What is hosted IVR and PBX for contact centers?

Hosted IVR (Interactive Voice Response) and PBX (Private Branch Exchange) are telephony systems delivered from the cloud rather than installed on-premise. SA Hosted's hosted telephony includes a drag-and-drop IVR builder, Amazon Polly text-to-speech, a hosted softswitch, virtual call queueing with callbacks, voicemail, and call recording — all managed by SA Hosted on AWS infrastructure without any hardware at the client's location.

What's Included

Hosted telephony that contact centers can actually configure.

Drag-and-Drop IVR Builder

Configure call flows visually without writing code. Map prompts, branches, routing logic, and time-of-day rules from a graphical interface.

Amazon Polly Text-to-Speech

Use natural-sounding TTS voices powered by Amazon Polly for IVR prompts — no need to record custom audio files for every message change.

Hosted PBX & Softswitch

Full hosted PBX functionality managed in the SA Hosted cloud environment. No on-premise telephony hardware to maintain, replace, or license.

Virtual Call Queueing & Callbacks

Hold callers in a virtual queue and offer a callback option. Customers keep their place without staying on hold, reducing abandonment.

Call Recording

Automatic call recording with configurable retention, secure storage, and compliance redaction for PII in recorded audio.

Voicemail

Agent and group voicemail with notification delivery. Supervisors can configure voicemail routing rules and access recordings through the management portal.

Why Hosted Telephony

What changes when your PBX is in the cloud.

On-premise PBX systems age, break, and lock contact centers into hardware replacement cycles. Hosted telephony changes the model: the infrastructure is maintained, upgraded, and supported by SA Hosted, not by your IT team. Changes to IVR call flows happen in a browser, not by calling a vendor for a maintenance window.

On-Premise PBX
  • Hardware in your server room
  • Vendor for every change
  • Upgrade = capital project
  • IVR changes require support tickets
  • No built-in redundancy
SA Hosted Telephony
  • Hosted on AWS cloud
  • SA Hosted manages infrastructure
  • Updates without hardware projects
  • IVR changes in the browser
  • Geo-redundant environment
