A Private Branch Exchange or PBX is a private network used within an organization for

communication. Using a PBX, people within the company can communicate internally with
other members of the company and externally with the outside world. Communication is
enabled using different channels including ISDN, VoIP, and Analog.

It allows companies to create their in-house phone network that simplifies dialing and
calling within the company, allowing employees to re-route the call to various extensions as
required. Though PBX systems originally used to be hard-wired that ran on analog
technology, many companies have now switched to IP-PBX. The digital PBX makes use of
VoIP technology to send calls over the internet.

From large corporations to startups, many businesses are making use of the increasingly
popular PBX systems.

Following are some of the advantages that PBX systems have to offer for your business.

1. Reduced Cost
One of the major concern for companies while making a shift to new and more
advanced technology is the price. However, with a IP-PBX system, companies can
actually save money. It is a budget-friendly and cost-effective solution for your
business. Hosted PBX systems allow smaller businesses and startups to take
advantage of the technology, without actually needing to implement the technology
on-premise.

2. Increased Efficiency
With the implementation of PBX phone systems, employees within the organization
can communicate more effectively and work can be performed in a more coordinated
manner. Businesses gets the ability to record calls, track performance and generate
reports for future use.
3. Mobility
Since IP-PBX phone systems make use of the internet to place and receive calls
locally and internationally, employees can work from anywhere and be available to
take the call even when they are away from their desk. Due to this mobility factor,
employees can work more productively and effectively. There is never a missed call
anymore.
4. Scalability
Your company might not be as big today, but it can be tomorrow. And as a business
gets bigger, there is a need to have more phone lines for better communication. With
traditional phone systems, this can be a hassle and costly procedure. However, this is
not the case with IP-PBXs. You can have as many phone lines as required, and you
can add and remove lines as per your business requirements.
IP-PBX phone systems are the future for communication, as more and more
businesses are making the shift continuously. If you want to increase the productivity
of your business and employees, making the switch to IP-PBXs is the way to go.
