Companies of all shapes and sizes rely on communication to function as a group and deliver on their product or service. As a staple of our society, both professional and social, communication is best when it is consistent, reliable, and timely.

In the professional world, especially on the heels of a pandemic that forced many companies to pivot to a more remote model, being able to ensure communication happens on a level that can reach remote employees and satellite offices is essential. This is where having a Hosted Cloud PBX System can be an asset to a company.

What is a hosted cloud PBX system?

A hosted cloud PBX system, which stands for cloud-based private branch exchange, is a virtual, internet-based system that automatically answers calls and routes them to the correct department, branch, or extension.

This inherently allows a company that can expect a heavy amount of calls or a company that isn’t able to staff a full team of phone support specialists, to ensure that customers or clients calling their business have a positive experience by being directed to the appropriate place promptly.   

A Brief History on PBX Models

While the idea of automated calls and phone trees aren’t a novel concept, the PBX technology has advanced in a way that allows companies to be even more scalable than before. The operative word in the services WAVE.BAND offers is “cloud,” which is a giant step forward from the way traditional PBX systems operated.

Before cloud-based PBX systems existed, robust, expensive, and space-consuming systems had to exist on-site to provide the technology that allowed an automated phone network to exist. As our understanding of cloud-based technologies continues to accelerate, PBX systems were another facet of the professional environment that was able to be brought into a virtual setting, and managed remotely, without sacrificing the quality of the customer experience. 

5 Reasons Why Having a Hosted Cloud PBX System Matters

Whether you’re a company of 5, 50, or 500, having a cloud-hosted PBX system could be the difference-maker in becoming an organization that can streamline intake calls.

Advantage #1: Streamline Phone Calls Within Your Organization

To be fair, the result of a cloud-based PBX system vs. a transitional PBX system is relatively the same. At the end of the day your customers, clients, or vendors will get to the right department or person in a way that makes them feel good about their experience calling your company. However, a cloud-based model makes it much easier and more affordable for companies to have this type of service.
