The way we communicate in the workplace has completely changed.
Ten years ago, “the office” meant desks, landlines, and a shared conference room. Now, your team might be spread across multiple offices, homes, and even states.
Here’s something most businesses don’t realize: the phone system that got you here might not get you where you want to go.
Voice is the backbone of collaboration, customer experience, and productivity. There are modern solutions that fit how teams actually work today. The challenge is knowing which one makes sense for your business.
Let’s break down the options.
1. Voz en la Nube (Hosted PBX): The Flexible, Modern Choice
If your team is remote, hybrid, or growing fast, cloud voice is probably the future you’ve heard about.
Instead of relying on hardware in a dusty closet, cloud voice systems run over the internet, giving your employees the freedom to collaborate from anywhere.
- No equipment to maintain or upgrade.
- Scales easily: add users or adjust plans anytime with predictable per-user pricing.
- Works anywhere: integrates with mobile devices, laptops, and CRMs.
- Built for reliability on a strong network (like fiber).
- Open APIs enable automation, reporting, and custom integrations.
Best for: Hybrid or remote teams, and growing businesses that need advanced call features, analytics, SMS, and CRM or workflow integrations.
Tradeoffs: Relies on WAN and last-mile network quality (QoS).
2. Voz Análoga: Old-School but Reliable
Not every business needs all the fun tech features. Sometimes you just need a phone that works every single time.
Analog voice is a dependable, straightforward option that keeps critical systems connected, like fax lines, alarms, and point-of-sale systems.
- Simple setup with no training required.
- Works with existing wiring and hardware.
- Proven reliability.
Best for: Businesses that rely on traditional phone systems or safety lines, from healthcare and government offices to rural sites where IP connections can be spotty.
Tradeoffs: Limited features and not ideal for hybrid work; with carriers phasing out copper lines, costs for POTS replacements are rising.
3. Voz para Microsoft Teams: Built for Collaboration
If your company already uses Microsoft 365 to chat, share files, and send meeting calls, then there’s no reason to juggle a separate phone system.
Microsoft Teams Voice turns your Teams app into a full-featured business phone solution. Your employees can make and receive calls directly within Teams, from any device and anywhere.
- Unified platform for chat, video, and voice.
- Familiar interface with no learning curve.
- Integrates seamlessly with calendars, contacts, and email.
- Strong security and compliance with M365.
- Expanding AI tools for transcripts, recaps, and meeting insights.
Best for: Businesses using Microsoft 365 that need secure, compliant collaboration across remote or hybrid teams and multiple locations.
Tradeoffs: Performance depends on network readiness, SBC setup, E911 configuration, and overall device strategy.
