Top Considerations When Planning a Migration

Switching to a new system may sound overwhelming, but see the glass half full, it is also an opportunity to upgrade and future proof your business communication. Whether you would like to continue utilizing an on-premise PBX system or switch to a cloud-based solution, there are a number of options out there. We’re here to help you make a painless migration.

1. What to do with your existing equipment and infrastructure?

Compatibility is one of the top priorities. Make sure the solution not only allows you to leverage what you have been already using, including IP phones, SIP trunks, and other equipment, but also requires minimum efforts to integrate and configure during the transition. You may need to consider the time frame for the migration to avoid disruption of your daily operation as well. Some larger multi-site companies may even want to evaluate a hybrid solution to bridge the gap between their existing PBX system and the platform they select going forward.

2. Choose your ideal deployment plan.

On-premise or cloud? Actually, there is no ultimate better choice between them. Cloud is popular now while premise is also far from dead. The on-premises option involves long-term investments with full control of the system, while the cloud-based option often comes with a pay-as-you-grow pricing model and no requirement for on-site maintenance. Both options have pros and cons, and your business need is what really matters. How would you prefer to pay? Do you prefer a capital or operational expense? Do you need complete control? Would you rather have the equipment in-house?

3. Unified Communications unleashes great potential.

Unified Communications brings a powerful feature set and holds great potential for business communication regardless of your deployment. As the modern workforce becoming more agile, anywhere anytime communication enabled by BYOD mobility have also become increasingly significant. Advanced collaboration features also deliver enhancement to efficiency and productivity. To empower and future-proof your business phone system, unified communications should be a necessity when making the decision.
