The Benefits of Hosted PBX

By Michelle Amodio, TMCnet Contributor

Moves and relocations are considered a significant event in the life of a company. Aside from the obvious equipment and furniture moving, there’s a lot to consider when picking up, packing up, and moving from point A to point B. The majority of the stress lies in how to pick up, pack up and move your telecom system. Some things are really easy, and some are not so much.

Imagine sitting at your desk in your new premises and you notice that it’s too quiet. You realize that the telephones aren't ringing. It turns out your provider is still routing calls to the new tenants at your old premises.

This is where a hosted PBX (News - Alert) system could be beneficial to moving your company from A to B.

With a hosted PBX solution, there is no need to contact your old provider and figure out a move date to turn on your phones at the proper time, only to end up in a ringer (no pun intended) like the aforementioned situation. Packing a moving an on-site PBX phone system only adds to the stress already in place when moving an entire company, never mind that it’s just a set up for some serious problems.

In addition, with a hosted PBX solution, you can not only keep your number, but there is absolutely no coordination required with your service provider. With a hosted PBX, it’s already there for you, in the cloud, so no physical movement is necessary.

When you rely on a hosted PBX system, moving can be on your own terms, not on someone else’s. You can worry about more important things, like the layout of the office, or hanging that brand new meeting room dry erase board.

Hosted PBX means your company can easily connect remote offices together and maximize the power telephone systems. Callers can remember one number but be directed to employees around the world without any extra effort.

Moving to new premises usually means a growing business. With a hosted PBX system in place, you can also easily add new staff extensions and voice mail without a technician’s visit.

The bottom line is, when it’s time to make that checklist to get your company picked up, packed up, out the door and up and running, add hosted PBX so there’s one less thing to worry about.

A hosted PBX will provide your business with flexibility, mobility, and cost savings without compromising quality, reliability and advanced features.
