When Disaster Tests Your Business, Cloud Communications Can Save It
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and a host
of other recent natural disasters, many
small and medium businesses (SMBs) are
finding a silver lining in the Cloud: the kind
of geographical diversity in communications
and backup that can keep a business
running, even when the immediate area
around the office is devastated.
Cloud communications technology not only offers more flexible ways
to communicate and collaborate, but it’s your best bet for business
continuity in the face of disaster.

"Before 8x8, my insurance agency was damaged by
Hurricane Ike and the day after the storm, customers
who called in to set up their claims heard a recording that
said "This number is no longer in service" for 45 days
after the storm! If I had 8x8 before the storm, everyone
could have taken the phones with them and we could
have been in constant contact with our customers!"

“If your entire communications solution is running in the
Cloud, as long as you or one of your employees can
access a mobile phone or the Internet from
anywhere, you’re still in business, while everyone else
is scrambling to react. To your customers, your
business can still appear to be functioning normally.
Calls can be routed to mobile devices or remote
employees’ computers, and you can still receive and
respond to voicemail messages.”
