• Initial Cost Savings-When you have all of your telephone equipment in the cloud, you see the savings right at the beginning.  And you are also looking at a cost reduction in your maintenance.  Now you have ease of use with the new user interface, and all maintenance is handle remotely by your provider.
  • Ongoing Cost Savings- The savings keep rolling in with reduced channel (line) charges.  Even though they are typically just a small savings monthly it does add up over time.  And with most providers the channels that are coming in can burst to give you a higher call volume than your typical telephone line.  For example:  3 Traditional telephone lines= 3 simultaneous  calls.  1 Hosted Channel = 1 Talk path that can burst into 4 simultaneous calls.  Which is also good for companies that do a fair number of conference calls. So not only do you save about an average of about $10 a line, you get more bang for your buck.
  • Geographical Flexibility-  You are now allowed to work outside of your office giving you the presence of a united force in the office.  Employees can now work from anywhere and be reached at anytime through the telephone system as if they were sitting in the office next to you.
  • Local Presence-  A Hosted PBX system allows you to get local virtual telephone numbers in cities where you are not physically located.  This allows you to create a virtual presence or open a virtual office in cities that you might have a client base to give you the edge over a competitor that is located in that city or territory.
  • Credibility-    One of the biggest positives small business will benefit from is the professional sound and accessibility.  Now you will have the same sound and functions of your larger competitor.
  • Scalability- For a start up business that has the plans to grow in the future.  This is a perfect application for you.  To add a user is low in cost and very easy to set up.  This solution is for the growing small business.
  • Quick Setup-  The installation process is painless.  Unlike your traditional PBX,  the Hosted solution is for the most part plug and play.  The set up requires installation of a router and plugging in your telephones.  There is a small bit of programming to set up extensions and a few features such as the Auto-Attendant.  But depending on the size of the business should be able to be up and running in a an hour or two.
  • Ease of Use-  End-user management of a Hosted PBX is far more user-friendly than is the case with traditional solutions.  Intuitive web interfaces mean that anyone can manage, monitor and make changes to the service at anytime, without needing any specialized skills or experience.
