Indeed, whether the solution is project management software, billing software, human resource information systems and the list goes on, the question is not “should we use the cloud for this?” but rather “how can we afford *not *to do this via the cloud?” Given that VoIP is the **[fastest-growing industry in the world](http://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/global-voip-services-market)**, cloud phone systems are without question the latest addition to the cloud technology toolkit. Here are the 7 key reasons that make this must-have solutions for all businesses, from dynamic startups to established enterprises: ### **1. Dramatic & Sustainable Cost Savings** Elevating to a **[cloud phone system](https://blog.votacall.com/how-to-convince-your-boss-to-invest-in-a-cloud-phone-system)** leads to dramatic bottom-line savings that can be anywhere from 30-50% vs. a traditional landline system. What’s more, the cost savings are not a one-time factor. They continue year after year. ### **2. Easy & Rapid Deployment** Cloud phone systems seamlessly and rapidly in any environment, and integrate with other SaaS solutions in the environment to improve data hygiene and enhance workflow efficiency. ### **3. Total Mobility** Cloud phone systems instantly give employees total mobility. They can send and receive calls wherever they are and whenever they want via IP phone, desktop (“softphone”), or through a mobile app on their smartphone. ### **4. Business Continuity** Cloud phone systems leverage a geographically dispersed infrastructure, which means that local power outages will not take the system offline. In addition, several automatic failover strategies are in place to ensure business continuity in the event of problems with an ISP provider, server, router, etc ### **5. Advanced Unified Calling Features** While CEOs and CFOs appreciate the dramatic cost savings of cloud phone systems, employees love the advanced Unified Calling (UC) features that give them immediate access to tools like voicemail-to-email, voicemail-to-text, one-number service, hunt groups, ring groups, video conferencing, auto-attendant, and the list goes on. ### **6. Scalability & Flexibility** Adding or removing users is simple and fast with cloud phone systems, and can be done through a secure web interface. This is valuable -- if not vital -- for businesses that do not know how many lines/extensions they will need in the near future. With cloud phone systems, there is no risk of not having enough capacity or, just as bad, paying for excess capacity. ### **7. Constant Innovation** Cloud phone systems are constantly evolving, with new features and functions added on a regular basis. All of these innovations are automatically installed, and they do not cost extra. They are part of the SLA. ### **Learn More** If your business has been thinking of elevating your phone system to the cloud, then **[contact the Votacall team](https://www.votacall.com/contact-us)** today.
