Using a Hosted PBX rather than a traditional telephony system presents a number of key advantages to businesses.

• Substantial cost savings: With a Hosted PBX solution, the telephone system is operated by your provider. Therefore, you do not need to make a large upfront investment by purchasing an office telephone system and there is no extra maintenance fees. The monthly price of a Hosted PBX starts at less than $80 per month. There is also usually a setup fee starting at around $1,300.

• Better presence and visibility: A Hosted PBX system allows you to get local telephone numbers in cities and countries where you are not physically located. This allows you to develop your virtual presence by opening a virtual office anywhere.

• Increased scalability: Traditional phone systems are not flexible. Scaling up would require the installation of new circuits as well as additional termination hardware at specific increments. With a hosted system, you can scale up and down easily and quickly depending on your business needs.

• Increased credibility: A hosted PBX can give businesses more credibility by presenting their clients with a professional sounding telephone solution. This is specially true for small businesses as professional and advanced features are generally very expensive when using a traditional telephone system.

• Quicker Setup: When compared to a traditional telephone system, a virtual PBX can be setup very easily and quickly.

• Increased geographical flexibility: One of the greatest advantages of Hosted PBX systems is that they allow employees to work from anywhere while keeping their office phone number and extension.

VoIP technology allows to converge voice and data onto a single unified network. Therefore, business VoIP is mobile and you can access your telephony system wherever there is Internet connection. This great accessibility is crucial for field staff, travelling executives, and employees stationed in multiple locations. Moreover, many useful features that are either costly or absent with traditional PBX systems are standard with IP-PBX systems. These features include call forwarding, electronic messaging, auto-attendant, three-way conferencing, advanced call distribution, and many more.

If you are looking for a business telephony solution and you don’t want to bother about maintaining a telephone system, a Cloud PBX is the solution. Cloud PBX is a phone service which is 100% hosted and provided through the Internet. In this case, your VoIP provider is responsible for the maintenance of your hosted PBX system.

A big benefit of Cloud PBX is flexibility: you only need to buy the base system and you can easily add extensions and features based on your new needs. Traditional phone systems are less flexible as you would need to pay more or install additional wiring if you want to add another phone line. As Cloud PBX operates through the Internet, it allows you to have a telephone connected to the Cloud PBX with no geographical boundaries. You can automatically have your Cloud PBX system call your mobile phone and stay connected on the move.

VoIP and Cloud PBX systems become increasingly popular as they represent effective solutions to companies that require a flexible and accessible phone system without compromising performance and reliability.
