Many companies are left stranded wanting to rid themselves of the antiquated Nortel system but are unsure of what new path they should take. Consulting with a business VoIP solution provider can be tremendously helpful when transitioning to a new system. Seek a provider that is trusted, well established and who shares your outlook on telephony. One of best options when switching over from Nortel is Cloud PBX. PBX stands for public branch exchange which is a technology used to route phone calls. This technology used to be more cumbersome as it was originally a large hardware unit that had to be managed manually and repaired often. Cloud PBX is an internet-based solution that makes this process more streamlined and does not necessitate the use of large machines. With the Cloud PBX system, you place a call through your internet phone or computer, the call is connected to your service provider via the cloud, and the call arrives at its destination. This system offers a host of benefits that its predecessor did not. Once the switch is made, efficiency is certain to spike. So, if you are still holding onto a Nortel system in your workplace, now is the time to make a change. Other Related Topics: Nortel is No Longer Supported Cloud PBX Secure E-Fax Managed Telephony
