Most on-premise and legacy PBX solutions require desk phones to be hardwired to the PBX and PSTN networks. However, these outmoded phone systems were not designed to support today's large remote workforces.
🚨 What happens when companies don't support a 'BYOD' environment?
Companies that do not support a bring-your-own-device environment are dealing with four major challenges:
Security: The inability to secure these devices and workflows exposes sensitive company information with each call, making an IT administrator's nightmare a reality.
Functionality: Lack of key business PBX features for admins, sales, support, and managers can have a negative impact on how a business operates in today's environment.
Remote administration: Legacy solutions are frequently difficult to manage remotely, making them difficult to update and troubleshoot.
Customer operations: Inbound calls to the main business number must be answered from anywhere and routed to the appropriate employees, particularly in sales and support.
⚙️ On-premise System Limitations
The remote work environment of today has revealed many flaws in on-premise solutions. On-premise PBX systems, for example, were designed to run voice over a network and can only meet modern demands through constant modification. They can have significant limitations when your teams are suddenly forced to work from home:
Many newly remote employees end up using their personal cell phones to communicate with coworkers and customers, exposing their personal phone numbers.
Managers are unable to view their employees' online presence or access call reporting and metrics for their teams.
Executive assistants and their bosses lose access to their workflows, such as transfer, conference, hold, and directory access.
IT administrators are unable to deploy updates, track usage, or troubleshoot problems.
However, despite all of these drawbacks, there is still a strong desire to stay with these on-premise systems. Large businesses frequently do not want to abandon their previous investments, and the perceived risk of migrating to a new platform also causes hesitation.
Migrating to the cloud, on the other hand, is the smart choice for simplifying management, saving money, and scaling phone communications for a remote workforce.
