Cloud Telephony for businesses.
In a move away from on premise systems, cloud telephony solutions take the hardware out of your office, replacing it with an online communications platform.
IP telephony solutions
Cloud telephony solutions take business communication to the next level. With capacity and call handling a given, they encompass a range of productivity tools to help your teams collaborate faster and work smarter.
We use the UK’s best IP telephone providers to offer a range of cloud telephony solutions to suit your budget and requirements. We can help advise on the best IP based systems for your business and work with you to formalise a clear migration plan, saving you time, effort and money.
Switching to cloud telephony
Cloud telephony is swift to deploy, simple to manage and with your numbers hosted in the cloud, that’s a tick in the box towards your business continuity.
From video conferencing and instant messaging to full call centre functionality, cloud telephony is designed to improve the efficiency of your business.
The benefits don’t end there either, cloud telephony solutions are flexible, scalable, portable and future-proof. With a choice of traditional handsets, softphones or mobile applications, your teams can work how they want and where they want.

“Alliance Communications have been our Cloud Telephony supplier for many years. We had an on premise solution previously which was difficult to support and didn’t meet our business needs, Alliance provided an excellent service in presenting the options available and then delivering and managing a Cloud solution which perfectly matched our communications needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Miles and his team to anyone looking for Telephony services.”
