What is the advantage of a cloud / hosted phone system?

The advantages of moving to a cloud-based or hosted PBX or VoIP phone system are numerous. The typical burdens of onsite/on-premise PBX telephone systems which include maintenance, disaster recovery and storage space to name a few are passed on to your provider.

• Office space is freed up as servers and other hardware is hosed offsite by a 3rd party.
• Security, disaster recovery and phone maintenance is handled off site by external resources allowing for organisations to focus on other core business areas.
• Hosted and cloud based phone systems are highly scalable and therefore highly responsive to the growth or reduction of employees/extensions.
• The large start-up costs associated are eliminated as companies switch from a CAPEX to an OPEX model.
• Moving to the cloud reduces the energy bills incurred by hosting hardware on site.
• Call costs are reduced by switching from an ISDN connection to SIP.
• A move to cloud and hosted telephony allows for easier sharing of information between staff members across sites or on the move.
• A hosted and cloud based phone system can be set up to sync with your online systems as a reliable back up if your system goes down increasing business continuity.
• In summary hosted solutions have some advantages over on premises systems however in the long term the total cost of ownership can be much higher.

Tenant Based vs Multi Instance

West Pier offer both the Avaya IP Office and Avaya Aura Communication Manager communication solutions in a multi instance hosted Avaya telephone system format.

Multi instance architecture uses one software application instance per client and has a range of benefits to it's users.

Tenant-Based	Multi-Instance
Limited feature set - typically a high volume of tenants and subscriptions are required to compensate the large infrastructure investment in the platform resulting in the service being targeted at the 'basic user' market with simple or few telephony requirements resulting in a fixed and inflexible product.	No feature limitations - every feature possible within the solution available for you to use and customise as required. The service is uncontended and unrestricted.
Restricted deployment options - the result of a high volume and low or zero touch (i.e. self service) model to the customer means adapting your business to the product and it dictating deployment strategy for infrastructure such as cabling and disaster recovery in telephony.	Flexibility in deployment - the solution can be adapted to your business requirements. Partial cloud or full cloud with flexible disaster recovery and deployment options such as working with older cabling technologies or local backup hardware onsite.
Existing Avaya customer?	Existing Avaya customer?
Rip and replace - telephones cannot be re-used and software does not have the potential to be migrated, no continuity of user experience, re-training required.	Investment Protection - where possible migrate your existing licenses and reduce your opex, re-use existing digital or VoIP handsets. Retain these assets if you decide to end your contract. Have a level of continuity in user and customer experience.
