500 Hosted is our hosted IP PBX telephony product.
Hosted IP telephony is often suited for businesses that prefer to outsource telephony requirements, allowing a third party service provider to control and manage their phones and PBX.
As a general rule, modest sized businesses – or businesses that have many sites in many locations (including home working personnel) are more suited to hosted telephony.
The arguments for adopting a hosted IP telephony solution can be difficult to argue: from reduced telephony costs to professional PBX functionality that provide enterprise level features and benefits to less than enterprise sized businesses. However, this in turn has given rise to a plethora of hosted IP telephony providers and it can be extremely difficult to separate the good from the… not so good.
If it is such that hosted IP telephony is the right solution for your business, we recommend that more than just the per user per month fee is examined. Here at 500 you can be confident that:
- we have a track record and experience in hosted IP telephony
- hosted telephony is a core business rather than an add-on
- we ensure end-to-end call security / encryption
- our architecture is fully redundant
- call quality is business-grade
- we provide customer support provisioning
The key benefits of 500 Hosted are ease of use, powerful features and simplicity of management.
