Main Challenges
With having multiple sites it was difficult with internal and inter office communications between staff as well as locating staff when we needed to transfer customer calls to them, our current systems were not networked and did not allow the flexibility we required.
We needed our staff to be mobile, the current system had no mobile options.
We needed a solution that still functioned 100% when our internet went down, we always lost all our phone communications when the internet went down which majorly effect our business.
Support from suppliers, we were looking for a supplier with exceptional after sales support in the timely fashion and cost effective, with our current provider we were not getting this.
We needed the ability to be able to maintain the systems basics features ourselves without having to call out an Engineer all the time, this was both time consuming and costly and you needed to be an engineer to operate it.
We wanted to reduce the cost to maintain hardware so we thought whats better than to get reduced the amount of hardware if possible so we started looking for a software solution in the cloud with soft phones and mobile apps.

Proposed Solution
A 3CX Software IP based PBX, 3CX is a very feature rich PBX that can also be hosted in the cloud, we hosted it with PP Enterprise Group on an Amazon Cloud. We installed Yealink T58A IP Phones for reception phones for our two locations and also added a Yealink EXP50 expansion module to display all of our extensions on for easy of use. We installed four Yealink T21PE2 for key staff whom sit at their desks most of the time, we decrease our phone system hardware by 53 physical telephones by replacing them with the IOS & Android 3CX Mobile App. We were already using PP Enterprise Group for sip trunking services so we connected this to our 3CX PBX Cloud Server.
Result
PBX hosted in the cloud
Both our sites now networked together
Calls between sites are now free calls
All our staff are mobile and contactable using the 3CX mobile app
Incoming calls to direct dial numbers now go directly to staff mobile phones.
Internet outages no longer stop our phones from working
3CX features are available to all users
We can manage the main day to day requirements of the PBX internally
3CX annual license means we get all the software updates as they become available which keeps our system up to date with the latest technology, also no need to keep purchasing hardware.
We now have a 24/7 support contract for a low annual fee, this covers us for any other more technical issues or changes to the PBX in the event that we cannot manage this ourselves.
Conclusion
Customer response“Great system, it is easy to use and has allowed our large multi-site office to communicate with freedom. The price point was low, however, the features of the system are high. Support pre, during and post-installation has been exceptional. Highly recommend Piri and his product by Kyle Dorman”
