The switch-off represents a chance for businesses to embrace a mobile-first, omnichannel approach to communication, unifying voice, video, emails, messaging, webchat, and more. This integration empowers employees to work smarter and enhances the customer experience.

For small businesses and their IT service provider partners, modernization depends on deploying feature-rich, affordable technology that simplifies complexity and delivers tangible efficiency gains. Choosing the right product and vendor is crucial.

“Cloud-powered, unified communication is no longer just for larger enterprises; small businesses must also embrace transformational change to keep pace with modern work trends. What may seem like a major undertaking can be easier than they think,” says Arya Zhou, Head of Global Sales at Yeastar. Yeastar’s recently launched P520 IPPBX digitizes voice calling and seamlessly integrates it with video, messaging, and customer experience into one platform.
