CloudOffice
What is CloudOffice?
CloudOffice PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a virtual phone system that uses internet-based technologies to manage and route calls, rather than relying on traditional hardware and phone lines. It allows businesses to access and manage their phone systems through the cloud, providing flexibility, scalability, and cost savings.
How does CloudOffice differ from a traditional PBX?
A traditional PBX relies on physical hardware and phone lines to manage calls, while a CloudOffice uses internet-based technologies and virtualises the system in the cloud. This allows for easier management, better scalability, and reduced costs compared to traditional PBX systems.
Is CloudOffice secure?
Yes, CloudOffice providers typically use encryption and multiple layers of security to protect calls and data. Additionally, reputable providers adhere to industry security standards and best practices to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their services.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers?
No. We do not port existing numbers to ORENCloud. You choose new numbers from our available numbers.
What features are included with CloudOffice?
CloudOffice offers a wide range of features, such as call routing, voicemail, call recording, auto-attendants, call queues, conference calling, and integration with third-party applications like CRM and collaboration tools.
What about faxes, how can I send or receive them?
With ORENCloud, you can easily send, receive, and manage faxes through our convenient Fax Portal. Additionally, you have the option to receive faxes as email attachments for added convenience. If you already have a fax device, we can help you connect it to ORENCloud using a small ATA (analog telephone adapter). This enables you to continue using your existing equipment while taking advantage of the benefits of our cloud-based faxing solution.
Can I use my existing phones with CloudOffice?
It depends on the specific phones. Most modern VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones are compatible with CloudOffice, but older analog phones may require an adapter to work with the service. It’s essential to consult with us to determine compatibility and any additional requirements.
Do I need a high-speed internet connection for Cloud PBX?
Yes, a medium to high speed and reliable internet connection is crucial for CloudOffice to ensure good call quality and minimal latency. It’s recommended to use a dedicated internet connection or prioritise voice traffic on your existing network using Quality of Service (QoS) settings.
How can I ensure call quality with CloudOffice?
To ensure call quality, choose a provider like CloudOffice that offers reliable infrastructure and robust call routing capabilities. Additionally, ensure that your network has sufficient bandwidth and is optimised for voice traffic using QoS settings.
What does CloudOffice cost?
The cost of CloudOffice depends on the number of users and any customisation required, such as connecting your own lines. Cloud PBX systems are generally more cost-effective than traditional PBX systems because of lower upfront costs and reduced maintenance. We offer monthly subscriptions in tiers based on features and number of users, from about RM 9 per user per month. See CloudOffice pricing.
How easy is it to scale a Cloud PBX system as my business grows?
One of the main benefits of a cloud pbx system is its scalability. You can easily add or remove users, adjust features, and modify call routing rules as your business grows or changes. Most providers allow you to make these adjustments through a web-based portal, making it easy to manage your phone system without any specialised knowledge.
What kind of support can I expect from a Cloud PBX provider?
ORENCloud’s CloudOffice offers various support options, including phone, email, live chat, and online knowledge bases. We also offer dedicated account managers for larger businesses, ensuring personalised and prompt support when needed.
Can I call the emergency number 999?
Yes. Outbound calls to 999 work from ORENCloud phone lines. Like any internet phone, the call needs a working internet connection and power, so keep a mobile phone as a backup. Tell the operator where you are. We have not confirmed other emergency or special-service numbers, so ask us before relying on them, and check the dial plan with us when we set up your system.
