If you are associated with a VoIP business, a Disaster Recovery solution is a must for your business. Whether you are a reseller or a consumer or a VoIP Provider, the implementation of a Disaster Recovery solution for VoIP is essential. The concept of Disaster Recovery is not a new one. In fact, it is most closely related to Businesses Continuity, crises management and other such popular terms of today. These concepts assure data protection and flow of services in the midst of a natural or abrupt disaster.

A DR solution answers the basic questions related to an unpredictable scenario that your business may go through like What do you do if a hurricane hits your area? How do you respond if hackers break into your system? VoIP Businesses need to make sure three assets are well protected: the people, the data and the Phone system!

Backup Plans for VoIP business

If you have opted for a hosted VoIP service, the VoIP Provider has already setup the Disaster Recovery solution for VoIP in the cloud and you don’t really have to worry about your data and Phone system. Just go for your employee’s protection when your business is disaster-struck. However, if there is an existing SIP installation at your end, you need a DR solution for that to protect your phone system (in addition to protecting your people, off course)

Connection Backups

Disaster Recovery solution have to account for an alternate internet connection to function the VoIP system seamlessly. It is advisable to have a second line from your main Internet Service Provider. In this way, if the primary connection fails, you have another one to continue with.

VoIP monitoring systems

A VoIP monitoring system exactly tells you when to kick start your backup plan. In other words, with a VoIP monitoring system in place you’d be able to minimize business loss by starting the DR solution on time. For VoIP businesses, a few minutes of downtime can be fatal.

Investment in Digital business communication solutions is regarded as the new norm for business success. It is often believed that the way to business success is the investment in the Right areas. In case of cloud- based businesses, the Right areas have become cloud business communication solutions. By going with a typical business phone system, you fail to realize how much you are spending on the calls and internal communication costs that you could’ve saved with cloud based communication solutions. Here are five ways how you can stay ahead of your competitors using a digital cloud based business communication solution:

  • Become Productive, not busy!

Staying busy all the time doesn’t mean you are being beneficial for the company all the time. Half of the time employees are busy fixing recurring tasks that can be automated. With a digital business communication solution in place, you’ll find more productivity amongst your employees, increased customer base and better prospects which eventually beats your competitors in cloud business competition.

  • Reach Out to international clients

With a cloud based business communication solution, you can reach out to international clients in an easy manner without biting your nails for potentially increased bills. When you reach out to an international customer base, you are more likely to sell better, grow your business and pursue for stability in your services. Capturing International clients is all you need to stay ahead of your competitors.

  • Get rid of barriers in the way of productivity

Business phone’s tangled wiring; jitters in video conferencing, dropping out important clients’ calls are a few barriers that come in the way of smooth service delivery from your end. With digital business communication, you can make use of top-notch infrastructure for smooth service delivery, that too without the hassle of maintenance at your end!

  • Save Cost on Calls

With business communication solutions, there are easy pricing plans that can fit any business. With a decent communication service provider, you only have to pay for what you need and so you can do more with less. There is less setup costs and almost no maintenance costs with a digital communication solution. In reality, you only don’t save direct communications costs, but also save indirect costs. For example Employees aren’t dependent to take calls only from the desk but can work from anywhere, so you never lose a business call and so potentially you save a huge indirect cost.

  • Hassle-free setup

Not only you save on setup and installation costs, you also save time with the quick and hassle free setup. You don’t have to boil the ocean during setup and installation of a cloud-based business communication solution, because setup is a low-hanging fruit in the first place.

SIP Trunking Based Virtual Call Centers – The Call Center That Suits All

In SIP Trunking

Meet Ted, a 25-ish call center representative, usually having his head in the clouds, so losing the professionalism that is required from him. The technical manager at his organization decides to give him a break and asks him to work from home because their call center has opted for a SIP Digital communication service solution. So now the call center has become a Virtual Call Center.

Is it a Call Center in the Cloud?

Yes. The growing needs of call centers have brought Digital communications into the game.  That’s true for most Digital communication going around these days’ solutions especially the SIP Trunk solutions where virtual call center solutions are gaining popularity. With a virtual experience, there is more productivity in the call center domain. Employees can choose their feasible working hours, their favorite clients and stay in situations where they are comfortable to work in.  And the icing on the cake is: you get to save more bucks. Gone are the days where you faced the issue “You have reached the maximum limit. Time for an upgrade”. With a SIP service solution, your budget is in control so all you need to do is Subscribe to a decent plan and you are good to go for the whole month!

The server serves as a hub where employees are connected via Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). This way, they can adhere to the company’s security protocol and share the information that is relevant to share with the client. Pretty much like the same way as in a brick and mortar call center.

Now you must be wondering: How to create a virtual call center in the cloud?

First thing first, set a budget. With SIP Trunks, there is no initial infrastructure investment costs, you only have to subscribe to a SIP Providers service. Take a decent plan according to your defined budget and take a deep breath. You are good to go! Here are a few things that’ll help you on your way to a successful Virtual call center.

Know you KPIs

Key Performance indicators are what define your progress. You need to outline your objectives and KPIs. Know how to take data-driven decisions and stay focused on a few “most important” KPIs. Don’t let too many KPIs distract you.

Stay available 24/7 (You read that right, 24/7!)

There is no point claiming to have a virtual call center when it not virtually “present” when the customers need you. Stay online at all times. Don’t frustrate your customers by ignoring their emails or calls. While you are scrutinizing Providers, make sure to look for red flags. You need a smooth flow of installation and a smoother flow of services with no jitters during calls.

Deploy a Monitoring Software (To keep an eye on your employees)

Having said that, decent monitoring software will also keep you informed of customer feedback and so make you in a position to upgrade your customer services. You can even track calls of employees (like Ted) with customers that are not up to the mark and figure out loopholes and fix them by either talking to the employee or fixing the system. It saves you big bucks at the end of the day.

And …. A decent CRM Solution

Take Customers relations to the next level and deploy a CRM for a better customer relationship management. This is required for an exceptional customer dealing and making sure your services are up to the mark.

How Modern Digital Communications Can Open Up Significant New Opportunities for Resellers

In Digital Communications, UDCaaS, Unified Communications

You plan to provide best-in-line Digital Communication to businesses opting for a secure digital transformation. Great!

You are doing business in the right direction because businesses are shifting to as-a-service model. And so, Unified Digital Communication as a Service (UDCaaS) is also a promising approach in the field of Unified communications pertaining to the increasing Unified Communication (UC) needs in the future. The term “Unified communications” is popular in every business these days.  For enterprises, it has become a necessity. Given the enormous amount of information exchange through multiple communications in an enterprise, the need for unified communication for enterprises is increasing every year. Communication channels like email, video conference call and many more are managed centrally using unified communications solutions. Reselling model that enables offering UC business infrastructure is much in demand in market. It would be great to have a bunch of essentials for this business to flourish: like a partner providing customer-engagement, UDCaaS-style capabilities, high bandwidth, performance, significant reductions in call costs with little to no CAPEX, streamlined business processes with conferencing, collaboration, messaging and presence capabilities, to the point where you can go for advanced applications like Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS).

What if you find a Provider who ACTUALLY provides all these needs – the collab tools required for better streamline business ops, efficient customer-engagement, reduced calls and least CAPEX, efficient Cloud PBX migrations and provides you flexibility to scale the business too.  Many resellers and telecom companies have now found the business opportunities that lie within secure Unified Digital Communication and even ahead of it. The need for an UDCaaS provider is real.

MachCloud facilitates Cloud Providers with all the answers needed for a successful and promising communication infrastructure for a sustainable business.

What resellers want from their Digital Communications Provider?

Resellers are always in search for ways to increase revenue and make more profit with their own margins. Naturally, they are in search for novel approaches of reselling models and a good combination of features that a Provider facilitates them with. In other words, it is only what the provider offers that can make a difference in Reselling outcomes for the Resellers’ business. Here are a few factors that enable Resellers to earn more form their offerings and stay best-in-line in the market.

  • Proficient technical skills: A key concern remains whether Providers have the skills or the bandwidth to build out their portfolio, with many questioning whether they are ready to embrace higher value service opportunities such as UDCaaS, Security, SD-WAN or CCaaS.
  • Best-in-line Technology Services Distributor: a specialist Technology Services Distributor can equip channel sales partners with a much broader portfolio of skills, technologies and expertise, allowing them to target far more complex and higher value UC and cloud business opportunities, safe in the knowledge that they always have access to best practice solutions from pre-vetted supplier partners.
  • Disaster recovery solutions: Overcoming uncertainty will be critical for channel sales partners in 2020, indeed for those channel sales partners that can serve as a trusted advisor and help organizations navigate their more complex cloud choices there’s a real opportunity to build lasting business partnerships with strong repeat revenues.
  • More choices on offers: The shift to UC-as-a-Service will also help channel partners to target and acquire more spend from their end-user customers. With more choice on offer, organizations will become involved in more constructive discussions, and get to work with a partner that can actually bring them the optimum solutions from the potentially hundreds of different UC and cloud technologies that are available
  • Faster time to value: resellers can take advantage of the relatively short sales cycle enabled by UDCaaS, and they can also leverage their in-depth knowledge of the customer’s business to only recommend solutions that are applicable to address evolving requirements.
  • Better management: With so many complex services being offered to customers, a decent management portal is direly needed for a unified management experience at the resellers’ end. Not only this saves time in keeping up with tasks and customers, such a portal is needed to gain better insights on customers’ needs and in this way the resellers can increase the service requirements before the customers actually demand them.
  • Easy migrations: Not all Providers go smooth with migrations. The need for a Provider which provides smooth migrations, like Cloud PBX transitions, in real-time is much needed. Pertaining to the sensitive nature of unified communications, resellers can’t afford any loss of customer call or meeting while upgrading their business requirements internally. A smooth migration is much needed.

MachCloud offers faster time to revenue, easier migrations, Unified management portal, choices of having a combination of vendors and industry experts to facilitate resellers and enable them to proceed with a flourishing UDCaaS business. It is a unique service management and communication delivery platform. Offering both Hosted PBX and On-premise PBX, MachCloud offers unique plans flexible for your enterprise and best Unified communications solutions including SIP trunk Services, Hosted Voice, Skype 4 business  and other Microsoft services like Dynamics 365, Office 365 services at very affordable rates. With one management portal which allows for unified invoicing and easy unified communication management, MachCloud is the most promising UC solutions provider in the market.

Now, you must have an idea what you need for a successful UDCaaS business. Unfortunately, too many channel partners still remain unsure whether they have the in-depth technical skills to deliver such an integrated UC-enabled managed service on top of more routine IP network sales. Professionals at MachCloud are more than confident with their years of cloud industry experience to deliver you THE BEST migration services.

Conclusion

In essence, a reseller must know where the potential of a successful UDCaaS business lies – the infrastructure behind. Resellers have a choice to start from scratch, build an infrastructure or go for the smart approach and transition their initial UC communications platform projects into continuous engagements that unlock multiple opportunities for repeat residual business by delivering improved quality UDCaaS, gaining better time to revenue, cutting costs and redefining UDCaaS as we know today.
