Hosted PBX - 8 Ways It Can Save Your Business

As we continue to operate in a challenging economy it may be time to restructure your business. Hosted PBX or Hosted VoIP providers can play an important role as you find ways to reduce or eliminate high cost expenses in your business.

Hosted PBX Systems deliver advanced telephone system features as a service over the Internet. Hosted PBXs are provided with equipment located in the premises of the provider. This means you do not need to invest in a telephone system to take advantage of its rich features. In most cases, you will only need to purchase or lease the phones which are significantly less expensive.

Hosted PBX services can deliver ample savings on telephone system related bills. However, these costs are insignificant when compared to the big ones. I am referring to overhead including office space and headcount.

Here are 8 ways Hosted PBX or Hosted VoIP providers can get your company lean and mean:

1. Hosted PBX systems can provide virtual office support just about anywhere, making it possible to downsize or eliminate commercial office space and the associated high rent, utility bills, insurance and much more. Employees' home office space can be networked together with other work locations. Seamless communication between staff produces a united work environment without the cost of brick and mortar.

2. Now that employees can work from their homes in an integrated environment thru your Hosted PBX service, you can merge or eliminate separate facilities while maintaining published phone numbers that keep you connected to your customers and staff.

3. Because Hosted PBX services are provided over the Internet using VoIP, geographical distances have no impact on effective communication and call handling. Once dedicated to the support of a local office, redundant functions in your multiple facilities can be consolidated into a single entity supporting all offices. Redundant functions may include phone reception, customer service, inside sales personnel and office/facility management.

4. Hosted PBX providers can supply you with local published virtual phone numbers in any market that ring anywhere. This allows you to expand or test market areas without adding commercial office space and staff.

5. Premium Hosted PBX services offer Automatic Call Distribution (ACD). ACD organizes inbound calls similar to the line for bank tellers. If you have callers that wait on hold while other callers are being assisted, you are likely abusing them by long hold times, multiple operator ring backs and handling by less knowledgeable staff. ACD will stop the abuse, keep your callers from seeking alternative solutions and increase sales, customer service and customer satisfaction.

6. Many Hosted PBX providers allow virtually unlimited simultaneous voice calls and faxes to stream to your business. Busy lines and fax machines will no longer turn valuable business away from your company.

7. Several Hosted PBX services provide Unified Communications (UC) which delivers faxes and voicemails to your e-mail client. UC permits faxes and voicemails to be managed, stored and distributed as easily as your e-mails.

8. Typical Hosted PBX services require you only invest in telephones instead of all of the central unit cabinets, cards and labor required to install them associated with telephone systems. Now businesses can upgrade to an entirely new telephone system and eliminate all of the problems and headaches with the old system without the large capital expenditure.

Hosted PBX services give your business the flexibility to reorganize and cut big costs in addition to savings on traditional telephone bills and system hardware. At the same time, they can help your business retain and grow new sources of revenue. After you have weathered the economic storm, Hosted PBX services will help your business be more accessible, responsive, adaptable and competitively positioned.
