Secure And Efficient Enterprise Phone System
VoIP systems have radically transformed the way businesses operate. Company owners can now answer calls remotely, send text messages and faxes via the internet, hold conference calls and video calls with ease, and much more. However, not every single VoIP system will offer the important benefits your business needs to succeed. What’s more, many enterprise phone systems are vulnerable to hacks and data breaches.
What should a business look for in a top-tier enterprise phone system? The following are some criteria to bear in mind when selecting a phone service for your business.
Does it Work Well with Encryption?
A very effective way to protect VoIP calls from hackers is to use a VPN or VLAN. Before investing in a VoIP system, make sure that it will work well with an encrypted connection. Some VPNs can’t handle the additional load, resulting in call degradation that makes it difficult if not impossible to communicate clearly.
Can Your Employees Use it Easily and Securely?
An eye-popping 47% of business owners say they have suffered a data breach due to employee error. If your staff members will be using a VoIP phone service, you’ll want to make sure that they can easily adhere to security protocols to protect your business from bad actors.
Can you Get Good Support for the System?
VoIP systems, like computers and smartphones, need regular updates installed to address vulnerabilities that could lead to a cyberattack. If your IT department isn’t prepared to take on the extra work, outsourcing cyber security and compliance services for your VoIP devices is likely a wise idea.
It’s best to have your VoIP installed by the same IT company that will handle cybersecurity monitoring for your firm. Many IT companies partner with top-tier VoIP service providers and so can not only recommend a particular company to suit your needs but even install the systems and teach your employees how to use them properly.
Does the VoIP System Meet Your Current and Future Needs?
Cybersecurity is imperative but it’s not the only consideration you’ll need to take into account. Your VoIP system should have the features and amenities your business needs both now and in the future. Consider your future business goals and plans to avoid the hassle and expense of having to switch over to a new VoIP system a few years down the line.
