They can also make conference calls, park and pick up calls, and answer calls forwarded to groups of extensions, known as ring groups. That’s not to mention all the new capabilities that IP makes possible, such as listening to voice mail messages through e-mail or another online interface, or placing calls by simply clicking on names in onscreen address books.”

Hosted PBX Systems Advice
Hosted PBX System Overview and Basics

Hosted PBX systems provide your business with the latest features and equipment, for a fraction of the purchase price of traditional PBX systems. The main advantage of getting a hosted PBX system as opposed to purchasing your own system, is that you will not have to purchase any hardware or software for the system. In other words, your business will save money on up-front setup costs and support costs. With a hosted PBX system, your business will always have the latest phone equipment without incurring capital depreciation costs. Your only ongoing expense will be the monthly service fee that you will negotiate with your vendor.

In addition to enjoying advanced features like advanced call routing (to any phone), distributed administration capabilities and better call capacity handling, hosted PBX systems enable your business to scale more effectively. With a hosted PBX system, your business will be able to tap into the latest call features as your business grows. Additionally, hosted PBX systems provide a high level of fault tolerance, making for a more robust telephone infrastructure at a relatively low cost.

Hosted PBX systems do have some drawbacks. With a hosted system you will not be able to have real-time system monitoring, true automatic call distribution (instead of simply hunt groups) or easy extension dialing. All of these drawbacks stem from the fact that the PBX system is hosted offsite. However, most businesses find that the cost savings associated with a hosted PBX system often offset these drawbacks. Additionally, hosted systems are not limited to a specific number of lines or concurrent calls, whereas in-house PBX systems are. With traditional PBX systems, if you are operating under normal call capacity, you may be wasting money on extra capacity; if your call volume is over your normal capacity, you will lose customers to busy signals. Hosted PBX systems completely eliminate the need to worry about capacity, since hosted systems flex to your business demands; ultimately, you pay only for what you use.
