How Would Your Business React After A Disaster?

After the hectic Christmas and New Year break I’m sure most of us can’t wait to get back to the normality of work!  However, as I am sure you have seen on the news over the past few weeks the devastation in Northern England has had a massive detrimental effect on the area, not only to the people whose homes have been destroyed, but also to the business’ that will definitely not be looking forward to trading this week.  They will unavoidably spend their time working out how they can get up and running again.

This inevitably leads to the question: How would your business continue to trade if disaster strikes?

The problem with traditional fixed line telecommunications is it isn’t very flexible.  What a lot of business owners don’t appreciate, until it’s too late, is the limitation on their lines when a problem occurs.  For example, how would your business cope if you had your 5 telephone lines all pointing at 1 mobile phone?  How would your staff make calls, etc?  You get the picture.

One of the benefits of a Hosted System is the call routing flexibility in times of need, or normally in times of change.  I always say to prospective client, ‘How would your business cope if it lost its main advertised telephone number?’  This question is normally very thought provoking and very often leads to a very real concern that this could easily happen.  Therefore, my next question is always ‘What would you do if you couldn’t get into the office due to a natural influence (floods, snow or possibly worse fire damage, etc)?’ 

It’s important to have a plan and it’s even more important to have the technology that allows you to develop, not only on a day to day basis, but in the event of a disaster, quickly and seamlessly - with Hosted Telephony you get this.

Our Hosted Solution even has the ability to apply these features automatically so before you even know there is a problem it’s activated implementing the predetermined disaster plan.

A Hosted System is the only choice for any business that relies heavily on their telephony and a business that needs to be in control of where they work. It allows the freedom and flexibility businesses need to continue to communicate in any situation.  It could also mean the difference between a company surviving a disaster or folding due to lost business.
