Any change in hardware, software, or service is a big shift in the business world. There are numerous factors to consider, including initial costs, long-term costs, employee impact, and so on. When it comes to switching to SIP or updating a PBX, it appears that you have a lot of options, including using your existing PBX, purchasing a new PBX, and choosing between hosted and on-premise. It can be perplexing. We’ve spoken about SIP and PBXs a lot on the blog in the previous several months, so we’re going to provide a fast recap of the questions to ask.
We’ll use a 3CX phone system as our working example for this topic. Why? Because a 3CX phone system can be used in nearly all of the scenarios listed above.
It’s All About the Tens of Thousands of Dollars.
We won’t mince words: many judgments are made on the basis of cost. We are aware of the situation. Businesses that do not pay attention to the bottom line are less likely to survive. It’s easy to get sucked into the glitz and glam of an unlimited SIP plan, which includes extra services and minutes you may never use. That’s why the BITS Secure IT Infrastructure Plus 1 (metered) PBX plan was designed. It’s simple: one dollar per line, one dollar per number, and one cent every minute. You just pay for what you use with the Plus 1 PBX subscription. Our blog post demonstrates how the plan may save you money when compared to an unlimited plan. When combined with a 3CX phone system, you have a lot of potentials to save money while improving quality.
Is It Possible to Be in The Cloud? On-Premise?
Do your IT staff members want to keep their systems close to hand or do they prefer to have their heads in the clouds? Should you go with a hosted or on-premise 3CX phone system? Your phone system will be more controlled with an on-premise PBX. Moving to the cloud, on the other hand, increases scalability and converts your PBX into a managed service. That might make a major impact on a small firm without a large IT department. So, which is the best option? Neither, as it turns out. In this situation, you select the appropriate tool. Whatever you pick, your PBX is only as good as the SIP service it connects to. You will have issues regardless of how costly your gear is if your service is poor.
What Are Your Options for PBX Integration?
So, what’s the bottom line when it comes to SIP connection with your PBX? It all boils down to cost per unit of time and return on investment. We compared the costs of buying an off-the-shelf PBX and using an open standards PBX like a 3CX phone system with the BITS Secure IT Infrastructure Plus 1 PBX Plan vs using an open standards PBX like a 3CX phone system with the BITS Secure IT Infrastructure Plus 1 PBX Plan. Finally, 3CX powered by BITS Secure IT Infrastructure can save you a lot of money. You may even connect your 3CX to other services like Microsoft Teams.
Why Should You Choose A 3CX Phone System?
You may operate 3CX on your own hardware, or we can host it for you. You can update your current PBX or buy a new one and add 3CX. The 3CX software is open-source, works with a wide range of IP phones, and is simple to set up and maintain. BITS Secure IT’s powered 3CX phone system is a full telecom solution that eliminates the costs and administrative problems of an “old style” phone system as well as the constraints of a shared cloud PBX.
Have we spoken about the PBX features yet? The functions of a 3CX phone system are extensive. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Mobile provisioning that is so simple that users can do it with minimal effort themselves
- Powerful web conferencing that is simple to use and does not require any software.
- Our Dynamic Caller ID interfaces seamlessly with a 3CX phone system, offering call centers even more local control.
