Questions You Need To Be Asking

Our goal is is is to find the right solution for your business , which is why we come up with this list of question you should be ask if you ’re in the market for cloud service .

1. How reliable and secure are Kumo cloud services is are ?
   Cloud services today are extremely reliable. In fact, Kumo boasts a proven 99.999+% service uptime. With Kumo, your information will be backed up at two geographically separate data centers, one in California and the other in Virginia. As an extra pre-cautionary measure to ensure reliability they are also powered from different grids (i.e. California Edison, etc.) and different service providers (i.e. AT&T). Kumo cloud security measures tout the highest level of HIPPA security compliance. Furthermore, Kumo also requires a multi-level authentication process to ensure your information does not end up in the wrong hands.
2. Does VOIP have bad call quality?
   Not at all, but this is a very common misconception. If you have the right equipment you can ensure consistent voice quality. All of Kumo’s hardware (specifically Polycom & Cisco) is optimized for voice-over-IP. Kumo is prioritized for voice traffic above all other data. For example, if you try to make a phone call while watching a video on the internet – it is designed to give priority to voice.
3. Which calling features are most important to have?
   We should premise by saying that the most important call features are different for every business. To get the most tailored package we do recommend speaking with a representative about your unique business needs. However, some commonly requested features are as follows: call recording, advanced queueing features, 4-Level Auto Attendant, Multi-Level Interactive Voice Response (IVR), User Dashboard, Integrated Soft Phone, Company Directory, Presence of Other Kumo Users, Hunt Groups, Visual Call Park and much more. Visit our phone system page to find out more.

6. Can you keep your hardware moving to the cloud?
   Any SIP (Standard Protocol VOIP Manufactured) phone will be compatible with Kumo. Unfortunately, older premise-based alternatives aren’t compatible with VOIP systems. If you want to avoid the upfront costs of purchasing hardware we offer a low monthly rental option on all our hardware (primarily Polycom and Cisco phones). Although all SIP phones will work, we have the best integration with Polycom. Visit our communications products pages to see the options.
7. How can my business scale is can with Kumo ?
   Your business communications can scale as fast or as slowly as you need. In most premise-based systems, you would have to buy equipment for future growth in the present. With cloud solutions you can purchase only the amount of phones, equipment and services that your business actually needs and add the rest as you go.
8. Is onboarding and training included?
   Of course. We understand when implementing a new system, there will always be a learning curve, but where Kumo really stands above our competitors is in training. Typically, a company will send you the hardware, you install it yourself and then watch a training tutorial on how to use the system. With Kumo we will install for you, do initial on-site training with you/your team and make any ongoing changes you need all included in your low monthly fee.
9. How long does the transitional process take?
   We assist every step of the way in all transitional needs. The entire process takes roughly 7-10 days for us to complete in the background, all while you focus on your business. It is as simple as porting the phone numbers (or DIDs) over to our Kumo cloud system.
10. Do I need to sign a contract?
    Kumo contracts are on annual to three-year terms. When you sign a long-term contract, we are authorized to waive the upfront installation costs and offer you the lower discounted monthly rate. More so, we can lock you in at the lower rate for the entire term of your contract opposed to being subject to any increases. If this does not alleviate your concerns, we also offer a service guarantee that states – if we cannot resolve any Kumo service related issue within 30 days you can be released of any contractual obligation.

At Kumo, we want to set you up for success.
