THE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

Make your legacy telephony simpler, more resilient and easier to manage

Old lines, mixed systems and local workarounds can quickly become difficult to support, secure and justify. Modernising gives you the opportunity to simplify your estate, protect service continuity, and relieve pressure on IT without creating more disruption along the way.

Replace legacy voice

Move from ageing systems to a modern cloud-based phone system. Dependencies on PSTN, ISDN or an existing PBX can make future planning more difficult.

Keep numbers controlled

Keep important numbers protected throughout the move. Before any change begins, we map number ownership and identify the call flows or services that depend on them.

Protect continuity

Build resilience into call routing from the outset. Customers and teams still need dependable calling throughout the migration and after the new cloud phone service goes live.

Everything you need to move voice forward with confidence

 

Estate discovery and scoping

Understand your current voice estate before change starts, including key users, number ownership, supplier dependencies and migration requirements.

Number migration and management

We document number ownership and manage the porting process, with added care for critical numbers and service dependencies.

Cloud calling foundations

A dependable business calling solution with a cloud phone service built around your organisation’s needs, users and tools into one managed communications environment. 

Call-flow design

We configure Interactive Voice Response (IVR), and the routing rules that help calls reach the right place. This can include hunt groups, call queues or time-of-day settings.

Cutover planning and testing

We plan and test the cutover before go-live, with a clear route back if an issue occurs. This helps minimise avoidable disruption.

Operational support and assurance

We provide ongoing operational support, backed by documentation and controls aligned to the complexity of your service. PCI-compliant telephony is also available where secure telephone payments are required.

Future-ready service planning

Build a voice foundation that supports future reporting requirements, new service integration and conversation intelligence.

Fully PCI DSS Compliant

We support your organisation’s ability to take secure phone payments for customers and suppliers with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.

The solution: designed for demand, built for speed

Replace fixed capacity with flexible call handling

City View moved beyond a four-phone model to a modern hosted telephony service that enables up to 13 staff to log in and handle calls. Teams can now respond quickly to demand, cover absences more easily and direct resources to the busiest lines in real time.

Modernise call flows around patient needs

Build a voice service that keeps improving

Live dashboards, detailed call analytics and accessible call recordings give the practice greater control over performance, staffing and service quality. Managers can continuously refine call flows, strengthen governance and use real evidence to support recruitment, training and complaint resolution.

Managed voice modernisation FAQs

Is managed voice modernisation simply about replacing a telephone system?

No. Managed voice modernisation reduces migration risk while protecting the numbers and call flows your organisation relies on. It also creates a stronger foundation for future cloud phone systems and communications services.

Can customers keep existing numbers?

Usually, yes. Number migration and management are a core part of the journey and Redcentric documents number ownership during the discovery stage, then plans the porting process around the agreed service scope.

How does this support PSTN retirements?

It provides a controlled path away from legacy PSTN and ISDN lines. Redcentric plans the migration around the users and services that need to remain available throughout the change.

What does Redcentric manage as part of the cloud telephony service?

The scope can cover initial discovery, number porting and call-flow configuration. Redcentric can also manage testing, cutover documentation and operational support after launch.

What is cloud telephony?

Cloud telephony is a provider-hosted calling service that reduces the need for organisations to operate telephone infrastructure on-site. Also known as a hosted phone system, it allows users to make and receive business calls across different locations and compatible devices.

What is IP telephony?

IP telephony delivers calls over an IP network and can provide features such as call queues, hunt groups, auto-attendants, call recording and desktop or mobile calling.

How do IP telephony, SIP trunks and cloud telephony differ?

IP telephony is the technology used to deliver voice over an IP network. SIP trunks modernise the external connectivity of an existing telephone system, while cloud telephony moves the telephone platform into a managed cloud environment.

How does managed voice modernisation support hybrid and mobile working?

A managed cloud phone service can let users make and receive business calls through Microsoft Teams, compatible desk phones or mobile applications. They can keep a consistent business number wherever they work.

What is Extend Mobile Calling?

Extend enables users to make and receive business calls through a smartphone’s native dialler. It can separate personal and business calling while bringing mobile users into central call control, recording and reporting processes.

How can a PCI-compliant telephone system support telephone payments?

It can help protect cardholder information by masking payment details, preventing sensitive information from entering call recordings and integrating telephone payments with approved payment processes.

What should businesses look for when comparing hosted telephony providers?

When comparing hosted telephony providers, consider how they will manage number migration, protect critical call flows and support the service after launch. The right partner should understand your operating needs, with a clear continuity plan for the move to cloud telephony.
