Hybrid PBX
Hybrid PBX
What is a Hybrid PBX Phone System?
A hybrid PBX phone system makes use of cloud PBX systems as the primary business phone system, backed up with on-premise PBX systems as a secondary business phone system. In the event that a cloud PBX system fails, your business phone system will automatically switch over to the on-premise PBX system. Hybrid PBX systems ensure your business stays online, giving you maximum service uptime.
What is an On-Premise PBX Phone System?
On-premise PBX phone systems use traditional landlines to route calls. All phone system hardware, server equipment, and networking devices are deployed onsite. However, on-premise PBX does not promise full control as technicians will need to assist with any and all changes.
On-premise PBX functions well as a secondary back-up system, but is not recommended to be used as your only phone system. Combining cloud PBX and on-premise PBX ensures maximum uptime and full control.
Hybrid PBX Features and Functionality
Our VoIP PBX systems come equipped with built-in functionality including:
API Integration
This allows you to connect your IP-PBX phone system with third-party web applications and software, for example linking your call centre to a separate CRM system.
Call Routing
This allows you to determine where calls should be directed and to set specific rules for each extension. Automatic call routing can redirect calls to the right people if the initial recipient is unavailable.
On Hold Music
Play music or marketing messages to callers that are put on hold to reduce the chances of them dropping the call.
Call Transferring
Assign incoming and outgoing calls internally within your business phone system or externally to third parties. The system allows for attended transfers to consult with the third party before transferring a call.
Automatic Call Recording
Records and stores all calls made on your business phone system. Offers the ability to playback call recordings for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
Mobile Extension
Allows you to use your mobile phone as a PBX extension. This gives employees remote access to an organisation’s IP-PBX phone system via an internet connection.
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) / Auto Attendant
An automated answering service that routes incoming calls to the right extension based on caller keypad input.
Queue
Allows inbound calls to a particular department to be queued up while waiting for an available extension to take their call.
