We are excited to share with you information that will help grow your business and create better customer relationships. But, first allow us to give you a little history on where all of our amazing features came from….

 

At one point it was impressive to have a potential customer dial on their phone and connect to someone, whether down the street or across the country. However, phone service quickly fell behind the needs of businesses.  Service providers were unable to provide added functionality on their end, so companies emerged with new pieces of technology that would take the simple service the phone company offered and adapt it to their needs. Thus was born the PBX or “Private automatic Branch eXchange. 

PBX

A PBX is a computer-like analog switch that routes phone calls in and out of a business using POTS (or plain old telephone system - Phone lines). These expensive boxes simply provided the routing necessary to let users transfer calls and share phone lines. 

This solution served its purpose for decades, costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring highly technical professionals to make simple changes like forwarding a call to a different extension. All of this geared to fill the hole left by phone service and the needs of growing businesses. 

With the evolution of the internet, new IP-PBX phone systems gave users the advantages of a PBX phone system, but added features such as cell phone integration, more advanced call routing, voicemail to email, and other such features. This new technology, while ground-breaking, still required expensive equipment which continued to place it out of the price range for most businesses

 

Why Now?

Northwest VOX saw the divide between business needs and the technology available and decided to bridge the gap. Our new phone service offers all of the features of a previously expensive PBX system in a dynamic and cost effective solution.
