locations. And our MaX UC Mobile and Desktop apps let your team operate just as they would in the office.

It’s an incredibly fast and easy way to take control of a disastrous situation and ensure that anything major becomes just a minor incident.

5. Scale Up/Scale Down

5. Scale Up/Scale Down

Reduce the uncertainty of long-range budgeting with highly flexible and scalable SkyBlue Hosted VoIP.

SkyBlue Hosted VoIP is a sure way to give you the peace of mind that comes from not being constrained by a phone system that only supports a fixed number of employees and can be costly and complicated to expand.

If resources become squeezed, you can quickly scale back. On the other hand, if you open a new branch office, or need to provide remote communications, or just need to prepare for a spike in demand around the holidays, it’s quick and easy to scale up without any disruption to your business.

Total flexibility. Easy to manage. Quick to deploy. SkyBlue Hosted VoIP is a decision with only upside.

You also have the ability to integrate with Outlook or your Customer Relationship Management system. There isn’t much you can’t do with SkyBlue.
