The Seattle-Metro area has been pounded with snow (all things relative) the past few days, leading to many businesses struggling to operate. I have no doubt many businesses are losing money because they aren’t able to get calls or otherwise keep in touch with customers.
A modern IP PBX (phone system) can help weather the storm, pardon the pun. For example one of our customers we remotely set their system to forward to the answering service to ensure they don’t miss calls while staff is out.
Other companies with remote IP phones are able to let staff stay home while still making and receiving calls as though they were in the office.
Usually we focus on the cost saving and ease of use advantages of IP Phone Systems, but on weeks like these - its easy to see they help with bad weather situations as well.
