How is cloud telephony different from internet telephony,VOIP, and services like Skype
Cloud calling, which is a subset of unified communications as a service (UCaaS) that provides voice communication services, is sometimes referred to as cloud telephony and is pertinent in a corporate setting. A telephony system must be installed, whether it is an internet-based VOIP system or a PRI/PSTN-based PBX system, at a significant capital cost.

Cloud telephony services relieve organizations of the expense of purchasing and storing stand-alone hardware, such as PBX boxes, and allow users to make calls directly from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection.

My company’s SDR (Sales Development Representative) and customer support team mostly use Exotel to place and take calls from potential customers or buyers who need support. In essence, it gives us access to a single, shared cloud platform where we can place calls at affordable prices. Every call placed through the platform is also recorded, which helps us monitor call quality and take care of our calling team’s training requirements. Additionally, it benefits our clients and leads by enabling quick and simple communication with our staff to address their issues.
When we launched our offshore site in India, we utilized EXotel. It talked of having a platform there.
