Definition of Cloud PBX
A cloud PBX is s business phone system hosted entirely on the server’s off-site data centers and powered by the internet. It provides all the features of a traditional desk phone at a much lower cost and additional functionalities.
- It uses the internet connection to connect and receive calls.
- It supports all physical networks similar to a computer.
- A cloud-based phone system is less expensive and scalable to meet growing business demands.
- No hardware or technicians needed to manage a cloud PBX system.
Cloud PBX is the rising star of business telephony. It offers the same reliability and functionality as that of a legacy telephone system. Besides, the cloud-based technology provides many advanced features not available or accessible in traditional telephone systems.
Cloud PBX in Microsoft Teams
Many organizations chose Microsoft Teams as their preferred collaboration and communication tool during the Pandemic. The Microsoft Phone System is offering such organizations a consistent calling experience by allowing employees to make calls while working remotely from anywhere to everywhere.
Microsoft Teams offers a cloud-based Private Branch Exchange (PBX) to the organization empowering employees to communicate internally using the existing phone network. By connecting PBX to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), employees are enabled to make external PSTN calling.
As Microsoft Teams offers a PBX system hosted in the cloud, there is no need to install and manage expensive hardware on-premise. Besides, direct integration of Microsoft Teams with Microsoft 365 or Office 365, allows employees to make calls directly from teams, desktop phones, mobile devices, or a PC.
Organizations interested to use Microsoft Teams cloud PBX system for business telephony must possess an active Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription. Adding Calling Plans or Direct Routing method to this subscription enables the use of Microsoft Phone Systems. Additionally, if required advanced licenses for audio PSTN conferencing, toll-free numbers, and advanced calling features can also be added to the same subscription.
Enhance Enterprise Telephony with Cloud PBX
Although Microsoft made some significant feature improvements in Teams, it has smartly partnered with many solution providers to expand Teams calling capability and service offerings.
A simple Microsoft Teams license plays a pivotal part in connecting your teammates through the Teams interface. In addition to that, the telephony functionality in Office 365 will allow you to access the immense benefits of cloud-based PBX or virtual phone systems to connect VoIP calls with existing PSTN.
During COVID-19 Pandemic many employees are working from home and are unable to access their desk phones. By linking your PBX systems with Microsoft Teams, your employees can make VoIP phone calls and connect with the PSTN infrastructure remotely using the device of their choice.
By enabling unified communication with Microsoft Teams, you do have the option to use your existing phones saving additional investments. However, if you have SIP phones, then you need to accommodate these phones with proper Microsoft Teams Phone integration. You can either add Teams-Certified hardware (phones, headsets, etc.). Else you can seek assistance from EPC Group to use existing hardware.
