Switchvox On-Premises: Alive & Well

Switchvox On-Premises: Alive & Well
The rumor mill started churning when cloud-based solutions began gaining prominence. These solutions offer scalable, flexible alternatives to traditional on-premises setups. As more companies migrated to the cloud, a narrative emerged suggesting that on-premises solutions like Switchvox were becoming obsolete. Though popular, this view only captures part of the picture.

The Reality of Switchvox On-Premises

Switchvox On-Premises remains a robust, feature-rich Unified Communications (UC) solution designed to meet businesses’ diverse needs. Far from dead, it continues receiving updates, support, and enhancements, ensuring its competitiveness and relevance. Sangoma Technologies, known for its commitment to cloud and on-premises communication solutions, continues to invest in Switchvox On-Premises.
The Benefits of On-Premises Solutions
While cloud-based systems offer benefits like ease of scalability and reduced physical infrastructure, on-premises solutions have their own set of advantages that make them indispensable for certain businesses:
  • Control and Customization: On-premises systems allow organizations to completely control and customize their UC environment to meet specific operational requirements.
  • Security and Compliance: For industries subject to stringent data protection regulations, on-premises solutions offer enhanced security and compliance capabilities, as sensitive information remains within the company’s controlled infrastructure.
  • Performance and Reliability: Businesses with demanding performance needs or those in areas with unreliable internet access find on-premises solutions more reliable, as they don’t rely on external networks for critical communications.
The Role of Switchvox On-Premises in Hybrid Environments
As businesses seek to balance the benefits of cloud and on-premises solutions, hybrid models have emerged as a compelling option. Switchvox On-Premises plays a crucial role in these environments, offering a bridge that allows companies to leverage the strengths of both approaches. Integrating with cloud services is beneficial while maintaining core systems on-premises, allowing businesses to achieve optimal flexibility and efficiency.
The Differentiation of Switchvox On-Premise
Switchvox is a fully-featured VoIP phone system deployed on-premises that the Sangoma endpoint devices can complement.
  • Save Money: Includes all features, offering flexible deployment options, fewer add-on fees, and simplified pricing, making it the best value in UC.
  • Enhances Your Customer’s Experience: Includes fully-featured call center tools, such as customizable call-flows, agent and supervisor controls, call recording and analytics, improving efficiency, productivity, and customer and agent experience.
  • Easy to Manage: Managed from anywhere via its intuitive point-and-click interface, reducing the need for extensive training.
