Upgrading equipment has a range of benefits that gives a business a competitive edge. This is specifically true for the businesses that work with a technical setup installed at their workplaces. However, things are different now as most workplaces have switched to virtual workplaces that promote remote working. And in such a scenario, relying on a stationary setup installed in an office can be quite stressful, therefore, opting for a solution that resolves this issue and also facilitates remote working, becomes a must.
Businesses that look for robust communication systems should switch to a hosted PABX also called hosted phone system, to meet the needs of the time. There are ample reasons to know how much value a hosted PABX can add to your business. However, it is also important to understand what a hosted PABX system is.
What is a Hosted PABX or Hosted Business Phone System?
A hosted PBX system enables the service provider to offer their services through an off-site cloud-based server that can direct calls anywhere. The overall package includes equipment, technical support and dedicated connections for all individual connections for designated individuals in the company. A hosted PABX phone system offers business phone services that run on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Value Addition through a Hosted PABX System
Reliability –
Hosted PABX gives reliable communication support to businesses. Every call through the hosted PABX is connected without lagging response time, lapses or delays in call quality. Since the system is hosted locally via a secure and resilient data centre, it ensures improved quality compared to traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) connection. This also eliminates the challenge of on-premises systems such as infrastructure issues, power supply, scalability, redundancy and mobility extension of desk phones.

In addition, easy call transfers to specific sales staff according to specific clients and requests is an added advantage. Such features along with voicemail-to-text opportunities can be extremely useful for improving sales and serving customers more effectively.
Scalability –
Since PABX phone systems are extremely scalable, it is quite easy for all types of businesses to scale up or down according to their requirements. They can add or remove connections, new phone lines or even expand the services to a new branch in real-time. Such scalability in the business phone services can aid a business with major advantages such as simple relocation process, seamless communication, ability to access people from almost anywhere in the world, flexibility along with a protected network.
