HOSTED UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS

 

CUSTOMER BENEFITS OF CLOUD

Hosted UC refers to a communication system that uses Voice IP to provide a Cloud-based phone system and messaging systems for businesses. Often this service is provided by a network service provider as a part of an overall network solution. This type of solution provides a customer with the ultimate in flexibility as access to “seats” are typically purchased on a monthly basis and can scale up and down as needed. The hosted infrastructure required to provide UC functions (chat, presence, etc.) resides in the data center of your service provider. Your IP connection to the cloud allows users to access that functionality. Back-end infrastructure is all bundled for a monthly fee.

Customers also enjoy the flexibility of the actual dial tone access being provided by the provider in a scalable fashion as well. Customers also are out of the phone system management business, and the uptime and investment in keeping the solution running stays with the Hosted provider.

Enterprise features are available for even small-scale customers, giving them the ability to purchase advanced solutions like contact center typically on a one off basis. Providers work hard at delivering Hosted VOIP as reliable as possible, allowing a customer to scale to meet demand.

CASE STUDIES

ZK Research shows that, on average, 83%of IT budgets are used to “keep the lights on,” meaning only 17% of the budget is used for strategic initiatives. Rather than asking for a bigger budget, the easier way to increase the amount of money dedicated to strategic initiatives is to shrink by 83% by using products and services that improve the operational efficiency of IT. That’s what a hosted UC solution can do. Here are the top reasons why:

  • Centralized management and administration.
  • Rapid expansion of services to remote locations.
  • Enablement of BYOD.
  • Efficient use of budget including lower barrier to entry, better budget planning, and efficient use of IT Staffing.
  • Application diversity.
