On-Premises iPBX Approach

Waste of Capital Investment

Traditional communications and storage services are based on-premises systems. Businesses will have to invest a large upfront capital expenses such as file servers, PBX, IP-PBX, Messaging and Conferencing servers with on-going maintenance and support costs. At the same time, each service is delivered from a service provider such as a phone company, a cable company or a web conferencing provider with monthly services fees.

On-premises equipment requires costly up front capital

On-premises solutions require costly up front capital expenses as well as complex IT administration

Operational Complexity

The operations are complicated which has directly been translated into low productivity. Worse yet, businesses will have to deal with various service providers and system vendors for obtaining agreement about whose system is actually at fault when downtime does occur. Since the systems are poorly or not-at-all integrated, troubleshooting problems can cost several times of the original on-premises equipment investment.

Vendor is in Charge not the Customers

Customers as well as their service providers have to rely on the third party vendors for the availability the services. Most of the cases, their business productivity is at the mercy of the hardware and software vendors. Any feedback and change request cannot be implemented until the vendor has the plan to incorporate into their product roadmap.

Multiple Points of Contacts

Businesses are frustrated with the time and effort spent in dealing with multiple vendors and service providers. Not to mention when there is a downtime or network problem, only the many support numbers are complicated enough to handle for small and medium sized businesses.

Skyrocket Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Total cost of ownership is high because of the capital investment and on-going operational and maintenance costs. Often times, businesses are investing in features and functionalities that are not in need. In contrary, only a small percentage of the features from their on-premises systems are being used.

Productivity Compromised

With all the complexity of the systems, integration, operations, maintenance and support that small and medium sized businesses have to handle, productivity are significantly compromised. The small and medium sized businesses are dying for a transformational way of services delivery.

Hosted VOIP Providers

Single Service Provider

Hosted VOIP providers do just that... provide VOIP service. While this is OK for 20th century companies moving from the old phone company mentality, it is clearly not competitive in today's 21st century business environment. Today, businesses need feature rich voice communication and storage solutions as well as other advanced features such as messaging, collaboration and call center services. Since hosted VOIP providers only provide a single service, businesses are left to cobble together their own unified IT services solutions. PanTerra solves this problem by delivering the industry's first truly cloud-based unified IT services solution.

Here's a comparison of PanTerra's cloud-based Multi-Service solution compared to a typical hosted VOIP provider.

Technology Typically Comes from 3rd Party

Most hosted VOIP providers outsource their technology to separate technology companies. This creates a large gap between the customer and the developer of the technology and can lead to disastrous results including:

  • Extended down time when the service goes down due to the delay in interaction between the service provider and the technology provider
  • Extended delays in bug fixing due to the removed nature of the development team
  • Limited to no influence/impact on feature sets and technology direction due to interactions only with the service provider and not the technology provider

PanTerra is both the service provider AND the technology provider, eliminating all these issues.

Closed Solutions

Many hosted VOIP providers deliver a closed solution, requiring the customer purchase everything from end point hardware to connectivity from them. They tout higher levels of reliability and QoS. What it really translates to is higher prices and locked in contracts. Following their predecessors (the large phone companies), these VOIP providers can only survive by locking a customer into extended contracts for connectivity that many times is not market priced.

PanTerra delivers a completely open standard solution, allowing customers to select their own hardware and connectivity while still providing the highest level of reliability and QoS. With PanTerra, you don't have to trade off reliable service and cost.
