When Disaster Strikes: is your VoIP Provider Prepared?

The reality is,

all Hosted Business VoIP providers are not equal.  When disaster strikes, many of these providers fall short on response and do not offer automatic re-routing of calls, or, for that matter, any re-routing whatsoever!

What will happen to all your important phone calls if you lose power or if your internet fails? Most solutions will simply forward them to the “auto-attendant” or “voice-mail,” possibly losing them in the mix! In our Hosted Business VoIP Solutions, Open One’s “PizaBoX” calls can be automatically re-routed to cell phones or other chosen devices.  In fact, you actually have a web-based management portal which allows you to take complete control of how to re-route your calls, once disaster strikes. At Open One, we will customize and create disaster recovery auto attendants or interactive voice responses (IVR’s), which will then re-route specific calls to a cell phone or even a ring group, which can ring to multiple cell phones simultaneously.  By being proactive, we can allow your business to continue operations running smoothly, no matter what the damage.

Don’t let your business be a disaster statistic. The following is a list of questions all customers should be asking their Business VoIP provider:

    • What happens to calls when we lose our internet or power?  Are they simply routed to our current IVR’s and extension voice mails?

    • Do you offer a solution which will automatically re-route my calls to a separate IVR or cell phones? (If so, then ask for a demo, as we have found a demo can be crucial to proven performance.)

    • Can your system administration panel be accessed remotely? (Another integral element which allows you to manage your voice system remotely!)

    • Can your extensions be cloned to an app on your IOS, iPhone and/or Android device or even your laptop?  

    • Do you offer the ability to have special emergency only IVR’s which can re-route calls to a cell phone or group of cell phones?
