What are the benefits of a hosted PBX system for your law firm?

There are two kinds of PBX system: hosted PBX and self-hosted. The difference between them is that, with hosted PBX, all the hard work is taken care of. This results in the following benefits for your law firm:

It’s cost-efficient

Hosted PBX is inarguably a cost-effective communications solution. An external organisation will organise the installation, updates, training and everything else and will charge you a monthly fee to use the system. This means that you avoid the cost of installing and maintaining equipment yourself. They’re also scalable at a much lower cost, since add-ons can be integrated easily when using a cloud-based phone system.

It’s convenient

One of the most appealing reasons to use a hosted PBX system for your law firm is that it is convenient. In fast-paced sector such as law, where time sensitivity is often key, a convenient communications system can make all the difference. With hosted PBX, you avoid the installation and maintenance hassle of other phone systems. PBX phone systems are cloud-based, so your phone system will be accessible from anywhere. This is a huge benefit for an increasingly mobile workforce; this is particularly true in the legal sector where client visits, off-site meetings and courtroom time is necessary.
