What is a cloud PBX?
Cloud PBX (Cloud-based Private Branch Exchange) is a virtual PBX system rooted on the internet, which automatically answers all calls and routes them to the right department or user extension. Traditionally, PBX systems are housed on-premises. These machines are big and need their own storage room. They also require significant capital investment, making them out of reach for smaller businesses.
The cloud changed all that. Cloud PBX is hosted in secure, remote data centers and is delivered through the internet. It provides the same call routing and management features of an on-premises PBX without the need for expensive hardware. The cloud PBX solution is also offered as a service on flexible plans, so smaller businesses can subscribe to it instead of investing heavily on an expensive on-premises system.

- More to be paid for complex implementations

Switching from legacy solutions to a cloud PBX phone system
Cloud Private Branch Exchange is the cost-effective replacement for your old business phone system, letting you communicate seamlessly across all your office locations using multiple devices.
If you’re tired of settling for expensive legacy phone solutions that consume much of your IT resources, then perhaps it’s time to move your communications to the cloud. The service is delivered over the internet so it’s much more flexible, efficient, and inexpensive.
Virtual PBX benefits start with cost savings
Businesses of all sizes can now experience using an advanced internet-powered communications system through a simple subscription. Compared to the traditional PBX, a cloud PBX phone system is much less costly, thanks to its use of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, technology. Because VoIP calls are transmitted over the internet, businesses can bypass international calling fees imposed by carriers to significantly cut back on operational costs.
What else can you expect from reputable hosted PBX providers?
Making the switch to the cloud also allows for seamless communication across different times and locations, regardless of device used. For starters, you can get a centralized business number for all your office locations and just apply extensions to different departments as you deem fit.
Calls are handled by a highly customizable automated attendant that can instantly forward incoming calls to the intended party. When configured to do so, you can also use advanced call forwarding features to route calls direct to voicemail or through your mobile device, making sure that your employees receive important messages even during the holidays or while they’re traveling.
Moreover, customers don’t have to memorize multiple phone numbers or extensions. You don’t have to give out your personal mobile number just to be accessible when you’re out of the office.
Subscribing to a cloud PBX service simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting processes. With the traditional phone service, you need to have a dedicated staff to handle infrastructure and hardware, whereas, with the cloud, the upkeep is managed by the provider in an offsite location with the promise of better security and uptime. Your communications system doesn’t have to be taken offline for repairs or updates, plus you get to resolve technical issues or glitches by just alerting your provider who would usually offer 24/7 technical assistance or customer care services.
Lastly, cloud PBX is highly scalable. You can grow your cloud PBX phone system as your business expands. You only need to contact your provider when you need additional phone lines in your subscription. Adding and removing extensions can also be done via your online dashboard. Every setting can be adjusted to accommodate the changing needs of your business.

Why RingCentral beats all other hosted PBX providers
There are numerous options when it comes to cloud-based Private Branch Exchange providers, but RingCentral leads the pack by offering a complete unified communications solution – to which Gartner agrees. The IT research and advisory firm recently named the company as a leader for its ability to execute and completeness of vision.
The ever-changing business landscape has turned cloud-based services into necessary power tools. Internet-based phone systems, in particular, have been pushed to the forefront of business communication for many organizations. Legacy phone solutions that have been in use in offices for decades completely lack the flexibility, mobility, and cost-efficiency that cloud phone systems offer.
Truly, the future of telephony lies in the cloud and RingCentral stands above other hosted PBX providers.
