Why are enterprises shifting to a cloud-based delivery model for voice IP communications? • Lower Total Cost of Ownership is key driver
The certainty of being able to project monthly expenses for company-wide Voice IP communications— through an affordable monthly charge per employee that includes phones & calling features
The ability to make the most use of bandwidth for both voice and data
To maintain control of standardized calling policies—but outsource the operation and expense of communications services to a trusted service provider
