Telecom.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euphoria.co.za\/pr\/?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_campaign=BusinessTech_May2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Euphoria Telecom\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> intelligent VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), cloud-hosted PABX business phone solution makes it possible to save between 30% to 40% on calls and more than 50% on monthly PBX spend.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The power of total control<\/h3>\n<p>In a challenging economic environment, businesses need to manage their expenses more frugally than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Telecoms solutions, though of significant cost to the business, are often taken for granted, and not considered as an avenue for optimising expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>Modern, affordable cloud technologies empower businesses to take control of costs without having to sign up for long-term, binding contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses can also capitalise on the added benefit of a selection of fully scalable, optional features; including CRM (Customer Relationship Management) integration, cost management systems and a completely mobile-enabled workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Euphoria\u2019s innovative, cloud-based business telephone system offers full control through its built-in Telephone Management System (TMS), which assesses call costs, revealing exactly which users and departments are spending the most on calls.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Hardware takes a back seat<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud-based business communications solutions cut costly start-up and ongoing capital expenses and free up IT resources.<\/p>\n<p>For example, using an on-premises PBX server requires ongoing maintenance \u2013 usually from a dedicated IT service team on-site.<\/p>\n<p>With a cloud-hosted system, no server is needed and hardware setup is minimal, with remote support.<\/p>\n<p>As the system is hosted on the internet, upgrades happen automatically in the background online.<\/p>\n<p>No on-site hardware is required to upgrade when adding new features and technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Calls can be made using a choice of devices and no dedicated desktop phone hardware is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, where traditional PBX systems are a pure capital expense (capex), cloud-hosted VoIP systems fall under SaaS (Software as a Service) expenses, which are 100% tax deductible as operational expenses (opex).<\/p>\n<p>With Euphoria\u2019s cloud PBX, you can still make and receive calls to and from landlines.<\/p>\n<p>But the system transmits calls over the internet using a softphone on your laptop, a mobile device (using a dedicated app), or a desk-based IP handset, should you choose to use one.<\/p>\n<p>Simply invest in the devices you\u2019ll be using on the network, which will either plug in via a LAN cable or operate wirelessly.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">A solution that grows with your business<\/h3>\n<p>Euphoria\u2019s cloud-hosted PBX systems are fully scalable.<\/p>\n<p>Connect anything from three to over 1000 employees to the network, adding and removing extensions as needed, with free inter-branch calling and low, fixed per-minute or per-second rates.<\/p>\n<p>Euphoria offers a true cloud PBX platform with real flexibility and scalability.<\/p>\n<p>Customers only pay for the features they need.<\/p>\n<p>They can pick and choose modules from over 200 options, depending on what features they require, and this can be changed at any time as the business grows.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Save on calls<\/h3>\n<p>Euphoria offers some of the best rates through its quality service offering, which is specifically tailored for the South African market.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other service providers, Euphoria is not licensing an overseas product with dollar fees.<\/p>\n<p>Euphoria\u2019s solution provides 24&#215;7 local support with a local cost structure and fully transparent itemised billing.<\/p>\n<p>The TMS allows users to control costs on every extension, viewing exact spend, numbers dialled and call duration.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers can be blacklisted or whitelisted at will, and outbound calling can be restricted for inbound call centres.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, cost limits per extension can be implemented for employees that don\u2019t need to make many calls.<\/p>\n<p>Prepaid or postpaid call packages are also available, for absolute control of call costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euphoria.co.za\/pr\/?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_campaign=BusinessTech_May2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Euphoria
