Switching your business comms system, or due an upgrade? When moving to a new unified communications solution, businesses have two options — to host services on-site, or in the cloud. But what are these options, and what’s the difference?
Onsite UC
🔥 Managed on premise for control of the system
🔥 Able to build bespoke to fit specific business needs
🔥 Increased security with no sharing of resources
🔥 Reduced reliance on internet connection
💧 Larger upfront cost
💧 Possible need for extra staff to manage infrastructure
In the cloud UC
🔥 Lack of physical hardware for grater scalability
🔥 Add new lines at the click of a button
🔥 Purchase on a per-user basis to save costs
🔥 Easy remote access and multi-device login
💧 Potentially less secure
Deciding between an on-site or hosted UC solution can be tricky. But it’s possible to find the setup that offers the best of both worlds to your business — balancing flexibility and cost with security and quality.
