Easier to Manage and Configure

For proprietary conventional PBX you have to call vendor company. They send an engineer and add/modify features in PBX. In IP PBX now you can do it yourself or any IT person can do it for you. You are not locked with certain vendor. So your are not locked in paying more to certain vendor.

Cost Saving on outgoing calls

IP PBX uses variety of trunks (not just PTCL). For international calls your can use VoIP Trunk and for making mobile calls IP PBX intelligently uses GSM trunks (SIM cards in PBX). LCR (Least Cost routing) can be implemented.

Eliminate separate Phone wiring

Conventional PBX uses separate wiring, be it single pair or 4 pairs. It is misconception that IP PBX uses LAN RJ45 separately for each IP Phone end-point. Fact is IP PBX uses existing wiring of computer network because IP Phone acts as bridge mode between PC to LAN switch.

Scalable- Never throw IP PBX

It is common in businesses to throw conventional PBX as organization expands. In IP PBX case it just a matter of adding more LAN points. On trunk side PCI cards or trunking Gateways can be added seamlessly. No liciencing limitations either.

Productivity – Never miss a call

New trend your Andriod or IP Phone smartphone can become your office extension too over WIFI. When it is unavailable you have voicemail to email option or "follow me" feature.
