By Katrina Wheeler


A simple definition of Hosted PBX Canada (private branch exchange) is normally a switch station for telephones, commonly known as computerized branch exchange). Its components are different branches of telephone lines that help relay information to and from the switch. Not to mention its use in metering, recording statistics and measure the quantity of data. Technical roles include creating connections between phones and to properly end the connection when a call is dropped.

As a matter of fact companies use this switch stations to link all the internal phones lines to an external one. In other words the firm will only lease one line but at the same time it will be used by different employees. Therefore when a person needs to talk to another in the same network they commonly dial a one-digit to four-digit code; this is what is called an extension.

A complete station will consist of a micro-computer for data processing and control, (UPS) uninterrupted power supply, internal switch network, lines and switch boards. Today, thanks to technology the systems offer a number of services and functions some of which include call forwarding, auto assistance, customized greetings, caller ID blocking, do not disturb, reject anonymous calls and fail over.

Customers have the privilege of being greeted when they call the business. Some greetings are synthesized while some firms high professionals to develop them on their behalf. Its cost is far less compared to employing a full time office assistant. In addition they are not prone to emotions unlike humans. Not all firm go for this function, what they should know is that clients like to be shown attention and an auto-assistant is the best solution.

In addition the business gets the chance to get rid of jokers and prank callers who have a habit of blocking their identities. Abusive and notorious clients are also put on the block list to reduce conflicts. Under those circumstances, no information gets through to the company and customers are politely notified that anonymous calling is not allowed.

In businesses operating, it is sometimes not convenient to call especially during meetings and training. For this reason a feature in the system in politely informs the caller that they will be directed to voice mall, consequently the business phone will not ring.

Internet is not included in the package; some systems may require the purchase of new phones since they can become incompatible with old phone. Auto-assistant does not mean auto-problem solver. It will require management intervention for some queries by callers.
