How Cloud-based Phone Services Can Help Businesses with Disaster Recovery
An unexpected disaster can set your business back months, or even years. All it takes is a gust of wind to knock down the telephone lines or a fire hitting your business premises and you’re in a world of trouble.
We’re going to look into why disaster recovery is so important and why cloud-based phone services are the best option for businesses of all sizes.
Why You Need Secure Data
Professionals in the healthcare, tax, and legal industries are just three examples of people who need effective disaster recovery plans in place in order to keep data secure. They’re dealing with sensitive data on a daily basis. There are so many complications should this data be lost, such as if an external hard-drive or computer system is destroyed.
Some of the consequences include:
- Letting down your clientele. You can’t deliver your services effectively. Plus, this could lead to them going elsewhere.
- Breaching privacy laws. If you lose a customer’s data, they could have grounds to take legal action against you.
- There’s nothing more damning as a business than not being able to work because data was lost and wasn’t secured.
As you can see, it’s imperative that you secure all data for the future of your company. And it goes further than that. It’s about continuing to deliver your services. VoIP helps you to do that alongside the cloud.

The VoIP System in Action
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) uses the brand new unification method to protect data. Rather than risking leaving data on computers, mobile phones, and on paper documents your data is stored in the cloud. This online facility allows you to access your data from anywhere.
We are going to show you what this means in practice. Mr. Smith runs company A and he has all his data stored on the cloud. Unfortunately, a fire breaks out in his office building and all his equipment is destroyed. He can claim the money back from the insurance, but anything stored on his systems was lost.
However, because he was using a VoIP system, he had all customer data stored on the cloud and he can continue to talk to customers without them knowing he has moved locations or a disaster has happened. Not only can he access all his data from a temporary workspace, but also he can access the same data after the repairs have been carried out.
This is how valuable the cloud is, and now you know why the VoIP system takes advantage of it. In other words, his business can continue to run as if nothing happened.

How Does it Work?
Traditional phone lines use a copper phone line to function. VoIP uses your Internet connection. The big benefit is that an Internet phone can be configured to function from anywhere. Simply take it with you and setup wherever you like, including at home. As long as you have the Internet, you can access your company web interface.
Conclusion
The cloud is essential for any business. The VoIP method of communication has become so successful because it uses this revolution in technology. See what packages are on offer for your company today and incorporate a valuable disaster recovery system into your business’s contingency plans.
