Businesses that choose Hosted IP-PBX VoIP would like the benefits of a PBX, but do not like the total costs associated with owning and maintaining a PBX. With Intralinx's Hosted PBX we have eliminated the cost of PBX ownership. There is no hardware to maintain and manage.
Hosted VoIP is best defined as equipment that is located at your providers secured facility unlike a legacy PBX. An IP-PBX works by replacing the need for businesses to invest in expensive hardware driven traditional legacy phone systems. Customarily the total cost of ownership for traditional PBX's is very costly. Hosted VoIP is based upon software driven system that is easiest to think in terms of a virtual phone system taken off company premise and hosted at a secured facility.
IP-PBX How It Works
Intralinx BrightVoice customers access a software driven phone system that is hosted within a secure facility providing disaster proof reroutes and backups ensuring that your business never loses its ability to communicate.
A Hosted VoIP PBX system creates extensions that are associated with a particular person within your company organization. This person can take the call on any phone, anywhere in the world. Employees typically can manage their own extensions, and enter any phone number or series of numbers where they can be reached via the find-me-follow me feature. This allows employees to work from anywhere, in the office, at a branch office, on the road, or from a home office all while receiving business calls as though they were in a single office location.
IP-PBX provides companies the luxury of mobility and flexibility for their employees and greater accessibility for customers. Incoming calls are answered at the hosting site and sent, via internet, to phones in a customer's business. No matter what happens to the existing location calls are still answered by the off site PBX. Businesses can also take their IP enabled phone with them to any location in the world with an internet connection and look as if they are still behind their desk at the office.
Mobility and Flexibility
A Hosted VoIP PBX coupled with an IP phone enables businesses, employees and telecommuters the flexibility and mobility to travel or work from anywhere, but appear as if they never left the office. An IP phone looks like a traditional phone that can be taken anywhere in the world and plugged into an internet connection. Once plugged into the internet users have the benefit of a regular office phone, but rich in feature services that derive from the software system programmed within the telephone.
