If all this is starting to sound like more trouble than it's worth, remember that turning your PBX into a software solution means a significant opportunity for flexibility and integration that you simply can't get any other way. After all, programmers can now treat your phone as an app. Where that's taken us is to the fast-changing UCaaS paradigm mentioned above.

Voice over IP (VoIP) systems dominate the small to midsized business (SMB) telephone market, and that's only grown stronger during the pandemic. Not just because they're cheaper than an on-premises PBX, but mainly because they're mostly software, which makes them far more flexible.
