If you have a phone system that uses traditional copper-based ISDN or PSTN lines, it is likely that you will have been informed of the eventual switch-off for these connections. Openreach is disconnecting all copper-based telephone lines by 2025 and has already made a start switching off certain areas around the country.
Despite this rapidly moving switch-off programme, there are still a huge number of businesses around the UK that continue to use these traditional services and are hanging on to old telephony equipment…and no doubt struggling with the limited features they provide.
Most businesses and consumers look to regularly upgrade their technology, whether that’s the latest mobile phone or laptops and computers, so why should a phone system be any different?
At present there are two options for those looking to upgrade their telephone systems: SIP trunking and cloud-hosted telephony.
Both solutions can offer huge improvements, additional features, and often consolidate multiple elements of business communication into one, including but not limited to, calls, instant messaging, video conferencing and file sharing.
Both systems are future-proofed and will save your business from inevitably losing your telephone connection.
But which option is best for you and your business? We’ve put together a free guide to help you compare the two connections.
