A Hosted PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a telephony solution delivered as a hosted service where the PBX infrastructure is hosted in the service provider’s Cloud/network..

Save on initial and ongoing costs; eliminate office boundaries as employees can work from anywhere. By using a hosted PBX, small businesses can give the impression of being a large organisation with a professional phone system. It’s perfect for multiple sites where centralised and seamless operations are required and hosted PBXs are scalable, allowing your company to add lines or extensions without the worry that you’ll outgrow your PBX.

If the switch does not have POE, then power can be provided via an external AC power supply, which powers each phone independently. This scenario, however, is not ideal for larger deployments.

A cloud contact centre is hosted on an Internet server, from which all inbound and outbound customer communications are handled. Cloud contact centres enable inbound, outbound or hybrid contact centres to operate across multiple channels (including phone calls and messaging), call routing, agent management and analytics from virtually anywhere.

An Omni-Channel contact centre is responsible for creating seamless customer engagement; i.e. by connecting the ‘dots’ between the different channels of communication a customer uses.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a technology that allows a computer to interact with humans through the use of voice and DTMF tones input, via keypad.

In cloud computing, software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a multi-tenant architecture where a single physical software installation – that is usually managed by a service provider – is used to serve multiple independent contact centres/tenants.
