Why use a cloud phone system for your business communications?

Businesses all over Australia are discovering the benefits of leaving behind traditional phone systems and embracing cloud solutions for their communications instead.

Traditional phone systems oblige businesses to invest in the installation and maintenance of expensive and clunky on-premises hardware. This isn’t cost-effective, particularly for small businesses.

With Dialpad’s cloud-based platform, you don’t need to buy hardware or hire an IT team to maintain and manage everything. All you need is an internet connection, and you’re ready to go, anywhere, on any device. You can take advantage of a whole host of additional features and functionalities, too.

Traditional phone systems vs. cloud phone systems vs. Dialpad’s UCaaS platform


Traditional phone systems

Cloud phone systems

Dialpad’s UCaaS platform

Business phone number set-up

Often a lengthy, tedious and expensive process.

Easier, but can still require on-site maintenance.

Can be set up in just minutes.

Hardware and maintenance costs

Expensive, requiring substantial investment in hardware upfront and engineers to maintain them.

Not as steep; modern versions, such as cloud PBX, hosted PBX or virtual PBX systems use up-to-date VoIP technology and IP phones, but may still need maintaining. Rarely the most cost-effective option.

None (unless you choose to have desk phones or other hardware).

Cost effectiveness

Not great. In addition to the initial and ongoing costs. You don’t get much more than a phone line.

A slightly better option overall, but may be limited. Other communication channels like video conferencing and team + SMS/MMS messaging may be paid add-ons.

Dialpad’s most basic pricing plan gives you phone calls, video meetings, messaging, and more.

Features

Typically just basic phone system features that require copper wires and hardware.

Internet phone calls, with phone features like call routing and IVR, which may be paid add-ons.

Unlimited calling, Ai- powered real-time voice transcriptions, call recording, and much more.

Integrations

Typically none.

May have integrations with other software, depends on provider.

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 on the Standard plan. CRM integrations (Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot, Zoho CRM & more) on the Pro plan.

The best cloud-based phone systems can be set up in minutes. With Dialpad, you can add phone lines, create ring groups, and set your business hours in your online account in real-time. It's one of the biggest perks of having a cloud solution, and you can't do that with a PBX phone system (which takes days or weeks to do something similar).

Fully integrated UCaaS + CCaaS

If you have contact centre teams and need more than just a cloud phone system, Dialpad has a cloud contact centre platform that's truly integrated into its phone system. One login, one account, one user experience.

Every cloud phone system should come with a desktop and mobile phone app. Dialpad’s apps work across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac—and even works on web browsers so you can make calls from your computer or smartphone. No more provisioning desk phones (unless you want to.)

The best part? It’s built right into the platform, no add-ons needed.

    Visual voicemail single item card v2

    Cloud phone system FAQs

    What is a cloud phone system?

    A cloud phone system enables users to make phone calls over the internet rather than via copper wires or optical fibres like traditional phone systems.

    In a traditional phone system, the service provider routes calls through the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) or an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). More modern systems use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), which connects phone calls over the internet.

    When you sign up with Dialpad, there’s no need to set up any complicated equipment or expensive hardware on-premises. This makes it one of the best small business phone services available. It’s straightforward, cost-effective, and flexible enough to suit all your business needs.
