Cutting-edge internet phone system for small businesses gets rural female entrepreneurs talking.
25 March 2010. To help rural businesswomen who run start-up or small businesses, WiRE (Women in Rural Enterprise), has partnered with internet phone system provider Cloud Net. Through Cloud Net Connect, WiRE members can use the internet to enable free and low cost calls so that rural businesswomen can speak to like minded female entrepreneurs throughout the WiRE network, while saving money and projecting a professional image.
WiRE are part of a new national initiative to get rural business women talking to each other for free. The initiative aims to encourage WiRE members, including the businesswomen who meet monthly from Yorkshire to Cambridgeshire, to share their ideas, knowledge and expertise to ultimately grow their businesses.
"We wanted to offer our members access to green, cost-effective and reliable telephone system that would perform like that of a large company's, while keeping the local and friendly ethos of WiRE and Cloud Net's small business telephone system fits the bill, said Fiona Davies, WiRE Business Manager.
"In addition, Cloud Net's free calls within its network, free phones that we can use in the office or at home, and free set-up means we can increase networking between our members and they can plough the cost savings back into their businesses."
For a fixed fee of £8.50 a month, WiRE members receive unlimited free phone calls within the WiRE community or to other Cloud Net system users. The Cloud Net system also gives WiRE members all the features of a professional business switchboard and free telephone handsets.
The telephone system, is based on VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and gives local women-owned businesses, important features such as call forwarding, voicemail sent to your email inbox, conferencing, call recording and cheap international calls. WiRE members only pay for calls made outside the WiRE and Cloud Net network and international calls.
WiRE supports some 2,000 women in rural business by offering members a package of practical business services which now include Cloud Net's telephone system. Local WiRE networks- help members keep up to date on all the latest news whilst improving their skills and doing business.
Chairman of Cloud Net, David Hill, commented, "It's great to see best practice organisations like WiRE investing in technological advances to give themselves an invaluable competitive edge. Companies want a contact number for life wherever they are based, lower costs and the ability to operate with as many people or branches as they want, without considerable costs. This is where our leading telecoms really helps!"

Walsall based business phone systems company, Cloud Net, launched its internet-based (VoIP) telephone system to the Birmingham and Solihull business community, to an enthusiastic response, at the Business Growth Show in Edgbaston on 4th March.
“We have had a tremendous response from local businesses with 12 new prospects signed up to our first Associate Partner event on 10 March. We have also met with over 100 potential new users of our system during the day. The fact that our phone system allows small businesses and start-ups to keep costs low, whilst maintaining a professional image really struck a chord with the show’s visitors,” explains David Hill, Chairman of Cloud Net. “Our telephone system provides all the functionality of a costly PBX (switchboard) for a fixed monthly rate per handset of £8.50 along with free network calls and a free IP phone.”
The Cloud Net Connect telephone system is based around an online or ‘virtual ‘ switchboard giving users functionality such as call redirect, conferencing and call recording without the need for a PBX.

“We’re the only VoIP provider in the UK that owns and manages its own network, enabling us to guarantee call quality, a vital requirement for businesses using VoIP technology,” adds David. “We also provide subscribers with an IP handset, further reducing capital outlay, which is pre-configured for each user, to simplify the installation process.”
Cloud Net has been trialled around Walsall and Staffordshire before a full regional and national roll out. Its clients include Claims Master, FLE Group, Presteen Associates, Bringing Enterprise to Life and Breathing Space. Customers range from start-ups and freelancers to SMEs moving offices or looking to cut costs.
The company’s straight-forward pricing structure removes the complexity of purchasing and running a small business communications system over the internet. Cloud Net’s ‘switchboard in the sky’ package is offered at a fixed price per handset starting at £8.50 for a standard unit and includes:
· PBX functionality: call redirect, voicemail, conferencing, call recording and ring-back
· Plug-and- play IP handset
· Free, high-quality calls over Cloud Net’s own IP network – ideal for multiple work-sites or remote workers
