Flexible Hybrid Hosted Approach
Bogert began searching for a new communications system, and it
soon became apparent that a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
solution could be a viable alternative to meet their criteria. Upon
thorough due diligence, the company engaged Fonality after reviewing
several providers.

They were attracted to the flexibility of Fonality’s hybrid-hosted PBXtra solution, which combined the reliability and security
of a premised based system with the functionality and ease-of-use of a hosted platform. The system allows for updates
and maintenance to be conducted automatically, so Bogert’s IT team could focus on core business objectives, rather than
managing the communications infrastructure.
The Advantages of a Hybrid-Hosted Solution
Because legacy on-premise solutions are expensive to purchase and even more expensive to maintain, many businesses
(like Bogert) are now looking into new deployment solutions such as hybrid hosted environments for their communication
needs. Fonality’s hybrid-hosted PBXtra solution provides a best of breed approach with the solution’s hardware residing on
the customers premise while the control panel (along with service, maintenance, and configuration) remains in the cloud. A
hybrid-hosted deployment solution (see figure 1-1) allows for the communications infrastructure (server) to be on-site while
deferring equipment monitoring and management costs to Fonality. With all Fonality solutions, configuration data is securely
backed up; call and data quality are assured; new system features and upgrades are included with support contracts, and
ultimately the total cost of ownership is much less than a legacy solution.
Administrators can remotely manage all aspects of the communication system and review real-time call logs with comprehensive
search filters for all extensions through the online web admin and user panel. Call logs and other data can be exported as reports
for use in Excel and Access, and managers can oversee individual and grouped devices from a single screen.

Fonality has become
an invaluable asset to
