IP PBX Benefits

  

The benefits of an IP PBX to any enterprise are similar to and different from the benefits of a VoIP system in general. Downsizing to one network of communication instead of two creates clear cost savings and a reduction in basic infrastructure wiring. Furthermore, there are significant savings from the lower basic cost of completing external calls. But IP PBX goes even further, bringing greater benefits to enterprises with increased manageability, upgradeability, and enhanced feature sets.

 

The specific benefits of an IP PBX over traditional phone systems or PBXs include the following:

 

 

         Traditional Telephone

         VOIP

Conference Calls

  • Special equipment is required for more than three people.

  • Easily conference large numbers.

Mobility

  • Very difficult to set remote users up in systems if they are local.

  • Easily add remote users of any kind.

Phones

  • Can only provide traditional phone services, albeit complex ones.

  • Can be programmed to provide internal and external apps of all kinds.

Efficiency

  • Dedicated voice lines provide known quality levels but no flexibility.

  • More efficient use of network.
