PART THREE
EXAMPLE SCENARIOS
The difference between hosted and on-site solutions is not black and white; there is no absolute rule to dictate which type of IPPBX solution is superior. The following scenarios illustrate the differing needs and situations of end users and their appropriate solutions. Read these examples to understand when to use hosted, on-site, or combination solutions.
Scenario 1 A company including 50 local workers that speak to each other on the telephone extensively. However, the company has limited bandwidth that only supports five concurrent calls. Solution: an on-site system that will route internal calls locally, freeing up the bandwidth to support incoming and outgoing non-local calls. |
Scenario 2
A large national provider has branches in many different cities, several of which are in remote locations. |
|
Scenario 3 A manufacturing plant of 200 staff members with 100 pre-existing cabled analog handsets already patched. The company does not wish to lose their investment in the 100 handsets and cabling. Solution: an on-site hybrid system linking the existing handsets and adding new IP possibilities. |
Scenario 4
A small business that employs four home workers, none of whom take responsibility for IT matters. |
