How can we help?
Unified Communications Platform Built for UK Businesses
With the UK’s Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) permanently shutting down on 31 January 2027, over 500,000 business lines still need to migrate away from legacy ISDN and copper-based telephony. Rising Openreach costs and the deadline mean businesses relying on ageing PBX systems can no longer delay the transition.
Microsoft Teams Phone replaces traditional telephony with a cloud-based communications platform, combining enterprise calling, video conferencing, chat, and file sharing in one solution. Trusted by organisations of all sizes, Teams helps businesses modernise communication while reducing complexity and costs.
At Rydal Group, we deliver end-to-end Teams Phone deployments, integrating SIP trunks and Session Border Controllers into your Microsoft 365 environment for a smooth transition from legacy systems. One provider, a simpler migration, and reduced costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cloud Computing & Servers
No jargon, no pressure — just a clear path from where you are to genuinely secure.
What is cloud computing, and how can it help my business?
Cloud computing allows your business to use IT resources such as servers, storage, applications, and processing power over the internet. Instead of relying entirely on hardware at your premises, you can access the technology you need through a cloud environment. This can make it easier to support remote working, scale your infrastructure, and manage IT costs.
What cloud computing services does Rydal offer?
Rydal provides cloud solutions designed to support different business requirements, from hosted infrastructure and cloud storage to cloud migration and managed cloud environments. We can help you identify the right approach for your business and ensure your cloud services are properly configured, maintained, and supported.
Is cloud computing suitable for small businesses?
Yes. Cloud computing can be a practical option for small businesses that want access to reliable IT infrastructure without taking on the full cost and responsibility of maintaining their own servers. Rydal can help you choose a solution that fits your current needs while allowing room for future growth.
What are the main benefits of moving to the cloud?
Moving to the cloud can give your business greater flexibility, easier access to data and applications, and more options for scaling IT resources. It can also reduce the need for on-site infrastructure and make it easier to support employees working from different locations.
Can Rydal help us move our existing systems to the cloud?
Yes. Rydal can help businesses plan and manage cloud migrations, including assessing existing infrastructure, identifying suitable cloud services, and moving data or applications where appropriate.

We had a great experience working with Samantha Wilson from Rydal. She upgraded our office phones and mobile plans, clearly explained everything and saved us money in the process. The engineer handled the installation quickly and without any problems. Would definitely recommend Samantha and the team.Posted on Google![]()

A corporate decision saw us move our broadband and telephone system to a new provider who offered a more favourable package both financially and in terms of the services offered and they commissioned Rydal, who would be responsible for the planning, the supply of all equipment, installation and every part of the operational requirements, both during installation and moving forward. Within our company I have the responsibility for the entire system in relation to requirements and operational needs and therefore my interaction with Rydal was immense. Our order consisted of 75 fixed desk handsets and 11 walkabout telephones over 20 different sites in addition to the broadband installs, new fibre cabling involving (sadly) Openreach, who performance and organisation was abysmal. From the start Rydal sought to introduce any relevant personnel and explain the part they would play. It was also an opportunity to ensure clear lines of communication were established and our expectations could be clearly defined. Our key individual was our Project Co-ordinator, Angela Melvin and I can say with all sincerity that I don’t know what we would have done without her, she was an absolute star and poor Angela had to pick up all the shortfalls of Openreach, which she did admirably. This was quite a sizeable project with many complexities and restrictions owing to the nature of our business where a service had to remain 24/7 and be worked around staff shift patterns etc so hurdles were going to appear from time to time, but each time they were presented she would overcome and resolved in a calm and civilised fashion. Angela was never once phased; she would use such a fantastic phrase when I called her with an issue it was ‘leave it with me’ and you could be confident that it would be dealt with and outcomes fed back. Her tenacity and commitment to task was nothing short of commendable. If anyone heard me speaking with her you would think I was talking to a friend – our professional relationship went from strength to strength. If anything arose that she was unsure of, she was not too proud, given her knowledge and experience, she would refer and discuss with colleagues ensuring at all times that the correct information was relayed back. She was so instrumental to ensure that the installation was planned with absolute precision, and the installers were 1st Class (Simon and Will) who made every effort ensure client satisfaction and their necessary interaction with our IT engineers was superb as was Angela’s. Our ‘Down Time’ on switchover day was absolutely minimal and scheduled accordingly owing to company needs. Personally I cannot thank her enough for her support and assistance. Dion O’Byrne (Chanel Growth & Strategy) was another individual who played a key part from the offset and was always there to ensure customer satisfaction and that all initially discussed requirements to be achieved were fully met upon completion and that we had an effective operating system and equipment. There were No empty promises which can so often be the case when trying to clinch a deal. Training on the system was comprehensive and if in doubt there was always someone to bail you out and put you on the right track. Of course I was sceptical initially as I was happy with our old providers and the system we were using, however now we are all fully equipped, and the system is complete I would recommend Rydal without a shadow of a doubt and I am so very pleased we moved over – the system is excellent, the portal is so user friendly and every single one of them at Rydal are at the end of a phone, more than happy to assist – If they say they will call you back, you can rest assured that they will. If you were in doubt as to whether to change suppliers I would recommend ‘Move Providers’ as I am so sure you would not be disappointed. Val Alder Personal Assistant to the MD and Head of Co.
