How Can Hosted Services Benefit Your Business?
What is the end-user pitch?
Comparing Hosted PBX to Premise Based
Hosted Premise Based
Scalability Unlimited Limited by size of device
Flexibility to meet needs Increments of 1 user System scale adds cost
Management Portal for entire system Multiple management systems
Costs Rental per month Capital purchase or lease
Technology risk With the service provider With the enterprise
Disaster recovery Very strong capabilities Taken out by on-site issues
Work anywhere All users have the same features
Features will be limited at certain sites
Feature set Hundreds Depends on the platform
Focus on Your Core Business
To increase their level of competitiveness, businesses are focusing their resources on the core business
Hosted communications allows businesses to move the capital cost of a PBX off the balance sheet while providing significant added value to the business
Lower Your Costs
With Hosted PBX you don’t need to buy servers or other expensive system hardware
Other than phones there is no capital to depreciate*
Typically the 3 year TCO of a Hosted PBX is 30% lower than a premise based solution
* Phones can also be rented
Work Anywhere and Boost Business Productivity
Hosted PBX users can access the same powerful set of features regardless of being in the office, at the airport or from home
Easier to control remote users communication costs using hosted services
Remote user productivity dramatically improves when accessing hosted PBX features
No Costly IT to Worry About
The days of configuring the box in the equipment room are over
Hosted allows simple configuration of the service from user friendly portals
Users and features can simply be added or removed at the click of a mouse with minimal training
Business Continuity Means Your Business is Never Down
What happens if a flood, fire or earthquake takes out your business premise?
With your phone service in the cloud you can start working from a different location easily
The cloud phone service is built on a highly resilient Telco architecture which will be unaffected by natural disasters
Scale Up or Scale Down as Required
Businesses are constantly changing – adding new offices or growing out of old ones
Hosted provides the ultimate flexibility to change with the dynamics of your business
This flexibility lowers the cost of change for your telecoms systems and gets you up and running sooner
Gain Productivity from Unified Communications
Hosted provides unified communications features that increases staff productivity
Examples include voicemail to email, clients that turn your PC or Mac into a phone, instant messaging and presence
Alleviates IT Worries with Automatic Updates
With Hosted PBX your service provider takes care of updating the features so you don’t have to
There is no worry about technology obsolescence as you will always have access to the latest features from the cloud
“Death of the PSTN…!”
Taglines and Industry Quotes
The Technical Advisory Council (TAC) estimates that only 6% of Americans will use the PSTN by 2018. TAC projects the sunset of PSTN no later than 2018.
In late 2012, ATT sent a petition to the FCC to swiftly retire the PSTN and move to a nationwide IP infrastructure
In 2009 17% of respondents lived in mobile-only households. In 2012 the number grew to 39%
PSTN networks are outdated, too expensive to maintain and loaded with regulatory fees and surcharges.
Taglines and Industry Quotes
POTS revenue is on a swift decline going from $15B in 2010 to $11B in 2012 to an estimated $6B in 2018
Business adoption of VoIP has increased from 21% in 2009 to 35% in early 2012
Charles Darwin made a noteworthy point….if we are interested in evolving and prospering into the next decade, it is important to recognize the inevitable change that is coming and prepare accordingly.
