Communications Can Save It
Cloud communications technology not only offers
more flexible ways to communicate and
collaborate, but its your best bet for business
continuity in the face of disaster.
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.

"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!" Sean O'Donohoethen Vice
PresidentAllstate Insurance

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, youre 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. Mehdi SalourVP of network
