In New Zealand the legacy copper based voice network (PSTN) is slowly being phased out as more and more services are being delivered over the new Fibre Optic networks. IP based voice services (VoIP) are the way forward and some corporate business’s and SME’s have been using IP based Telephony for quite some time so the technology is not new.
Whether your company should have a “box” on the wall or an application running on your local server that your handsets connect to or you just connect those same handsets to a server based in a data centre somewhere will really just come down to how you run your business.
Some Cloud providers will supply a phone, a dedicated phone number (DDI) and a calling plan, with so many minutes, for a monthly cost. For a small business with only a few desk phones this is a no brainer. For a business that has a lot of staff and phones this model may be a little costly and a Cloud based PBX where everyone has their own extension and shares the companies external voice lines may be a better option.
At the end of the day once you upgrade your legacy copper lines to VoIP, the ITSP that then provides you with the “dial tone” is basically a cloud provider anyway so you are already using the cloud.
The on premise PBX days are numbered and will eventually go the same way of the residential landline here in New Zealand.
