Without a doubt cloud PBX systems have is not the number 1 option of many businesses around the world rather than traditional phone systems. The technology is well known for its incredible call handling and call management features the technology is also well known for its convenience and easy set up making it fast to deploy without going through the hassle and stress that normal phone system puts you through.

First of all there is no expensive hardware needed to deploy a cloud PBX system unlike traditional phones that needs bulky and expensive equipments to start with. A cloud PBX will only need basic office equipment like a network router, an internet connection and that is about it.

Most of the set up happens in a remote server level meaning there is no need for a network engineer to come down your office and set the phones, the features, phone numbers, the trunk line and every component that is necessary is done by a cloud PBX network engineer remotely so you don’t need to worry about anything.

You also don’t need to be a professional or you do not need to hire a professional to configure the phones on your office, if you are able to plug a laptop to a wired internet connection then you can set the IP phones yourself in your office. All you need to do is plug in the Ethernet cable from the network router to your IP phone grab the power pack adapter included in the package and that’s about it the phones will work brilliantly as if a telecommunications engineer did the job.

As far as installation and set up is involved in normally takes about 5 to 10 business days before your phone system is completely up and running compared to traditional phones that can take about a month before they set your phone up.

Probably the only cause of delay could be the porting process or the process of moving your current phone number from your existing carrier to your VoIP service provider, depending on the features incorporated on that number like ADSL, fax duet, line hunt and such this may take to an extended 20 business days. However this doesn’t mean that your business needs to suffer and be phone less, a VoIP service provider can assign you a pseudo number or a number exchange meaning phone calls from your current number will be automatically diverted to another number and directed to your PBX so you can still benefit from the system even if you are in the process of porting.
