What Is Cloud PBX?
Cloud PBX (Cloud-based Private Branch Exchange) is typically a virtual system that’s engineered fully within the cloud that answers and sends all calls to the right department via an internet connection. With a cloud-based solution, your business communication system will operate without the burden of on-premise equipment, while staying systematically and dependably connected.
Cloud-based VoIP systems have gained popularity because they provide unified communications without bulky hardware and complex installation. These systems cost less and have a degree of flexibility that cannot be matched by many alternative VoIP and traditional communications solutions. Modern virtual PBX solutions are reliable and supply a stable business phone system via the internet.
Why Your Business Needs a Cloud-based PBX Solution
Companies of all sizes are investing more in their communication systems to remain competitive. Despite the popularity of social media, email, and self-service help centers, phone calls still remain an integral part of customer service. Customers expect hands-on experiences from the companies they do business with.
This virtual phone system is secure, convenient and reliable, making it ideal for businesses.
Modern SMBs and large corporations are moving to networked communications because they are more agile and more versatile when it comes time to collaborate and seek out new business. These solutions are very low maintenance and can integrate with other cloud-based tools.

Introducing Key System Emulation for Cloud PBX
Businesses have been forced to accelerate their digital transformation efforts to align themselves with the technologies best suited for the modern hybrid workplace. A key component of these migration efforts is the transition from traditional on-prem phone systems to cloud-based platforms.
Moving your phone system into the cloud delivers the latest in phone system capabilities, such as simplifying the support for remote workers and eliminating many of the risks and high maintenance costs associated with legacy systems. But much to the dismay of some businesses, these modern systems come at the expense of one of the most popular features that legacy phone systems were best able to provide: Shared Line Appearances.
Cloud-based phone systems have made many attempts to overcome this limitation with Key System Emulation features that have mostly come up short.
Finally, there is a simple and elegant solution for those businesses that want the advantages of modern cloud-based systems while maintaining the simplicity and familiarity of legacy key systems. The Snom M-KLE Series offers a Key Line Emulation mode that takes matters into its own hands and delivers a shared line appearance experience that elegantly closes that technology gap.
