We’re all keen to save some cash. While many businesses are dealing with sky-high utility bills, the cost of living is creeping up, and keeping your business agile is key, anything that can cut your overheads down is worth looking into.
So, with that in mind, have you heard of SoGEA?
In a nutshell
If you want to know the full ins and outs of SoGEA, we’ve got an entire blog here for you to sink your teeth into. But if it’s just the top lines you’re after, you only need to know three things:
- Rather than having a separate internet and telephone line, SoGEA puts it all under one system
- SoGEA is faster and more reliable than traditional copper-based phone lines
- As traditional copper lines are being phased out by 2025, getting on board with a modern, digital system (like SoGEA) is becoming increasingly important
On top of this, you’ll find that SoGEA is a more cost-effective option for many organisations. But why is this?
One system
With SoGEA, you’re essentially cutting your landline out and using a broadband data connection for everything. This makes it generally much cheaper than other common options, like FTTC or FTTP. You’re only paying for one package. One monthly bill. One supplier.
This also makes maintenance much more efficient – and cheaper – too. You don’t have to play piggy in the middle between different suppliers, who are both charging for a technician to come out to your property to get things up and running again.
Keeping it modern
Stepping away from a traditional copper cable system is likely to save you some money too. Think about it; SoGEA requires less infrastructure to set up, which means less chance of things getting damaged and costing money to repair. Plus, what’s more likely to experience technical issues: an outdated system that’s getting phased out by 2025 anyway, or a smoother, more reliable broadband system that offers stronger, faster connections? Exactly.
Moving your business away from an older system that is more likely to experience faults – and offer slower, less reliable services even at its best – is sure to save you more money down the line.
No landline rental
As SoGEA doesn’t require a phone line to be installed, this means you don’t need to pay for a number or a line rental fee. And that’s one less payment to worry about.
Instead, SoGEA allows you to take calls over the internet. This cloud-based phone system is known as VoIP. Businesses that have already switched over to VoIP have reported savings of as much as 80% on recurring costs.
More for your money
If your business makes the move to SoGEA, not only will your monthly bills decrease, but your workforce’s connectivity will increase.
As SoGEA hooks your business up to an internet-based phone system, you’ll reap all the benefits that VoIP offers. You can read more about this here, but the key thing to understand is that VoIP is the ideal system for keeping large teams connected. Today, so many workforces operate remotely, or have offices scattered all over the country. But that doesn’t matter to VoIP – as long as there’s an internet connection, your staff can be as free-moving as you need them to be. And they’ll be using a high-quality, high-speed system while doing so.
