The introduction of the virtual phone system has resulted in a massive leap forward for business communications. For many years, the hardware telephony system, primarily the on-premise Private Branch Exchange (PBX), was the gold standard for handling phone calls. These systems, while effective in the past, come with the disadvantages of significant hardware costs, complex setups, limited capabilities, and burdensome maintenance requirements. The combination of VoIP and the virtual phone system has taken business communications by storm, and the relevance and practicality of traditional PBX hardware has come under intense scrutiny. This inflexible system is reliant on unwieldy physical infrastructure and is rapidly being replaced by agile, cloud-based solutions that offer cost savings, flexibility, scalability and increased productivity. In this article, we will explore the major advantages of virtual phone systems over legacy platforms. This comparison will clearly illustrate why so many businesses are ditching their hardware, moving to cloud…
