Introduction

The traditional PBX phone system requires that companies purchase a great deal of expensive equipment, regardless of what the specific business needs of that company may be.  Because of this, the regular PBX system is cost-prohibitive for most small and mid-sized businesses.  Many businesses have switched to VoIP for its advanced digital technology which includes many more standard and advanced features, at cost savings of up to 90% over traditional phone plan. 
The Complete Digital Phone System - One Number Does it All.
The complete digital phone system coordinates phone and Internet traffic over a single network, with advanced PBX features provided through its VoIP digital technology.  One company can provides a business with all of the communications services necessary for a phone system on a daily basis. Since all of the services are provided by one platform, the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors is also eliminated.    

For example, instead of having to deal with separate vendors for the telephone line and messaging, local, long distance, PBX features, PBX server, and conferencing solutions, complete digital phone systems provide one reliable and advanced platform solution for all of those services in one place.  

Because the digital phone systems do not require outside installation services and hardware, equipment obsolescence, maintenance, and upgrade problems are a thing of the past.  In addition, since there is only one bill for all phone services, accounting is much more efficient.    

With Hosted PBX, the set up is much simpler, similar to the ease of a simple plug and play configuration and a broadband Internet connection, all at much more minimal cost.  A regular PBX system requires an appointment with a technician to come to the location, set up the service, and ensure that it is installed properly.  These kinds of labor and hardware costs, as well as upgrades for the regular PBX, are far too costly for most small businesses to even consider.  Larger businesses can benefit from the complete digital phone system for the same reason that small businesses can, with the ability to manage business clients from any place in the world, to ensure that valuable sales opportunities are not lost, and relationships with clients are always maintained.     

There really isn't a business of any size, that isn't interested in more cost effective operations - especially when the services are actually better overall. When the cost of maintaining a regular PBX phone system is factored in, there is no comparison to a digital phone system. A regular phone system that fail's, will be down much longer than a complete digital phone system, often a technician has to repair any outage with a regular phone system, whereas with the digital solution, technical support is handled off-site and much more efficiently.  The continual monitoring of the complete digital phone solution also employs a backup system with several layers of redundancy, transmitted through high level security data centers, for the most secure and reliable phone system offered today.  Traditional phone systems are not in a position to offer anywhere near that level of technical security or service.  
  

The Hosted PBX phone service provides small and growing businesses, as well as large companies and corporations, with a complete, professional, fully-automated and maintainable cost effective call answering management and routing system. 

A Complete Digital Phone Service Enhances Business Image. 

There is only one chance to make a great first impression.  No where is this more true, than in business.  The very first impression a company makes, can often determine its future success.  Customers often decide whether or not to do business with a company based upon their initial experience on the telephone.  Therefore, the phone service is the introduction to the products or services that companies have to offer. Today's business market demands professionalism, especially when it comes to customer service. Since most business today is conducted over the telephone, no company, no matter what its size, can really afford to have anything less than the very best phone system that its budget can easily accommodate.  The digital solution provides everything that a company needs to always make the best impression, from start to finish, with increased accessibility and ease of use, at affordable rates.

A Complete Digital Phone Service Enhances Business Image. 

One of the greatest benefits of a VoIP enabled complete digital phone service, is the ability to connect, route, and manage business calls, regardless of time or location. This makes the service the ideal choice to ensure a professional image, so that no business calls are ever missed, and that staff is always readily accessible.  
 

All types of business establishments, regardless of size, may benefit from the complete digital phone system, with a variety of phone options that can be instrumental in maintaining an organized communication system within any size business environment. Standard Complete Digital Phone Systems Include the Following Features Not Offered by Regular Phone Plans:

• Onsite equipment is not necessary, nor is costly maintenance, upgrade, labor charges, or employee liaison time
• Call attending, routing, and multiple extensions create virtual departments or branch offices for better business image

The cost savings, privacy, convenience and unmatched mobility, offers better overall productivity with a digital solution. The technology of the complete digital phone system handles business communication functions so that more time is available to accomplish the core product and service structure by employees, while reducing overhead costs. 

Conduct Business from Any Where, Any Time.

Mobility is key for successful businesses of all kinds and sizes.  Unlike traditional phone lines and PBX systems, the digital phone system is a completely portable solution.  Traditional PBX phone lines are only accessible where they are located, which poses a great limitation on mobility. This will also most likely affect how reliable a company may appear to its customers. 
 

The complete digital phone system can be used anywhere that the user may happen to be.  For example, while home offices can be located in a specific place, virtual offices may be accessed in other cities and states, so that when traveling, phone calls can be both placed and received, from any remote location in the world.  This aspect makes this system far more effective than any traditional phone line or regular PBX phone service. 
 

Clients need to contact business professionals multiple times and at various stages of the business process.  With the complete digital phone system, business associates are never tied to one place.  The same phone and number can be used from the desk in an office, as an extension for the home office, and at business meetings held anywhere in the world, such as hotels or other public venues.  
 

Businesses on the move never have to worry about costs associated with relocating a regular phone service.  Any size business can move as many phone lines as it has, all at once. The plug and play configuration aspects make it an ideal phone system for any telecommuting situation.  Nextiva is the complete digital phone service that keeps pace with today's mobile business professional. 
 

The Complete Digital Phone System is More Cost Effective.

Since all of the phone functions necessary are provided with hosted VoIP technology, the services cost a fraction of what either a standard phone line or PBX system can cost.  In fact, even though many businesses today need it to maintain and grow, most cannot justify the expense of having to pay the personnel associated with having a legacy type PBX service always available. 
 

To set up and use a complete digital phone system, there is no requirement to invest in costly hardware installation by outside technicians, or maintain it with what can often become exorbitant maintenance, repair and upgrade related expenditures. 
 

For example, an average traditional PBX phone system, excluding maintenance, can cost thousands of dollars per month, excluding the extra customary fees and taxes.  In contrast, a complete digital phone system, including more advanced features, can cost a mere $99 per month.  The difference between a singular basic regular phone line and a digital solution can compute to a savings of around 70%.     

With a complete digital phone system, there is no such thing as a toll or long distance call.  All phone calls are treated in the same way, and included in the plan at no extra charge - no matter where they initiate or originate from, or the time of day or night.
