2. Employee Autonomy
   The ability to log into a portal to make whatever changes you want to your phone system without making any service calls should entice you enough. If you want someone specific to answer the phone, you can go into the portal and do it.

Your phone system is available for you to manipulate without having to call any service provider asking them to make tiny changes. By logging into this portal, there’s a billion things that one can do with their hosted PBX platform if they take the time to learn it.

Utilizing a company’s minutes and individual extension, voicemail and contacts, calls remain professional no matter what device is used^[1].
