A new plug-and-play IP phone system aimed at small businesses has been launched by BT Business.
BT Cloud Phone offers a range of features including the ability to transfer calls to employees working out of the office.
The system is hosted in the cloud, which means that customers can access it from anywhere there is a BT Internet connection or wi-fi, and it removes the complexity of installing central processing hardware in the premises of small businesses.
Graham Sutherland, CEO, BT Business, said: "As businesses look to technology to help them increase their productivity, enhance flexibility, and control costs, we are seeing IP and cloud-based communications really take off.
In addition to the range of BT IP phones customers can also use a softphone on their PC, or having installed the BT Cloud Phone app use their iPhone or Android smartphone.
The system is looked after, maintained, and run by BT Cloud Phone, backed up by a dedicated service team and an online portal which allows customers to manage the system.
