How does it work?

The hosted PBX works on a very simple platform. The calls can be transferred by a designated receptionist who can connect the calls to the other departments. The calls can also be answered by an auto-voice mode that can direct the callers by making them follow few simple instructions. This can finally lead in directing to the department that the caller is seeking and the call can be transferred to the employee deployed to service the caller. This technique also works if the company has different offices at various places and the calls can be easily interconnected for fast communication.
