GXC
VOIPCOM software can also be used as E-PBX / IPBX.
What is an E-PBX / IPBX? An
E-PBX / IPBX is a complete telephony system that provides telephone calls over
IP data networks. All conversations are sent as data packets over the network.
The technology includes advanced communication features but also provides a
significant dose of worry-free scalability and robustness that all enterprises
seek. The E-PBX is also able to connect to traditional PSTN lines via an optional
gateway - so upgrading day-to-day business communication to this most advanced
voice and data network is a breeze! Enterprises don’t need to disrupt their
current external communication infrastructure and operations. With E-PBX deployed,
an enterprise can even keep its regular telephone numbers. This way, the E-PBX
/ IPBX switches local calls over the data network inside the enterprise and
allows all users to share the same external phone lines.
How it works An E-PBX / IPBX or
IP Telephone System consists of one or more SIP phones, an E-PBX / IPBX server
and optionally a VOIP Gateway to connect to existing PSTN lines. The E-PBX /
IPBX server functions in a similar manner to a proxy server: SIP clients, being
either soft phones or hardware-based phones, register with the E-PBX / IPBX
server, and when they wish to make a call they ask the E-PBX / IPBX to establish
the connection. The E-PBX IPBX has a directory of all phones/users and their
corresponding SIP address and thus is able to connect an internal call or route
an external call via either a VOIP gateway or a VOIP service provider.
10 reasons to switch to an E-PBX / IPBX
Benefit #1: Much easier to install
& configure than a proprietary phone system: An E-PBX / IPBX runs as software
on a computer and can leverage the advanced processing power of the computer
and user interface as well as Windows’ features. Anyone proficient in networking
and computers can install and maintain an E-PBX / IPBX. By contrast a proprietary
phone system often requires an installer trained on that particular proprietary
system!
Benefit #2: Easier to manage because
of WEB / GUI based configuration interface: An E-PBX / IPBX can be managed via
a web-based configuration interface or a GUI, allowing you to easily maintain
and fine tune your phone system. Proprietary phone systems have difficult-to-use
interfaces which are often designed to be used only by the phone technicians.
Benefit #3: Significant cost savings using
VOIP providers: With an E-PBX / IPBX you can easily use a VOIP service
provider for long distance and international calls. The monthly savings are
significant. If you have branch offices, you can easily connect phone systems
between branches and make free phone calls.
Benefit #4: Eliminate phone wiring!
An IP Telephone system allows you to connect hardware phones directly to a standard
computer network port (which it can share with the adjacent computer). Software
phones can be installed directly onto the PC. You can now eliminate the phone
wiring and make adding or moving of extensions much easier. In new offices you
can completely eliminate the extra ports to be used by the office phone system!
Benefit #5: Eliminate vendor lock in!
E-PBXs / IPBXs are based on the open SIP standard. You can now mix and match
any SIP hardware or software phone with any SIP-based E-PBX, PSTN Gateway or
VOIP provider. In contrast, a proprietary phone system often requires proprietary
phones to use advanced features, and proprietary extension modules to add features.
Benefit #6: Scalable Proprietary
systems are easy to outgrow: Adding more phone lines or extensions often requires
expensive hardware modules. In some cases you need an entirely new phone system.
Not so with an E-PBX / IPBX: a standard computer can easily handle a large number
of phone lines and extensions – just add more phones to your network to expand!
Benefit #7: Better customer service & productivity:
With an E-PBX / IPBX you can deliver better customer service and better productivity:
Since the IP telephone system is now computer-based you can integrate phone
functions with business applications. For example: Bring up the customer record
of the caller automatically when you receive his/her call, dramatically improving
customer service and cutting cost by reducing time spent on each caller. Outbound
calls can be placed directly from Outlook, removing the need for the user to
type in the phone number.
Benefit #8: Twice the phone system features for
half the price! Since an IP PABX is software-based, it is easier
for developers to add and improve feature sets. Most VOIP phone systems come
with a rich feature set, including auto attendant, voice mail, ring groups,
advanced reporting and more. These options are often very expensive in proprietary
systems.
Benefit #9 Allow hot desking & roaming
Hot desking – the process of being able to easily move offices/desks
based on the task at hand, has becoy me very popular. Unfortunately traditional
PBXs require extensions to be re-patched to the new location. With an E-PBX
/ IPBX the user simply takes his phone to his new desk – No patching required!
Users can roam too – if an employee has to work from home, he/she can simply
fire up their SIP software phone and are able to answer calls to their extension,
just as they would in the office. Calls can be diverted anywhere in the world
because of the SIP protocol characteristics!
Benefit #10 Better phone usability: SIP phones
are easier to use Employees often struggle using advanced phone
features: Setting up a conference, transferring a call – On an old PBX it all
requires instruction. Not so with an E-PBX / IPBX – all features are easily
performed from a user friendly Windows GUI. In addition, users get a better
overview of the status of other extensions and of inbound lines and call queues
via the E-PBX / IPBX Windows client. Proprietary systems often require expensive
‘system’ phones to get an idea what is going on your phone system. Even then,
status information is cryptic at best.
Conclusion Investing in a software-based
E-PBX / IPBX makes a lot of sense, not only for new companies buying a phone
system, but also for companies who already have a PBX. An E-PBX delivers such
significant savings in managem+ent, maintenance, and ongoing call costs, that
upgrading to an E-PBX / IPBX, should be the obvious choice for any company.
