Have you ever wondered how huge businesses manage to deal with so many calls? From internal communications between employees, to collaboration with remote branches, to incoming calls from clients or customers, the backbone of a business phone system is their PBX, or "Private Branch Exchange." From the rudimentary days of the old switchboard systems, to the modern computer controlled business phone systems of today - it's more than just a means of communication - the PBX is how your business stays relevant in a fast paced business world. Let's have a look at what it takes to bring this technology into your company, or upgrade its existing system.

The first step you'll need to take is to enumerate the phone system needs of your business. With the huge array of options out there, a good choice here can help avoid upgrades later, after your system is entrenched in your business. The market changes fast, you want a PBX that can expand and grow with your needs.

Hiring an operator or receptionist is often times unnecessary, or just unfeasible if you have too many incoming calls. You'll be glad to know that most of the same features can be overseen by many of the business phone systems these days, both cheaper, and better than a human. At the most basic level, these "Auto Attendant" features includes options such as allowing your users to navigate a (potentially huge) menu system, reach specific extensions or access information recordings. Maybe someday we'll even have a PBX that will brew a pot of coffee...

More interesting are auto-dial capabilities, which can be used to provide a wide array of useful functions. At the most basic level, many of us associate PBX auto-dialing with robo-calls, or telemarketing. However, the systems can do much more than that, with tasks like sending text messages to cell phones automated for informative personal, departmental, or company-wide alerts and notices. Recordings or messages can be delivered as well, and many packages even provide text to speech for reading messages to the recipient, such as crucial e-mails.

Cisco Systems have the reputation for being one of the leaders in networking for years now. Having been known as one of the "four horsemen of the internet," for their powerful and stable routing devices, the same attention to detail is apparent in their PBX systems.

Their "Unity" line of products are a popular choice, for delivering expandability and flexibility at many business sizes, and for meeting a wide variety of needs. Another popular choice are their SPA-400 and SPA-9000 which can work in conjunction to provide a wide range of features on a small business budget.

No one can say for certain how their business will grow over the coming years. However, communications will forever be the core of any successful business. The PBX forms the nervous system of your company, extending into each nook and cranny, delivering vital messages. Without choosing a powerful and business phone system though, that nervous system is left lacking, and your business crippled. Whatever your choice, the benefits brought by some of these new features will undoubtedly bring a serious boost to your productivity and capabilities.
