Pack Cloud Communications with Your Picnic This Summer

Ah, the tail end of summer time and the living is easy…or at least it should be. But let’s face it. As the owner of a fledgling company, summer is really just another season. That’s because securing VC funding and identifying the avant-garde technologies that will take your company to the next level is much more important than picnicking and beaching.

But what if you could achieve a perfect work-life balance and do both? Thanks to cloud communications you can. Whether that summer lunch takes place during the work day with a prospective business partner or on the weekend with your kids, you can remain connected thanks to the functionality afforded by cloud communications applications. For example, by leveraging Cloud Phone for your small business system, you can take advantage of the following capabilities while enjoying the nice picnic spread:

• Auto attendant, or the virtual receptionist that can professionally route your callers to your mobile device to uphold the guise that you are at the office
• Voicemail-to-email notification so that your voicemails can be delivered as voice packet attachments to your cell phone so you can respond to calls in real time
  
  
• Reach Me Anywhere, a capability that connects incoming business calls to you and your staff wherever you choose across any device

With spending on cloud services expected to surge to more than $180 billion by 2015, now is the time to cast your eye toward such technology if you have not already done so. Moving critical applications to the cloud—like your small business phone system—will not only save you money by allowing you to forgo expenses related to maintaining hardware and systems upgrades, it will also augment your productivity.
