PowerNet Global has announced the nationwide rollout of its Hosted IP PBX system, available via the company’s partner network.
“For years, companies have invested in premised-based PBX systems with hardware and software housed at their own locations,” said Allison Stevens, CEO of PowerNet Global. “With a Hosted IP PBX system, companies can experience those same benefits and leave the technology maintenance to us.”
Premise-based systems require companies to invest in on-site hardware to manage routing. These servers can become outdated over time or require upgrades when additional users are added to the system. IP PBX service deliver communications via the cloud, eliminating those infrastructure investments. Multi-site businesses also can use IP PBXs to connect their multiple offices together, offering a single communication solution across locations with four-digit dialing and so on.
“With PowerNet Global’s hosted IP PBX, companies have more flexibility and lower upfront investment,” Stevens said. “PowerNet Global hosts the system’s centralized tasks and manages the hardware, leaving the leased telephone handsets to be the only investment for the customer.”
The system is paired with PowerNet Global’s telephone service, giving the customer the choice between metered or unlimited long distance plans. It also offers software packages that can be used to manage and direct calls, establish conference calls, connect to cell phones through a mobile app and manage multiple sites.
“It’s a simple solution that is more scalable and flexible for our customers,” said John Putnam, vice president of sales at PowerNet Global. “We are excited to help a company evolve their telecommunications system as they grow and their needs change. Our hosted IP PBX Solutions will help our customers increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction and improve their overall corporate image.”
For support, PNG has a U.S.-based network operations center (NOC).
“We’re excited to be able to make this technology more accessible. With a smaller investment in hardware, and the flexibility to upgrade, scale, and choose features, hosted IP PBX delivers a lower total cost of ownership,” Putnam said. “That frees up a company’s resources to focus on core business and leave the phones to us.”
