How To Transition To The Cloud For A VoIP Phone System

Change does not have to be as scary as it seems! This is especially true when transitioning to the cloud for a VoIP phone system. Below are a few steps you can take to make it a smooth transition.

Secure The Right Amount of Bandwidth

There is nothing worse than having a cloud-based VoIP phone system installed and then discovering that you do not have enough bandwidth to support it. Do not let this happen to you! You can avoid this scenario altogether by investing in a separate internet circuit that is solely for your cloud-based VoIP phone system. This will help ensure that you have plenty of bandwidth dedicated to it. 

Choose A Compatible Firewall

Safety and security should always be top of mind when it comes to your business. That is why it is so vital to have firewalls installed whenever possible. To cover all of your bases, make sure that the firewall you installed is compatible with your VoIP phone system. You may experience a period of trial and error to find the best firewall for your new VoIP phone system.
