Man scratching head and thinking deciding - Hosted VoIP Phone Systems

Traditional or premise-based PBX phone systems are solutions were the phone system server is installed at your business premises. Nowadays you would always consider VoIP for on premise systems using SIP lines (Internet based telephone lines) as opposed the more traditional options of ISDN and analogue. In fact, BT released a statement in 2015 that it would stop taking new ISDN orders in 2020. This is with a view to ceasing all lines by 2025, making VoIP the technology of choice.

VoIP (or Voice over Internet Protocol) just means phone systems that work via the internet, rather than relying on wires. With Cloud based hosted VoIP telephone systems, we use the internet to connect all your extensions to each other and the public phone network. With a hosted VoIP phone system, you would still buy the telephones, setup and training, but instead of purchasing the telephone system processor, you simply pay a monthly rental for ports on the platform.

If you are still relying on a traditional PBX in your organisation, it could be time to consider moving to a hosted solution to realise all the benefits that cloud-based telephony has to offer.
