As 2025 rapidly approaches us, there is still a large proportion of UK businesses that are not prepared. There are some that are not even aware.
Aware of what I hear you ask.
Next year, BT will be disconnecting all UK landlines in commercial properties. They first announced this ‘switch off’ in 2021 so we can hardly claim we’ve not had enough notice. Yet despite all this, there are still hundreds, no thousands of businesses still using the old traditional BT landlines whether they be analogue or digital (ISDN2). And, if you don’t act soon, you are in danger of losing your telephone number indefinitely.
So, what needs to happen?
Effectively, you need to upgrade your telecoms system to an IP or cloud-based solution. In other words, you’ll be utilising the Internet to make and receive calls. Therefore, the quality of your internet connection is key.
This is where companies like Convergence can help. We have years of experience of migrating businesses into these new solutions with virtually no disruption. And a bonus is that you’ll have access to the phone system across several devices – software on your PC or laptop or an app on your mobile phone. This is allowing businesses to function remotely and satisfy the hunger of today’s workforce. Remote working is a thing and it’s here to stay. So, not only will you be future proofing your business, but you’ll be also able to offer flexible working. And often, we’re finding teams are more efficient in these types of environments.
