Private Branch Exchange phone systems, or rather PBX phone systems, have been a staple in business operations for decades. However, while some companies have embraced the change to cloud VoIP solutions, others are more apprehensive concerning the cost of such an upgrade. For an SME of any standing, it’s a perfectly reasonable concern. Why, one may ask? Because such business phone systems cost money and are also essential communication tools.

All of these put added pressure on deciding which PBX system to install. Mostly due to the reason it can have a knock-on effect on internal operations and customer-facing channels. However, we can only deal with modern problems via modern solutions. It’s here that products like Nebry UC help you take productivity levels to the cloud while saving money.

The nature of traditional PBX phone systems

Traditional PBX systems tend to feature handheld phone sets connected via the public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines. Unfortunately, this type of fixed-capacity network translates into costs. Those costs quickly rise when you place many calls, and even more so when those calls are overseas.

This very physical nature also means that not only do these sets depreciate rapidly, but the connections also need to be built with the maximum demand immediately. This means that even if you only register high call volumes once a month, you’re paying the same price for that service throughout the year.

Add in the fact that hardware and software updates for such systems need to be made on-site, and the picture of a phone system that’s unable to keep up with the times is revealed. And that’s before we factor in the modern landscape of business communication of video conferencing, integrated chats, screen collaboration, and file sharing that’s come to the fore.

The future is calling

While there is, naturally, an initial outlay to replace your current PBX system, in the long run, there’s so much time and money to save by taking operations to the cloud business phone system or cloud VoIP phone, not to mention the removal of geographical restrictions. So, how and when exactly would you start saving?

Well, almost immediately. By paying for peak capacity only when needed, you’re saving the cost of paying premium prices when demand is low. Having a centralized platform for all communication needs reduces the number of devices for each communication medium. If you have a compliance requirement to record calls, business phone systems or cloud VoIP phone systems can instantly do that without requiring physical disk space to host such recordings.

Scaling up or down depending on business needs is a lot easier. On another note, inter-office calls are free since all users will be on the same comms platform. And if you choose to install a “new” traditional system, there’s new device training that’s probably required and on-site installation. With cloud VoIP solutions, users can access new features immediately, and they find them highly user-friendly and intuitive.

However, the actual cost you need to consider is what you are sacrificing by putting off the switch. Not only does leveling up to the cloud VoIP phone systems benefit you in the present, but it also stands your company in better stead for the future.

Making the right choice

The easy part is choosing to shift to a cloud VoIP system. What’s trickier is selecting the right provider of business phone systems. Here we’ll name a couple of reasons why opt for Nebry UC.
