They’re better. No, really. OK, so back in the early days of internet calls this observation may have been true. But the tech is no longer new – there have been huge improvements in network connectivity. It’s mature and sophisticated, delivering crystal clear audio with no more dropouts, tinny voices, echoes or delays.
Bottom line: the better your internet connection, the higher your call quality.
Digital phone lines can actually be more resilient than PSTN (public switched telephone network – the traditional landline network) lines. For instance, our digital services run across multiple data centres. If one goes down, no problem. Traffic switches seamlessly to another and your service carries on regardless.
Calls don’t eat as much bandwidth as you might expect so the vast majority of businesses don’t notice any problems. When we’re supplying a digital phone system, we always work with you to understand how you’re planning to use it. That way, we can make sure you have the right type of internet connection for what you want to do and plenty of bandwidth to go round as well.
Don’t worry. Like cars, you don’t need to understand what happens under the bonnet to be able to drive one. Digital phone systems are actually easier to manage than on-premises systems (if you take one of ours, we’ll help you get your people up to speed).
Using a simple web admin interface, you can move, add, or change users with a click of a mouse. And because it’s digital, all updates and maintenance are remote and timely so there’s no waiting around for an engineer or a physical upgrade. And you always have the latest features and updates.
Actually, it can be very easy – with the right planning. If you’re running separate voice and data networks, you can bring them together, as long as your network has the bandwidth (and if it needs a top-up, we can arrange that). You can swap out your entire phone system in one go or take a phased approach and introduce it one office at a time. It’s up to you.
It’s even easier when you opt for a hosted service with us. That means we’ll take care of installation, set-up, and on-going management. Digital phone systems come with IP (internet protocol) phones, which is the type of phone you need to make calls over the internet rather than the PSTN network, so you’ll need to replace your current handsets if they’re not compatible with digital phone services.
All you need to do is plug an IP phone into the network or download an app and use a headset, and you’re ready to make and receive calls.
On the contrary, you’ll be able to keep your current numbers, if you want to. It’s actually an opportunity to review your numbers and think about whether you still need them all.
One of the big advantages of digital systems over traditional landlines is that you can have the same number on multiple devices, wherever you are. So customers can ring your office number and you can answer the call literally anywhere you can get an internet connection. You’ll never miss a call again.
We admit this one may have held some water back in the very early days, but not anymore. Fact is, cloud systems do everything your on-premises phone system can do and then some. Call forwarding, diversion, hunt groups and so on.
You can integrate your phone system with your business applications, making for fast, fluid and effective customer service. Our mobile app even lets your mobile (and laptop) act as an extension of your desk phone, so your office can be wherever you are.
And because your business number goes wherever you go, customers assume you’re in your office – which can be very useful for helping you build the appearance of a local presence.
Wrong. It’s as safe as you want to make it. As long as your internal network is secure, your phone network will be too. Firewalls, encryption, authentication, employee training and so on make sure that your calls and data are protected. Maybe even more so than with the PSTN.
Again, not true. It works for everyone, from the sole trader to the big corporate.
The flexibility, agility, and scalability mean it’s easy to use. From a single digital line pitched at the micro-business to a full collaboration system for the business employing hundreds of people, there’s a digital phone system that’s perfect for every business, whatever your size. You can start as small as you want and expand in line with your business.
It’s a truly versatile solution, easy to set up, a cinch to use, and you can easily add more phones to it as your business expands. And the sophisticated features you’ll have at your disposal will give your customers a better, more professional experience.
Nope. Cost saving is one of the major reasons many businesses are already using a digital phone service. As it’s easily scalable, you can grow or shrink it as you need, without the significant costs you’d have to endure with PSTN.
It’s extremely cost-effective to run, too. You’re essentially paying for the service, rather than laying out for installation, operation, and maintenance. There’s no premises-based hardware to buy, no on-going maintenance costs. And with our systems, you allocate features separately to your people so you only pay for what you need.

It’s been great to work with Tony Bowden from Smart Communications SW Ltd on the businesses supporting key workers campaign which involves putting these super banners up all around the city for nurses, doctors, retail workers etc to be able to see - here’s Go Gloucestershire Communications Ltd sign below on Finley road roundabout 👏🏻🙌🏻
Great to show our support to all those who are working on the front line to keep us all safe!
It’s hard to ignore the daily COVID-19 (Coronavirus) news updates, with Coronavirus spreading across the world, countries going into lockdown, and trillions being wiped from stock exchange markets. The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has now published an emergency budget aimed at helping UK businesses brace for the impact.
With a growing concern that more of the UK’s workforce and businesses need to prepare for self-isolation, businesses are accelerating their plans to keep operating during these testing times. This article is to help you, as a business owner, put in place tools to enable your workforce to work from home with minimal impact to your operations.
For organisations that can afford to have some, or all of their employees work from home during these difficult times, there are tools you can put in place to allow your staff to ‘keep calm and carry on’.
In today’s day and age, remote working is becoming more common place thanks to technology. Benefiting both parties, employees can work remotely when out on the road and can work from home to fit around family life. And for employers, you can retain talent within your business, as well as attracting new recruits by offering flexible working.
With all of the above in mind, as well as unsettled weather forecasts and infectious outbreaks to consider, enabling staff to work from home should be an important
.
As a Managed IT Service partner, it’s in our nature to frequently road test our business continuity plans. Fortunately, we have put in place tools and cloud-based applications to enable agile working, which has helped during recent adverse weather conditions causing road closures, preventing some staff from driving to the office. By utilising powerful, yet relatively inexpensive tools and Cloud-based services, we can keep communications flowing, allowing our teams to share and save documents securely, and most importantly ensure that all our services continue to run smoothly for our customers.
For starters we use Microsoft Teams, a secure chat-based collaboration tool (that the Ministry of Defence also use) to give remote and dispersed teams the ability to work together and share information. Individuals can use the one-to-one chat function and team chat (so not to block up email inboxes), and for document collaboration, acting as a secure central repository for files. Externally, we use Teams for some of our customer meetings using the video conferencing functionality, to help minimise travel time, costs and even our overall carbon footprint. You can also extend teams to your phone system, allowing you to have everything working seamlessly through one tool. You may find this Microsoft demo video helpful.
Office 365 offers several business benefits, boasting advanced security features, greater user productivity through collaborative working, and scalability, allowing usbusinesses to flex with a monthly licence subscription. This cloud-based system doesn’t ‘lock in’ like on-premise solutions – which can be more vulnerable to flooding, physical break-ins etc. but enables data to be stored in the cloud, securely backed up across multiple machines providing greater overall resilience. Our workforce can work from anywhere as and when needed, alleviating the concern over growing employee self-isolation.
Virtual Desktops allow employees to access their work computers remotely. They are a secure and scalable solution, whereby the operating system and personal data are stored on a network hosted anywhere (and not on the hardware itself), accessed using secure log-in credentials. Virtual desktops can be scaled from 5 individuals to 500+ people logging in, with no data ever leaving the data centre, keeping an organisations data secure.
Cloud-based telephony is a solution to consider for future business continuity planning. It provides a portable solution, giving employees access to their phones from anywhere including smart phone devices. Scalability is a big selling point, with flexibility to add new users, numbers and even whole new sites through a web portal if needed. They have an uptime SLA of 99.999% and their own built-in disaster recovery plan when offices are no longer available. In our Service Desk environment, we have also opted for the soft-phone option, avoiding the need for handsets on desks, increasing mobility and saving money.
Hopefully, this article has helped shed some light on the tools and services you may want to consider putting in place to prepare for staff self-isolation and for a more robust business continuity plan. These tools don’t require heavy investment and can reduce costs, increase productivity and provide the necessary flexibility for individual business needs.
If you’d like advice or support on any of these technologies, please get in touch by calling 01452 238866 or email us at support@gogloscomms.co.uk and speak to one of our cloud service experts. Having tools like these in place will go a long way to improving your overall operational resilience and will enable flexible working.
