Cloud Hosted Business Phone System for Australian Businesses

Move away from aging PABX hardware to a secure, cloud hosted business phone system that keeps your team reachable across offices, remote sites and mobile devices.

If you are running a small or growing organisation, it can feel like you are paying too much for phone lines, maintenance and confusing plans while still missing important calls.

A cloud hosted business phone system from Microsolve replaces multiple bills and aging hardware with one simple, managed service that makes communication easy for your team and your clients.

Microsolve designs, implements and manages your cloud-hosted office phone system end‑to‑end, so your phones stay online while you focus on running your organisation.

Cloud Hosted Business Phone Systems

What Is a Hosted Business Phone System?

A cloud-based business phone system, also known as a hosted phone solution or VoIP system, gives you a modern office phone system delivered from the cloud, without the cost and complexity of managing hardware in every location.

This technology eliminates the need for expensive on-premise hardware giving you enterprise-grade features without the spend!

Cloud Hosted vs Traditional PABX

Unlike traditional office phone systems that require significant capital investment in PABX equipment, this approach runs in the cloud with geo‑redundant infrastructure, while traditional PABX depends on a single on‑premise box.

Cloud systems scale in minutes and support remote workers natively, whereas legacy hardware often needs expensive cards, cabling and technician call‑outs.

You do not need to be a telecoms expert; Microsolve plans the move, manages the providers and guides you and your team so the change feels straightforward rather than stressful.

Key Cloud PABX Outcomes for Australian Businesses

Cloud based PABX solutions are more than an upgrade; they are a practical way to modernise your business phone service without large capital projects.

Professional Voice Solutions for Australian Business

Cost Effective

A subscription-based hosted business phone system delivers predictable monthly costs while eliminating large PABX capital projects and ongoing maintenance fees. You reduce equipment, power and line rental costs and avoid expensive technician call‑outs when you need changes.

Mobility & Remote Working

Cloud hosted business phone systems enable employees to make and receive calls from anywhere with an internet connection, in the office, at home or on the road. Your office extension is no longer tied to a desk; staff can answer calls on mobiles, laptops or a home office desk phone without sharing personal numbers.

Scalable, Flexible & Resilient

Hosted business phone systems adapt to changing business needs without requiring hardware upgrades. Adding new users, locations, or features happens through simple configuration changes rather than costly equipment installations or new phone line installs. Redundant cloud infrastructure and mobile failover protect your voice communications from site outages.

Advanced Integration

Cloud telephone systems integrate seamlessly with existing business applications, including CRM software. When sales teams receive calls, the system automatically displays customer records and interaction history, maximising efficiency and improving customer service quality.

No more phone hardware cupboards!

The same connection that delivers your internet now delivers your secure, cloud hosted business phone service, removing old PABX cabinets and multiple phone lines.

Real-time Reporting

Cloud hosting provides access to real-time call statistics and dashboards enabling decisions on staff rostering or call overflow to be made based on fact rather than feel.

Our services

What Challenges do Cloud PABX solutions address?

Redundant, high‑quality voice

Microsolve's cloud hosted phone system includes redundancy features and mobile failover options that often provide better reliability than traditional phone lines. Quality of Service (QoS) configuration ensures voice traffic receives priority on your network and over the Internet. Redundant cloud infrastructure and mobile failover help ensure incoming calls still reach your team, even if a site link or device is offline.

Security and compliance built in

Microsolve's cloud hosted phone solution includes enterprise-grade security measures, including encryption and secure, redundant Australian based data centres. Our solution exceeds the security standards of traditional phone systems while providing detailed audit trails and is compliant with International Security standards.

Smart call routing and analytics

Advanced call routing, queues, IVRs and after‑hours rules help ensure calls reach the right person and fewer client calls go unanswered. Call recording and reporting tools provide insight into call volumes, wait times and missed calls improving service levels and client outcomes.

Organisations have used our hosted platform to stop dropped incoming calls between sites and improve response times for critical enquiries.

Support for Hybrid and Remote Work

Staff can make and receive business calls from the office, home or on the road using softphone and mobile apps linked to their extension.  Presence, call transfer and collaboration features help distributed teams respond quickly without depending on a fixed desk phone or giving out personal mobile numbers.

Simple Pricing and Scalability

Microsolve's cloud PABX solution uses a monthly subscription model per user reducing upfront capital and smoothing cash flow. Organisation changes (such as new users, locations or features) can be added or removed quickly without major hardware changes.

Migration from Legacy Phone Systems

Microsolve can plan and execute a staged migration from ISDN, analogue lines or on‑premise PABX to minimise downtime and user disruption.  Number porting, handset rollout, user training and post‑go‑live monitoring are handled as part of a structured project, not ad‑hoc changes

Advanced Integration & Automation

Extending the platform for API driven SMS, call-recording, transcription or even OCR of incoming fax calls is no issue.  Secure API access and assistance from experienced developers is available.

Call Reporting and Compliance Issues?

Meet your compliance and continuity obligations with a managed cloud phone platform hosted in Tier 1 data centres and supported by a security‑first IT partner.
