No matter what your product or service, if you are early in the process of launching a new startup company chances are you have more than a few items on your “to do” list. While many of those tasks are surely important, we’d like to humbly recommend you start by harnessing the power of an enterprise PBX system using our new cloud-based phone service—the aptly named Cloud Phone.

Why? Because by leveraging this new application you may be able to cross several other items—like effectively budgeting seed money or projecting a professional image—off your list. Need more proof? Here are the top three reasons to start your business off with Cloud Phone: 

Before your small business makes the switch to a VoIP service provider, you should know some basic info. The good news is that all of the answers you need can be found in one place- in your current phone bill.

Getting to know what you're paying for when you pay for your small business's phone service today, and getting to know how much that costs are the first steps in understanding how switching to VoIP service can save your small business money or provide new useful features that you don't currently have access to (because your current provider charges too much for them or simply doesn't offer them). 

The decision to break away from a major label and start your own artist representation agency takes both courage and faith in your ability to spot and promote talent. Leaving a major agency typically means forfeiting a steady paycheck—at least for awhile—and leaving behind resources with which to pursue artists. But it also gives you the freedom to go after your own goals, dreams and the music you love.

Just like its fluffy white namesake before a thunderstorm, the cloud business solutions market is expanding rapidly. In fact, a recent report from market research firm ResearchMoz projects the sector will explode from $34.7 billion in 2013 to $123 billion in 2019, with a large chunk of the growth owing to the businesses adoption of cloud-based phone and communications systems.   

Through the years, you may have heard some of your more pragmatic friends and family say that they only feel comfortable relying on what they can see and touch. In many instances this is probably a sound philosophy. But when it comes to phone systems, it is a pure fallacy. The fact is, a small business virtual phone system offers peace of mind that a legacy PBX simply cannot match.

Wired business telephone solutions, while eminently touchable, are susceptible to various failures and disruptions. If a heat wave causes a major power outage, for example, a legacy phone system goes down. A hardware malfunction? Down. A tree branch falls on a power line? Out. A new deployment installed incorrectly? Kaputt. 

Do you find yourself in a perpetual state of packing and unpacking? Is your personal theme song the Allman Brothers’ classic road anthem “Ramblin' Man?” Do you think of your bedroom at home as more of a pit stop than a destination? If you answered “Yes” to more than one of these questions, congratulations, you are living the life of a traveling salesman.

Chances are that at one time or another you’ve had the frustrating experience of calling a business after hours simply to leave a message and enter into a maze of voice prompts asking you to “push 3” 12 different times until you are ready to pull your hair out. If you’ve had that experience, you may also have done your best to make it a one-time thing by taking your business elsewhere.

Do you ever find yourself dreaming about breaking away from the day-to-day office grind and starting your own business? Do you fantasize about being your own boss? Perhaps over time you have even gone as far as to develop a business plan, line up investors and tinker with your product until you feel it’s ready to take the market by storm.

Today we've announced a very cool partnership agreement -- Lenovo will be preloading a Voxox icon and embedded link onto popular Lenovo consumer laptops... 5 million of them!  These laptops will include the U530, Y510, Flex 15 and many other models.

In a customer’s mind, nothing is more off-putting and unprofessional than calling a business and receiving a full voicemail box, busy tone or worse -- having no answer at all. Fortunately, with new and improving cloud-based technology, even the smallest businesses can boast sophisticated phone systems like big Fortune 500s without breaking the bank. So, if you’re running a one-man show or have only a handfull of team members, how can you make sure your phone system is up to par? With a Hosted PBX solution.
