So many benefits have been touted for the hosted phone system, you’re tired of hearing about it. You know you can save money, improve communications and streamline operations by making the change, but you’ve invested in a Meridian phone system and you can’t justify letting it go. The good news is that you don’t have to sacrifice one to get the benefits of the other.
The introduction of cloud-based communications opened the door to this challenge for companies throughout the global marketplace with legacy phone system investments. Purchasing managers know how much they invested in these systems and the cost savings associated with VoIP are not powerful enough to produce a rapid return on investment (ROI). But what if you could enjoy the benefits of both?
In Canada alone, 65 percent of businesses are still using non-IP based phone systems. While many have considered making the switch to lower cost communications, they still have the legacy investment. And, making a change that affects the way you communicate with customers and colleagues is a big deal – a decision you don’t want to make lightly. Avoiding the decision altogether, however, can deny your company the benefits of the hosted phone system.
Features like voicemail to email, remote office, Find Me Follow Me, CRM Integration and Web portal management are all available with the all-IP system. Plus, you don’t have to rip and replace your legacy system to enjoy the benefits of these features. That would require the purchase of all new phones, a new PBX (News - Alert), the replacement of all your CAT 3 and new CAT 6 cabling and the labor associated with these activities.
You can simply migrate to the hosted PBX and avoid the cost of the new PBX, new phones, re-cabling, retraining your staff and the business interruption during the implementation. Hosted phone system provider, BroadConnect offers a simple, seamless way to connect your current investments with new technology. Using the Citel Portico TVA, the migration process is seamless.
When you reuse your current investment, you save money and headaches as staff doesn’t have to be retrained on a new system. For them, it’s business as usual. This approach provides the most cost effective way to migrate or upgrade your current PBX to enjoy the IP functionality you’ve heard so much about. Plus, BroadConnect can save you up to 40 percent off a complete rip and replace solution. No rewiring is required, you retain your existing hardware and you save the migration costs.
