What You Need to Know About Your Phone System in The Cloud: Hosted/Virtual PBX

cloudpbxNWMAP Featured service: Hosted/Cloud/Virtual PBX

If you don’t already know, or haven’t already switched, your business can likely benefit from a Hosted PBX right now! We help clients everyday learn about technology that will help them grow, cut costs, be more productive between employees and business operations. Hosted services such as Hosted PBX are no exception. You can get an amazing business phone system that meets and exceeds what you would expect from a traditional phone set-up. Since it’s all virtual, all you need are phones and an Internet connection.

What exactly is Hosted PBX?  “Hosted” simply refers to your business phone system being operated by your chosen provider. You don’t have any of the equipment (or worries) and maintenance or updates of software, etc.

Who can benefit? We’ve seen great benefits of this technology within small and medium-sized businesses. Can you imagine what level it takes them to when they have a superior telephone system without the costs of operating it on-site? Businesses can choose the number of lines, extensions, fax, and email preferences while the Voice-over-IP (VoIP) service provider manages the rest.

What else?

  • Saves money and time! We’ve saved our business clients up to 50% or more on bills, maintenance, and other telephone system related costs they had before.
  • Businesses who have multi-site locations or work-from-home employees are also benefitted by Hosted services.
  • With the ability to choose, this technology can grow with your business.
  • You (your business) only needs phone (s) and Internet connection.
  • All employees will be connected through email, fax, phone, etc.
  •  All the technology and abilities of an expensive phone system is all done virtually for you. Automated Attendant? Done. transfer calls? Of course…and much more.

NWMAP 40+ carriers. We can help find you the right provider for the best costs with little effort or disruption to your business. Contact us (free quotes and current phone bill/costs review) https://nwmap.com/contact-us

Selecting The Best MPLS Service

Selecting the optimal MPLS service starts with a clear knowledge of your business requirements, what size company you have, and your network design. Many sources will unanimously state that it’s best to utilize an Agent service to assist you because they have access to the “best-of-breed” in the industry. “If this is the first time you’re selecting MPLS-based services, get external help from an experienced consultant”,  Ivan Pepelnjak, who has worked in the industry for 25 years. Agent services aren’t tied down to using just one carrier’s products. Many Telecom Agent services or managed service providors have your best interest in mind, whereas dealing directly with carriers, they may suggest you only utilize their services, products, and sales agents who typically don’t have the experience a Telecom Agent does. 

Further suggestions, “Quite often you’ll be forced to combine multiple services in your network: MPLS VPN for smaller sites, VPLS for sites with high-availability requirements (to better control convergence speed and routing protocol behavior) and pseudowires for point-to-point links between your data centers.” NWMAP offers MPLS services from reputable carriers; Paetec, Integra Telecom, and Airespring.
