Better to Rent or Own?

When selecting the VoIP solution that is best suited for your organization there are many things to consider including: Delivery Model – Hosted vs Private Hosted vs Premise Based Connectivity – Dedicated Bandwidth vs Public Internet Service Model – Onsite or Remote It’s commonplace that organizations overlook the delivery model. The reason being, most providers only offer a hosted model. At VOIXIS we realize the marketplace wants options, you want the ability to pick the model that works best for your organization. For the small business hosted VoIP is most often the prudent choice. It calls for little upfront cost and allows an organization to reap the benefits of a full blow feature rich platform with no capital expenditure. For organizations in excess of 20 employees it is important to evaluate how you like to measure ROI, one year, five years or perhaps 10 years. Take a look at the chart below to determine what delivery method is best suited for your organization. roi

Hosted: A rental model where you often pay for the phones up front, get the advantage of a maintenance free system but pay a per seat license for eternity. Premise Based: An ownership model that has you pay for the system upfront (or finance) and you own the system with no additional cost. You do lose the advantage of having the provider manage the system for you. Private Hosted: An ownership model that has you pay for the system upfront (or finance) and you own the system, it’s managed for you with the only ongoing cost being the low monthly hosting fee.
