Analog Systems vs. Cloud Telephony Systems: Which Is Better?

Analog systems have supported thousands of businesses for many years. They are based on copper wires and plain old telephone service (POTS) and feature basic functions, such as redial, mute, hold, and speed dial like a home phone has.

However, they are insufficient and lack the flexibility that a business need. They do not offer much potential for expansion, not mentioning they’re costly to set up and buy. They also require a high investment to configure, maintain, and support. So, if you’re changing its extension’s location needs a professional to rewire the punchboard.

In the first year or so, you might think that you have saved money, but not. In fact, it is locking you into a system with adapter requirements if you want to integrate with CRM and VoIP, too.

Why switch to a cloud telephony system?

Analog system issues like lack of flexibility and limited capabilities are not in cloud phone systems.

Cloud-based systems are modern with advanced features like on hold, missed call notifications, and custom music.
