Did you know that MBX service allows for workers to connect to the central network wherever an internet connection is available? This is true with the latest IP-PBX phone systems as well; however, there are two major disadvantages of using an IP-PBX to manage your remote workers.

Your entire remote staff depends on it!

First and the most obvious, your entire remote staff depends on one phone system at your Seattle office. If it goes down, not only does your office go down, but your entire remote staff gets shut down as well. Many Seattle business owners counter that their old PBX phone systems never went down.

What Seattle businesses don't realize

This brings me to my second reason, and what I will cover in the majority of this article, is what Seattle business owners don't realize. They don't realize that using their business's only internet connection to connect their remote staff reduces reliability, requires significantly more internet bandwidth, and can affect the phone systems call quality.

Connecting directly to the datacenter

With an MBX phone service (a great for many Seattle businesses), workers connect directly to the MBX provider’s datacenter and use the datacenter's internet. This is like comparing an old dial up connection to a modern fiber internet connection- the point is that they don't really compare. They go in and out from time to time regardless of whether or not your business has a T1, cable, or fiber connection. You can’t do anything about this unless you purchased multiple internet connections and were prepared to power your equipment by battery in case of power loss.

Quality providers for phone systems Seattle

Quality MBX phone systems providers should have at least 2 internet connections with some, such as SoundLine, utilizing up to 6 different internet connections. This provides ultimate redundancy and ensures that no matter what is happening at your Seattle office that your remote workers will still be able to take calls and your office calls can be forwarded to any number of existing cell phones. This ensures that your business will never rely on single points of failure and can maintain a strong and powerful image for phone systems Seattle.
