PBX systems depreciate much worse than cars

The minute a business PBX phone system is installed on site it loses at least 50% of it's value. As equipment, a PBX really makes for a poor investment because eventually it will also become obsolete and you will need to repeat this poor investment yet again, without recovering a penny. By the time a business is ready for a new phone system, they might as well throw their old phone system away because it won't be worth but some spare change.

So not only does a business have to spend thousands on brand new phone system equipment, it will also pay a technician a pretty penny to service the complicated PBX. While many small business organizations may accept this as the norm, there is a better way. It is now possible to avoid these old PBX issues and the solution lies in the equipment, or lack thereof. The equipment itself, the hardware of the PBX is what is costly and requires costly maintenance or replacement parts. If you eliminate that hardware you eliminate the costs as well as the maintenance in one swoop.

So how does a business eliminate the hardware from the equation? Well a quality hosted PBX solution such as IP Xtreme is exactly the way to do it. With no PBX equipment on site, there is hardly upfront costs, and never a service call. Small business organizations really stand to gain a lot from these cost savings. Thanks to Voice Over IP (VoIP) technology we now have created phone systems that actually never lose value or cause your company to throw away money.
