Hosted PBX $2 Billion by 2010
Hosted PBX and hosted Centrex style services are resonating most with smaller businesses in the 20-to-50 seat range, says In-Stat. But there's still a very long ways to go, according to separate research by Savatar. As shown in this graphic, blue shows small business managers who aren't sure which IP phone approach to adopt. Yellow shows those in favor of hosted PBX services while red shows preference for a premises switch.
Hosted PBX and hosted Centrex services will exceed $2 billion in annual revenue by 2010, the company says. In-Stat projects U.S. hosted PBX seats in service will continue to grow steadily to top three million in 2010, up from 373,000 in 2006. Cost savings remains the primary attraction to hosted business phone solutions, but the value associated with business-grade solutions is resonating more strongly among businesses that are willing to pay for them. Multi-location businesses and those with mobile or distributed employees are most attracted to hosted VoIP solutions, In-Stat says.
