_____

1.Lower CapEx costs

Buying a traditional phone system ties up a significant portion of an end user’s budget from day one. In addition, the purchase will mean that you own a piece of equipment that you’ll have to replace one day. And that system will have to include some ‘headroom’ to allow for any new employees you may be planning to take on in the next few years so you’ll be paying for a system that won’t be 100% utilised from day one. You could put that money to better use by subscribing to a Hosted IP PBX Business Communications service that you can pay for on a monthly basis, improving your cash flow from day one instead?

2.No need to worry about depreciation

Like any major purchase, a telephone system that sits on your premises will depreciate in value over time. With a hosted communications service, you won’t have to worry about depreciation because you won’t have purchased an expensive telephone system using your operational expenses budget.

3.No need for a crystal ball

A Hosted service gives you day to day control over the sizing of your business communications system. You don’t need to forecast how many employees your business will have in 3 or 4 years and you don’t need to forecast where those employees will be based. You can buy a service for the exact number of employees in your organisation today, you can add users to your service only when you need to, and, you’ll have complete flexibility over where your employees work.

_____

4.Easier to implement and maintain

The engine that powers an end user’s Hosted Business Communications Service is located in the service provider’s network. You don’t have to worry about its installation or maintenance - that’s the responsibility of the service provider. By subscribing to a Hosted Service, you minimise the equipment that has to be implemented and maintained at your premises and you will therefore benefit from less disruption caused by problems with equipment.

_____

5.Easier to adjust to your changing requirements

With a Hosted Service, activities such as Moves, Adds and Changes no longer need an on-site visit from an engineer or technician. Hosted communications systems are designed to be remotely configured by the service provider and, depending on the capabilities of the solution, you may even be able to make your own changes via a web browser, without needing engineering or technical expertise. End user expenses can therefore be reduced by eliminating costly monthly maintenance contracts or the high labour cost typically required to have a ‘techie’ or engineer onsite for every change you require.

_____

6. Extended features for improved productivity

A Hosted Communications System will provide you with advanced calling features that are not typically included in traditional telephony systems. Features that can improve employee productivity such as Outlook integration, easy call diversion, ‘pop up’ of contact details on incoming calls, ‘Click to Call’, and quick set up of personal speed dials can all be accessed via a Hosted solution.

_____

7. An easier way to build security into your business

With a network many times larger than your own, you can be sure that your Keynote has invested in security such as firewalls and physical security. The hosted service will be secure because it’s in the service provider’s best interests. You don’t have to worry about finding the best solution and implementing it, you can let your service provider take that worry on for them. And, when it’s time to upgrade security systems and apply patches, your service provider will take the time to do that, saving the end user the time and effort.

_____

8. Disaster recovery and emergency Protection

A hosted communications system will benefit from the same level of protection as an end user’s hosted website or email - your communications infrastructure will reside in a secure, off-site location, protected from any major or minor disasters that may affect your business locations. The hosting service provider can provide the end user with the level of protection and redundancy that the end user feels is necessary for your business. And the Service Provider is responsible for making sure that your protection and redundancy systems and processes are fully operational at all times so that’s one less thing for you to worry about.

_____

9. A hosted business communications service eliminates technology obsolescence

With a Hosted Service, you don’t have to purchase a phone system, so you don’t have to worry about the equipment becoming obsolete. Your service provider will be responsible for making sure that his equipment is up to date because, in a competitive world where the end user can easily switch providers, your service provider will want to ensure that he runs the latest technology so that he can provide you with updates and new features to ensure your loyalty.

_____

10. A hosted IP-PBX is built on non-proprietary components

If you buy a traditional PBX phone system, you run the risk of locking your company into a proprietary architecture. In other words, you are building your company’s future on a system that may or may not remain compatible with ever evolving industry standards. Many companies who have bought a traditional phone system are now at the mercy of the manufacturer for repair and expansion since only your parts will work with your purchase. You will want to make sure that your Hosted IP-PBX system works with multiple phone manufacturers so if you decide to move to a different system, a forklift upgrade won’t be necessary.
