Did You Know the Hosted Softswtich Can Help You Go Green?

By Susan J. Campbell, TMCnet Contributing Editor


Have you implemented a strategy to go Green in your office? Not that long ago, media channels focused on little else, hoping to drive the collective thinking toward protecting the planet. While many companies are focused on reducing their carbon footprint, others are more concerned with reducing the amount of money spent out of the budget.


When it comes to your technology purchases, where do you fall?

Consider the hosted softswitch. There is an endless number of sources available to support the cost effectiveness of embracing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). It also helps that the technology offers a fluid and scalable platform that can easily be tailored to fit your business needs. But did you know that this deployment option is also eco-friendly?

A recent Fonality (News - Alert) blog highlighted how you can get the best of both worlds, taking advantage of seamless communications and protecting the environment at the same time. The hosted softswitch allows you to go Green by integrating multiple business communications systems into one. You can easily increase virtual communication with videoconferencing, data sharing and more, cutting down on IT hardware, paper, physical storage needs and other material, and energy-related expenses.

The hosted softswitch can also help you cut down on physical mobility through virtual mobility. This technology helps you to considerably cut down on travel and commuting. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, significantly helping the environment while you also help employees save money on gas.

In reality, there are aspects of communications that aren’t necessarily Green on their own. What these offerings can do, however, is provide your business with the ability to make initial decisions on implementations that require less energy consumption in the future. This produces a smaller footprint overall and more savings over time. Take the IP PBX (News - Alert), which is proven to be more efficient than the TDM PBX model. While implementation of the former may require more energy upfront, the benefits over the long run are measurable.

Regardless of you reason for examining the hosted softswitch as a viable option for your business, the reality is the platform can offer a number of key savings, both in terms of the environment and the bottom line. The important point is to select the service that best meets your needs and follow a strategy for implementation and execution.
