Introduction
A hosted PBX system has many advantages over traditional premise based PBX systems; the days of costly on premise PBX systems are over. Our customers enjoy the benefits of a hosted PBX system, which lowers their costs, makes them more efficient and gives them more flexibility. Powerful telephone features used to be reserved only for those companies that could afford traditional pbx systems, but now small businesses can enjoy these same benefits without a large investment in hardware.
Major Differences
There are many major differences between a hosted pbx system and the traditional on premise pbx system found in many offices.
- Lower up front investment - Traditional PBX systesm are costly to purchase and install and often require the knowledge of an experienced installer to setup and configure. In comparison a hosted pbx system does not require a large up front investment as there is no PBX system to purchase.
- Wiring - A hosted PBX does not require telephone wiring. Instead you can use the existing cat5 wiring present in your office or home that your computer uses to connect your hosted pbx telephone or soft phone.
- Flexibility - A hosted PBX system lets you easily upgrade, change features and expand your service without the need for a technician, additional wiring or upgrades to your PBX hardware. In fact, with a hosted PBX system you can work from anywhere at anytime which isn't possible with most traditional pbx systems.
- Redundancy - Traditional PBX systems can fail and don't have any redundancy. In the event of a hardware failure you could be without a pbx system for days while you get your pbx system repaired or replaced.
- Work from anywhere - With a hosted pbx solution your employees will enjoy being able to work from anywhere. Employees can use their cell phones, soft phones on their laptops while they travel or even install an ip telephone at their homes to reduce commuting.
- Technical support - With a hosted pbx solution technical support is provided by Easy Office Phone rather having to rely on an outside technician or installer to provide maintenaince or train staff on how to use the system.
- Easy expansion - Expansion of your service to new offices is as easy as installing telephones or using your laptop. With traditional pbx systems you would need to install additional hardware at each location.
