How Yeastar On-prem PBX Supports Remote Workforce?

Working from home isn’t going away. Global Workplace Analytics anticipates that 25-30% of employees will work from home multiple days per week through the end of 2021.

To that end, the cloud and hosted PBX market rises, yet on-premises PBX solutions don’t fall back. The breakthrough of hybrid cloud technology is best positioned to propel hardware PBX solutions on fulfilling telecommuting demands – with least IT and security issues – and makes it as easy as Cloud.
