9 Reasons Not to Ignore Your Aging Phone System
Your aging phone system might be costing you more than just headaches.
WHAT’S THE SECRET TO BUSINESS SUCCESS?
There are many reasons, but much of it has to do with communications, both internally and externally. The world of work has changed dramatically, driving the need for flexibility and agility. An aging phone system doesn’t offer this freedom. It literally ties you to a specific location, and that doesn’t align with modern business operations. If you want to stay connected to your customers and foster employee collaboration, you need a robust phone system that enables this through various touchpoints, and you can find all of these in a cloud communication platform. Such a solution consolidates all necessary tools — phone, video conferencing, chat, business texting, and secure file sharing — in one.
So, what’s keeping you from upgrading? Failure to do so puts your growth, customer retention, and operational efficiency in danger.
It’s time to explore what you can gain by leaving your legacy phone system in the past.
CONVENTIONAL PHONE SYSTEMS AREN’T VIABLE FOR MODERN TIMES.
Telephones have been part of the human experience for nearly 150 years, and innovation around them has never stopped. However, aging phone systems still rely on an architecture that’s not agile and only serves your employees if they’re in an office.
Today’s workforce needs mobility, as most organizations are shifting toward a hybrid structure. According to data from Gartner, by the end of 2023, 51% of US knowledge workers will work hybrid and 20% will work remote.
AGING PHONE SYSTEMS CAN’T KEEP UP
An aging phone system cannot support this new dynamic. Companies that don’t bring modern communications solutions to the table could risk losing employees, as 83 percent of all workers prefer the hybrid work model. Organizations have learned that for employees to be effective and productive, they don’t all need to be in one location.
What workers do need to ensure improvement across the board for internal and external communication is the right technology.
EXPECTATIONS HAVE CHANGED
Legacy phone systems cannot meet these new demands. Nor do they align with customer expectations. A lot of frustration can result from customer service gone wrong. In fact, around 33 percent of customers feel the most frustration from waiting on hold and having to repeat themselves. Additionally, 67 percent end a call in exasperation when they can’t reach an agent.
To serve your customers based on what they expect from you, you’ll need to make contacting you simple, offer multiple channels for engagement (e.g., phone, chat, business texting, email), and resolve the issue in the first interaction. An aging phone system won’t help you meet these expectations!
A MODERN SOLUTION
A modern cloud communications platform provides all the features and functionality needed to support mobile workers and meet your customers’ needs. You’ll enjoy reliable connectivity, high call quality, omnichannel options, and more. It’s also easy to deploy and maintain.
