A cloud PBX, also known as hosted PBX, offer many benefits over an on-premise system, like lower costs, more flexibility, and powerful analytics.<\/p>\n

Unlike an on-premise PBX system, a cloud PBX runs over an internet connection and is hosted in a secure off-site data centre.<\/p>\n

A cloud PBX offers the same functionality as a traditional PBX, like calling, voicemail, and call forwarding. These are, however, only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n

Unlike a traditional PBX, a cloud-based hosted PBX does not require expensive on-site equipment that is costly and requires constant maintenance.<\/p>\n

It offers great flexibility, making it possible to add or remove users on the fly and support multiple locations – a big benefit of remote working.<\/p>\n

Cloud PBX systems have excellent uptime to ensure business continuity. Another benefit is that all updates and maintenance are performed by your hosted PBX provider.<\/p>\n

It is very cost-effective. Apart from saving on hardware costs, VoIP calls are much cheaper than traditional fixed-line calls, and users typically enjoy free on-net calling.<\/p>\n

Cloud-based hosted PBX systems also offer powerful features, like mobile device support, voice call transcription, built-in video conferencing, call analytics, and strong security.<\/p>\n

With these benefits in mind, it is not surprising that many South African companies are ditching their traditional PBX system in preference of a hosted PBX.<\/p>\n

This trend accelerated during the lockdown with remote working requiring flexible solutions with good analytics to monitor the performance of employees.<\/p>\n

This raises the question of which South African companies have the best cloud PBX offerings.<\/p>\n
