Australia’s corporate communication dynamics are shifting, driven by the surge in hosted phone systems, notably Hosted PBX (Cloud PBX, VoIP cloud phone system, and so forth). Market Research Future’s 2023 study predicts that by 2028, Australia’s hosted PBX sector could be worth a whopping $1.5 billion. Let’s delve into the undeniable advantages propelling this growth:

Powerful Business Telephony
These contemporary systems come packed with over 100 unique features, amplifying productivity, especially in call management, custom messages, and integrations.

Economic Calling Plans
Businesses can witness a drop in monthly telecom costs by nearly 50%. A 2023 study shows that 73% of Australian SMEs are gearing towards adopting these systems within a year.
