Call routing is among the fundamental functions of a small business phone system. The ability to easily forward calls to the appropriate person is a great advantage, and having an organized and systematic communications system can make or break customer relations.
With a traditional PBX phone system, the seemingly basic task of call routing can be problematic. For instance, when your staff needs to switch desks, they should manually transfer the phone jack so that they can keep the same phone extension. Alternatively, you can rewire your PBX hardware and reboot. It gets more complicated if you want all your calls forwarded to your cell phone when you’re not in the office.
