What is a Hosted PBX Phone System?

A hosted PBX is a cloud-based, virtual PBX phone system that delivers secure, reliable phone service for a business or organization through your Internet connection instead of a privately managed call controller or server that you own and operate yourself.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Your organization connects to your hosted PBX company
This connection remains active at all times, ensuring dependable performance

You make a call from your VoIP device
The VoIP device converts your analog voice into digital packets

Your hosted PBX phone system routes the call through the Internet to the hosted PBX service provider
The digital packets are then converted to match the destination format

Your call is delivered to the recipient
All this happens faster than you can say, “Hello?”

The result: seamless functionality without the added cost of major hardware purchase or maintenance.

With hosted PBX, your business can maintain the connections necessary to flourish in a constantly evolving business landscape. The idea is simple: provide businesses with the communications features they need while eliminating the expense of unwieldy and costly equipment. Avoid spending time and money monitoring an on-site PBX system. Skip the ongoing costs of maintaining your system yourself. Streamline your business’s telecommunications process—discover the advantages of a hosted PBX.

SAVE MONEY WITH HOSTED PBX

Cut the unnecessary costs

On-premises phone systems require you to purchase a large set of equipment up-front, which is valuable initial capital that you may be able to use elsewhere

Get more for less

A hosted PBX service gives you the same real-time voice and collaboration experience as a traditional PBX system with the added benefit of advanced calling features, all while saving you time and money with one low monthly cost.

Leave the maintenance to us

Down the line, when that traditional PBX equipment needs to be updated or even fails, you’re on the hook for those costs. With a hosted PBX, all back-end equipment is owned and maintained by the hosted PBX provider—that’s one less thing to factor into your bottom line.

UNIFY YOUR WORKFORCE AND STAY CONNECTED

Business happens everywhere, not just in the office—so why keep your phone system there? Unexpected outside factors may prevent employees from making it into the office on any given day. But the foundation of your business isn’t the physical space in which it’s located. It’s the sum of its parts—the people who make it happen.

With a hosted VoIP PBX, you can tie together a geographically diverse workforce with a central phone system located securely in the cloud.
A hosting platform in the cloud can deliver ultra-high reliability and seamless disaster recovery so you always stay connected to colleagues and customers.

In short, a hosted virtual PBX is a safety net—fire, flood or a simple down power line won’t stop business as usual. Take the power from the power lines and put it in the cloud.
