Unified Communications Phone Systems for Smart, Modern Businesses.
Despite the ever-growing movement towards cloud-based UCaaS platforms, there remain very legitimate reasons for considering the installation of an on-site UC solution.
UC stands for Unified Communications, and it is an all-in-one Unified Communications platform that combines an on-site-based phone system with collaboration and conferencing tools. Configurations can be customized to allow (or restrict) access of the phone system from a computer or smartphone.
Why Consider an On-Site UC solution?
- Cost: The total cost of ownership is lower when compared to the recurring payments if spread over the systems entire lifecycle. The cost disparity becomes more pronounced the more end points the business must support.
- Control: Since it is your hardware, data and software platform, you have complete ownership and control. Any changes, configurations, and upgrades are done at your discretion.
- Connectivity: There is no reliance on external factors such as the internet to access your servers. Good quality voice must operate within certain parameters and without reliable and/or fast enough internet on-site solutions make more sense.
- Flexibility: A dedicated system allows you full control including the hardware, making it better suited for organizations that have many applications and complex workloads to run and are perhaps larger in size.
- Security: When physically residing within the enterprise and connected to the company’s local network, it is easier to observe company-approved credentials, since the company is solely responsible for their security.
If you are contemplating an On-Site Solution, there is also the additional stress of picking the right platform. Not only must you evaluate costs, features, functionality, etc. - you have to make sure what your investment will last. Over the last few years, several larger brand-names have exited the voice business or been bought by larger competitors that phased out existing product lines (Toshiba, iWATSU, etc.).
