15+ Years Experience

Fully Remote

Flexible Engagement

Modernise voice across your organisation—confidently, securely, and with measurable outcomes. VoIP Consulting Leicester from BhavPro guides you from assessment to go-live with a platform-agnostic approach covering Teams Phone, 3CX, Zoom Phone, SIP trunks and SBCs. Within the first engagement we baseline call quality, map your numbers and dependencies (alarms, lifts, telecare), and design a phased plan to move from PSTN to All-IP with minimal disruption. We then integrate telephony with your CRM/helpdesk, implement clear UK GDPR retention rules for recordings, and establish governance so your new system stays reliable and cost-effective.

FAQs: VoIP Consulting and All-IP Migration Leicester

When should we migrate off PSTN in Leicester?
Although national timelines are set, the safest path is to phase migration early. We de-risk critical services, schedule porting waves outside peak hours, and maintain a rollback path. The aim is to spread change, not create a single risky cutover.
Teams Phone vs 3CX — which is right for us?
It depends on your estate, contact-centre needs, and admin preferences. Teams Phone shines in Microsoft 365-led organisations and pairs well with Direct Routing/Operator Connect. 3CX excels when you want deep PBX control, flexible routing, and powerful queues. We run a pilot to validate assumptions before committing.

 

Can we keep our numbers during migration?
Yes. We plan phased ports with test numbers, parallel-run for critical services, and clear user comms. Inbound call paths are verified with scripted test plans before each wave.
How do you handle call recording and GDPR?
We set a lawful basis (e.g., legitimate interests or consent where appropriate), define retention per team/role, enable encryption, and limit playback access. A DPIA documents the approach, subject-rights procedures, and safeguards.

 

Do you integrate with our CRM/helpdesk?
Yes. We implement click-to-call, screen-pops, auto-logging, and outcomes in Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, ServiceNow and others. Managers get dashboards for conversion, SLA adherence, and call outcomes.
What about QoS and reliability?
We baseline QoS, specify codecs and policies, tune SBC/carrier settings, and deploy monitoring. Alerts are set on thresholds and SLAs. We design emergency calling and survivability where needed.

 

Will AI change how agents work?
We apply AI to remove toil—summarise calls, tag topics, and surface trends. Humans review/approve outputs. We measure quality and only automate where results are proven.

 

How fast can we go live?
Assessments typically complete within weeks. Pilot and phased rollout timelines depend on porting windows, training pace, and integration depth. We’ll give you a realistic, resource-aware plan.

 

Are you tied to any vendor?
No. We’re vendor-neutral and select what fits your goals, budget and compliance profile.

 

Can you support multiple Leicester sites and remote teams?
Yes. We plan capacity per site, secure remote policies, and ensure consistent user experience across locations.
