Benefits of hosted PBX.
There are many ways to implement a VoIP system in your enterprise. Due to the flexible nature of the Internet and the scalability of the VoIP infrastructure, you can choose the architecture that’s right for you. As you undoubtedly know, one of the ways to switch your organization’s communications is to go for a hosted PBX VoIP solution instead of an in house one. Simply put, this means that you route your IP calls over your Internet Telephone Service Provider’s (ITSP’s) proxy server. There are many benefits to this, but in this article we look at the single greatest advantage.
VoIP is a complicated system. This is partly because of the very things which give it a powerful advantage of regular phone systems. The infrastructure necessary to create, maintain and upgrade a business VoIP system is considerable. You need to have the hardware (of course) like the servers and the routers, the software to run on them, the skills and manpower to configure the software, tweak it and take care of its day to day runnings, the space to host the hardware, the support services to ensure that it stays up and running, and the cash to power all of the above. It’s a mammoth enterprise and though you have maximum flexibility and control over it, it can quickly become a white elephant for you as technology changes and new systems and procedures come into being.
Most organizations don’t have the ability to handle such a big addition to their business – especially if they’re small or even medium sized. Even if they have the funds to support such a complex network, it diverts attention from their core business and for a firm which can’t rest on their inertia, such a diversion can be fatal. It’s not enough to have the resources to implement a project. Every fledgling system requires dedicated time from management to ensure that it doesn’t end in disaster.
A hosted PBX system can relieve a business of these burdens while still delivering the benefits which VoIP is famous for. Think of it as web hosting. You don’t actually host the servers on which you website runs, but you still get all the benefits of having your website. The hosted VoIP paradigm is much the same – only on a much more complicated level. Call your ITSP today to find out how you can begin enjoying the features of VoIP without all the hassle.
