Sky Business, the broadcaster and telecoms firm’s B2B arm, has announced a new cloud voice product which it says enables teams to work from anywhere.
Powered by Webex by Cisco, the introduction of Sky Business Cloud Voice comes ahead of the planned switch-off of Openreach’s Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in January 2027.
Sky pitches its new offering as a “solution that ensures greater flexibility and mobility, underpinned by its expert team and round-the-clock customer support.”
It adds that Sky Business Cloud Voice “is particularly well-suited for businesses in retail, hospitality, real estate, franchise operations, healthcare, and growth tech, which require a flexible and cost-effective way to manage communication across multiple locations.”
Key benefits include:
- Work from anywhere: teams can stay connected no matter where they are or what device they use, with high-quality business calling and advanced call features that make hybrid working easier.
- Better collaboration with Webex by Cisco: businesses can boost teamwork with features including high-definition video conferencing, instant messaging, and real-time screen sharing. Sky Business Cloud Voice also seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Teams if businesses are already using it.
- Better value: Sky Business Cloud Voice is a cost-effective and adaptable solution that helps businesses to transition away from more costly traditional phone systems and easily scale their communication needs as they grow.
Damian Saunders, MD, Sky Business, Mid-Market & Enterprise, said: “Businesses are looking for smarter ways for employees to communicate, that support productivity, are collaborative, and future proofed.
“With Sky Business Cloud Voice, we’re offering a solution that not only meets these needs but does so in a way that is cost-effective and scalable.”
Mayuresh Thavapalan, Commercial and Marketing Director, Sky Business, added: “At Sky Business, we’re committed to helping UK businesses thrive, by providing an ever-growing range of tailored and reliable connectivity solutions.
“Our products are designed to work better together, so customers that choose Sky Business for Cloud Voice in combination with any of our business grade internet connectivity, such as Broadband or Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), can expect the best possible voice or video calling experience as well as seamlessly integrated customer service.”
