What is the Role of PBX Software in the IT Industry?
In
order to understand how IP PBX software works for the IT industry one
must understand how the industry itself works.
A
typical IT Industry Scenario
The
buzzwords in IT are offshore and outsource. You will find an IT
company has its headquarters in one location. Its working division
may be in another country. That division may employ third party
services and employees located in other countries. They may be
assigned one project in parts and need to collaborate all the time to
bring it to completion in the shortest time. This is where a superior
VoIP PBX solution can help them stay connected at the lowest cost and
with most features including voice and video calls as well as
document sharing. The IP
PBX software can play a pivotal role.
Routing
calls to the right person
Let
us assume the above set up and distribution of a project. Individuals
and teams in diverse locations may be assigned specific numbers
linked to the VoIP PBX. That makes it easy for anyone within the
organization or from the client side contact specific individuals. No
time wasting, no bothering the wrong person. Then again there is
another feature known as listen and barge in so, when an employee
discusses one matter with a client his immediate supervisor or team
mate can listen in and barge in if necessary.
Collaborative
features
IT
industries do need to choose a modern IP PBX with WebRTC
inclusion if they wish to prioritize collaboration. This feature
makes web conferencing easy, even through mobiles, which most remote
based IT workers are likely to use. The HO can have team discussions
with customers and with branch offices in a three way conference,
share documents and show progress on screen through screen sharing
facility. Issues can be identified and action taken speedily. It is
easy to send an email from within the application during the
conference as well as send PDF or any other document or display a
PowerPoint presentation on screen.
Centralized
yet distributed
An
IT company with head office in one location may have branches in
various countries. VoIP PBX can be centralized and yet be distributed
through the multi-tenant feature. This means each branch can have a
separate account and maintain separate contact lists as well as call
records. Yet, the HO can oversee and monitor all branch activities
through call records and data gathering which helps in analytics.
This sort of multi-tenant facility is ideal in another way too.
Quick
shift
An
IT company may wish to set up temporary operations in one fresh
location in which case the software based VoIP PBX can be set up in
as little as an hour or so and become a fully operational branch of
the existing PBX communication network. You do not have to physically
uproot hardware and then reinstall. The hosted software lets you get
started from any location at short notice. Speed is of the essence in
IT operations and communications are fundamental so when you have
immediate communications your projects can get off the ground that
much faster.
