Choosing the right Telecom solution for your business is no easy task
Business options include On-Premise, Cloud/Hosted services or even a Hybrid Solution of two. Each option has it's advantages and disadvantages and Nova Systems can assist with additional information and help choose the best option for your business.
When evaluating these options we look at 3 primary areas. These include upfront costs, monthly recurring costs (carrier expenses) and ongoing maintenance costs. This sets a budget and therefore a starting good point, finally we present options for your business so you can choose the best path forward for you.
- On-Premise: On-premise solutions are in-house telecom systems, mainly used by the larger corporations. Instead of subscribing to a monthly service a business will purchase and own the necessary hardware and host it in-house usually in a data rack. On-premise solutions could be based off a Standard PBX, SIP Trunking, or more recently might include IP PBX and VoIP capabilities and possibly include the building blocks for a hybrid solution. Typically premise based systems are more cost effective over time than other solutions but this equation is very dynamic so you should consult your telecom vendor before making decisions.
- Hosted/Cloud: A Cloud or Hosted Telecom service is a monthly recurring subscription that a business subscribes to in place of owning a premise based system and/or phone lines (trunks) from a local carrier. Depending on the vendor selected your business may need to purchase some hardware such as desktop IP phones or network equipment such as routers or Ethernet switches. The service provider then "hosts" the telecom equipment in a remote location (usually a data center) which then provides access for your business. The primary advantage of Cloud over Premise is monthly cost and maintenance. Because your business does not own the hardware there are no liabilities or upkeep costs associated and in theory no failures or downtime.
- Hybrid: A hybrid solution combines the cost savings advantages of Premise systems and the flexibility of Cloud services. This allows a business to own, maintain and control their platform in-house (or at a data center) and then provide access to through a private cloud or VPN to remote workers or satellite offices. Application vary wildly but normally Mid-size business and organizations choose this route as it provides a great deal of control and cost savings over extended periods of time.
Cloud VoIP (Hosted)
Hosted or Cloud VoIP is a very popular solution for small businesses today.
Premise Telecom
Premise phone systems or in-house PBX have traditionally been a reliable and cost effective solution for all but the smallest of businesses. Today virtually all systems are using VoIP both internally for desktop phones but also using VoIP for phone lines also called trunks.
