Don't want to make a big up-front investment in your new phone system?
Have several small offices that need to be on one phone system?
Fearful that if you bought a phone system it could become obsolete?
If the above describes your situation, you might be a candidate for a hosted PBX. Traditional telephone systems require you to purchase a telephone system and maintain it over its lifespan.
A hosted PBX is provided as a service for which you pay monthly. The equipment resides at the provider's location, so the only equipment required in your office is telephones. Phone calls travel over your internet connection so you can eliminate your local phone lines too. Add a snazzy PC interface that provides users with unified messaging (voice mail in your email), call logs and easy-to-use conferencing and you've got a winning combination.
For some applications, it's the perfect product. However, it's not for everybody. For example, you will pay a monthly fee for the "right to use" that system for as long as you use the service, unlike a PBX that you purchase outright. Contact us for a thorough analysis of your needs and see if a hosted solution is the right one for you. |
