As technology advances Cloud PBX continues to prove itself as a reliable, future proof and cost effective telephony solution. Those who remain unconvinced as to the benefits of using a Cloud PBX system need only read further.
The Benefits of Cloud PBX
- Cloud PBXย systems are ideal forย businesses of all sizesย and can scale from one extension to thousands.
- Ideal forย multi branch environments, the cost of putting down a PBX at every branch and managing each individual device becomes exceptionally costly and complicated.
- Cloud PBX allows forย centralised management, changes are made centrally and pushed to each site requiring the change or update.
- Upgrades can be done on the fly. If you require more users, itโs a simple change on the main cloud system. Additional phones can then be plugged into the network andย no onsite work is required.
- Cloud PBX isย future proof. It will always use the latest technology. You may only need Cloud PBX to begin, but as your organisation grows it starts to demand UC (Unified Communications) this is a simple feature upgrade.
- Feature add-onsย like automated attendant (IVR), voicemail to email, video and call recording can be done swiftly and easily.
- The central Cloud PBX is typically carrier grade; itโs built to be incredibly reliable so the chances of the main device breaking are minimal. The biggest potential point of failure would be the connectivity from your site to the main cloud PBX. For this reason itโs advisable toย use a reliableย internet service providerย who understands how to run voice correctly over a share data link.
- Installation times and deployment of cloud are up toย 5 times fasterย than a hosted system. No complicated work needs to take place on site making it extremely quick and efficient.
- Small businesses now have access to theย features and functionality of an enterprise system, which traditionally was only available on the high end on-premise systems.
- Cloud PBX is theย best solution to load shedding. The main system is housed in a secure data centre, often with different power feeds, backup generators and UPS. If the power to your main site fails, the Cloud PBX can forward the calls to different numbers or cell phones.
- Theย risk of theft is minimisedย if the PBX doesnโt reside on site.
