Hosted PBX
for Business
An affordable and flexible phone system for your business.
WHAT IS HOSTED VoIP?
Hosted ‘Voice over Internet Protocol’ (VoIP), in the form of hosted cloud or hosted ‘Private Branch Exchange’ (PBX) systems has all the features of a traditional business phone system, but with significant cost savings and increased flexibility. Extremely cost effective to install, VoIP offers more affordable phone bills and call costs than those of a traditional business telephone system.
HOW DOES HOSTED VoIP WORK?
VoIP takes your audio recording and turns it into digital signals before using your broadband connection to send those as data. At the other end, the data is transferred back into audio for the person on the other end of the ‘line’. The process is the same as that of a normal telephone line, except that the conversation takes place over the internet. All exchanges are completely secure as our hosted phone platform is a closed, data-encrypted system.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A HOSTED VoIP PHONE SYSTEM?
-
Cost effective: No ISDN phone lines, expensive hardware, specialised engineers or on-site PBX systems required means a significant decrease in cost, as all calls will take place over the internet. Local calls will typically see a 90% reduction in cost, with international calls seeing a saving of 40%.
-
Free or reduced calls: Whether you’re in the office, at home or abroad, the cost of your calls will be included in your monthly broadband subscription. VoIP to VoIP calls are cheaper and/or free between sites., locally and internationally.
-
Accessibility: Available via your laptop, iPad, tablet and PC, a VoIP system ensures you never miss a call, regardless of the device you’re working from. A hosted phone system can also help to streamline the work environment, by linking to other applications, such as CRM systems.
-
HD voice quality: Experience crisp, clear conversations with high definition quality as good as, or even better than your current business telephone system.
-
A combination of traditional and additional features: With all the same functionality as a standard business phone system, including voicemail, messaging, conference calling and call recording, VoIP also incorporates additional features such as the ability to make and receive simultaneous calls, hold conference calls with an unlimited amount of people and extra telephone numbers.
-
Scalable: As your organisation expands, so can your business phone system. All you need is additional extensions and handsets.
-
Call Routing: All your incoming calls will be transferred to the location and device of your choice, before going to voicemail. Whether you’re working from home, off-site, in the office or travelling between locations, your number will follow you everywhere.
-
Virtual numbers: Managing calls from clients couldn’t be simpler, with the option to have a local number assigned to the area code of your choice. When anyone using that number calls you, it will be automatically transferred to your phone, regardless of where in the world that may be.
-
Disaster preparation: Unforeseen issues can always occur, but as long as you have access to the internet, call routing can be set up with just the click of button, meaning your business will stay in business, regardless of whatever problems may arise.
-
Minimal hardware required: The only hardware you’ll need in the office is a router, cabling, managed Enconvo connectivity and a choice of HD quality handsets. Any repair work or upgrades will be done over the internet.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR A HOSTED VoIP PHONE SYSTEM?
You need to ensure you have a high speed internet connection. While this may cost extra, the reduced cost of calls is likely to more than offset any investment. You may also like a physical phone handset or a softphone for your computer/laptop.
