Managed Telephony Services vs. Cloud

January 22, 2015 by Admin

Many organizations are considering cloud or hosted solutions for various parts of their IT infrastructure. Some are even considering outsourcing the entire function of IT off site to one of the many cloud/hosted solution providers.

How does voice communications fit into this growing trend?  While hosted voice solutions can provide attractive price and ease of management in todays’ complex unified communications environment there are some pitfalls.  The basic architecture and connectivity of the hosted model does not allow for many features and devices that are considered basic and necessary by most users.   Devices not generally supported in a hosted voice offering include; digital phone sets, analog phone sets and faxing.  Additionally, features commonly desired like music on hold, overhead paging and wireless handsets are not normally supported in a hosted environment.

STL Communications offers an onsite “Managed Solution” combining the attractive pricing and ease of a “hosted solution” with multi device support and full features of a traditional telephony system, on site with more control, better management, and better reliability.
