Traditional PBX vs a cloud-based phone system If you’re wondering how to make your business phone ring at home, on your mobile or your PC using one phone number, deploying a cloud-based phone system is easier than you might think.
A traditional on-premise phone system is a box that would sit in your office somewhere connecting phones to the outside world. However, they require a phone line for each simultaneous call and adding new phones and maintenance usually requires a technician to visit onsite at a hefty cost. Today, cloud-based technology means businesses can replace outdated phone hardware. A cloudbased phone system does not require onsite PBX hardware and avoids maintenance costs. Cloud-based phone systems can help workforces be more productive as their desk phone can follow them, take messages, email them and conference them. Phones connect over the Internet so incoming calls can be answered anywhere in the world and outgoing calls appear as though they are dialled from the office phone number.
