Do your teams want to work remotely? Traditional PBX systems tie your staff to their desk phones on-site at your premises. That’s the only place your setup works. A hosted PBX or VoIP phone system works wherever your staff have an internet connection. They can flick on their mobile phones and access all the calling features they need.
Would it be more efficient to have one solution for all channels? Many businesses use multiple communication channels—SMS, instant messaging, video conferencing, and more. A VoIP service can unite these channels on one platform, as a unified communications system. That can bring both improvements in efficiency and cost savings.
Do you want your communications to outlive traditional telephone networks? In many countries, the traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) is being phased out. SIP trunking could help you get some extra use out of traditional infrastructure, but—ultimately—hosted systems are the most future-proof options.
