Remote and hybrid work have become a lasting feature of the post-pandemic workplace, with major companies like Citigroup and Google opting for flexible models rather than mandating full-time office returns. This shift presents challenges for cities like New York, where commuter activity once fueled the economy. Mayor Eric Adams has emphasized the importance of office workers in supporting local businesses. With many workers favoring remote options, businesses must adapt by using tools like the Vodia cloud phone system, which supports dispersed teams while reducing telephony costs by up to 80%.

Whether using older models like the Fanvil X4 or newer ones like the X4U, Vodia ensures smooth provisioning for each phone model.

A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is essentially a company's private phone network system, allowing internal and external communication. Traditionally, businesses were connected to the public telephone company's central office for all call-related activities. Advancements, however, led to companies bringing this system in-house, creating the PBX. This setup allowed businesses to manage calls internally without needing separate external phone lines for every phone. Over time, these systems became automated, and now many PBX systems are hosted in the cloud, operating over the internet rather than traditional phone lines.
