What is Hosted PBX?
Hosted PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is the modern version of the traditional telephone closet. The new hosted, or “cloud”, model provides small, medium-sized businesses and enterprise organizations with a sophisticated phone system while minimizing equipment costs. With Hosted PBX, businesses replace phone closets with professional maintained data centers, helping businesses transform their communications and improve productivity. A service provider handles management and monitoring of your phone system 24x7, freeing up your internal IT resources to focus on business-critical tasks.
What is Hosted VoIP?
Voice over IP (VoIP) refers to phone services that are accessible through a high-quality broadband connection. It is typically more cost effective and scalable than traditional alternatives. By implementing a Hosted PBX & VoIP solution, your employees can work from the office, home, on the road, or through their smartphone – all while utilizing your business’s deployed communication solution.
