It may seem like businesses everywhere are flocking to cloud communications services, in part to reap the economic rewards and flexibility benefits. But, according to some experts, small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) may not be embracing the trend as much as others.

Among the top reasons SMBs may be reluctant to embrace cloud communications are the fact that SMBs may be experiencing uncertainty about which provider or technical approach to use; there are concerns about getting locked into a provider; there is worry that there will be a lack of interoperability; there exists skepticism about the geographic reach; and there is concern that it will be impossible to get multiple applications that work together, according to a recent post on Light Reading (News - Alert).

Luckily for SMBs experiencing these sentiments, there are many cloud communications providers ready to quell these concerns, including Telesphere (News - Alert). 

Telesphere, a company advocates consumers to adopt its “Telesphere Difference,” was set up specifically to address SMB concerns and help them enjoy the “extensive service and features” generally available only to larger corporations—all without the “cost, hassle, and limitations of traditional systems,” according to company officials.

Telesphere centralizes all of the functionality of a traditional PBX into a central softswitch for the whole country so that SMBs do not need to purchase an expensive PBX (News - Alert) for their office and then pay a technician to maintain it. By connecting a customer’s office with a private and dedicated pure IP T1, Telesphere is able to provide all telephone and Internet service through a “hosted” solution.

Telesphere offers flexibility, simplicity and power through its cloud communications services. Some advantages of Telesphere are that customers are offered premium voice and data services, no matter what solution they need or where they are in the country; that Telesphere uses SIP trunking to enhance customers’ existing PBX with the latest in IP features, and that Telesphere uses a completely private IP network for voice transport, not a public internet connection, ensuring the most reliable and secure service with all the security that you need.

In other Telesphere news, the cloud communications company recently discussed how it has been able to hone a one-of-a-kind business solution because of its partnerships and the Telesphere.

“The Telesphere ecosystem provides an ultimate end-to-end cloud-based communications solution for our growing network of Channel Partners to market and sell, allowing them to ‘hook their wagon’ to a growing and financially sound partner in Telesphere,” said Clark Peterson, CEO of Telesphere, in a statement. “In the past five years we have secured $50 million in funding from first tier venture capitalists. Telesphere has also been able to attract the support of market leading technology partners while building our management team.”
