Hosted PBX - The Better Phone System
Your business needs phones. More specifically, your business needs an organized, clean phone system. Modern PBX solutions have revolutionized this requirement by stepping away from old phone systems that haven’t changed much in over 100 years and the old fashioned way of doing things: multiple phone lines that rack up your phone bill (for a big company this easily hits the thousands) and inconsistent service. Enter the PBX.
What is a PBX?
A PBX (an acronym for Private Branch Exchange) is a telephone system that allows for users to communicate internally and externally, typically through VoIP channels. Now this revolutionary system greatly streamlines a business’ phone system but it still requires hardware; enter the choice between hosted PBX (hardware maintained off-site) or on-premise PBX (hardware owned and kept on location by the business).
Why Hosted PBX Is Better
Having your PBX hardware kept off-site by a service provider offers a plethora of benefits for a business. A hosted PBX is accessible by the business via the cloud, meaning all your business phone calls can be made from your browser or even an app. But it gets better:
- No upfront costs - since you are not responsible for buying any of the hardware required. An on-premises solution requires space, wiring and a budget to get up and running.
- No maintenance - any issues on an on-premises solution will be handled only by you or a professional that you hire. A hosted solution is maintained by the provider, leaving them responsible for any potential issues.
- Easy integration - hosted PBX allows for easy integration with even the oldest of systems. This means limited downtime, and employee freedom in calling from their applications of choice.
- Unlimited scalability - is your company growing? Need to add more lines? Expansion is a service provider call away. No need to purchase larger or stronger hardware, just expand and take advantage of your new features.
- Better management - hosted PBX providers have been servicing businesses for years, which means they know exactly what you need to analyze and manage your company. This means detailed call logs, optimized mobile design, and advanced analytics to show you every single detail of your business’ phone system.
Hosted PBX - Budget Friendly Freedom
The freedom and benefits of a hosted PBX solution are massively appealing to any business looking to step from the past of old phone systems to the modern standard of PBX. Gain access to the limitless features offered by PBX, leave the stress and technical requirements needed to build and maintain the system with the provider, and reap the benefits of everything being saved in the cloud. Work from anywhere, call from anywhere, with no upfront setup costs – true freedom.
