FREE on-demand training event organized by Voice Report

It’s getting harder and harder to justify paying for on-premise telecom infrastructure. There’s an alternative when capital dollars are scarce: managed and hosted services. But your decision comes down to more than just cost ... you must consider the security, disaster recovery and compliance implications, just to name a few.

Determine when managed or hosted services are your best option with a comprehensive evaluation of the pros and cons presented by IP telephony expert Byron Battles at this FREE information-packed webcast organized by Voice Report.

» Begin your decision process by analyzing your business requirements (hint: don’t forget to address database integration, support and reporting!)

» Weigh the benefits that come with hosted and managed services, including predictable operating expenses and outsourcing daily tasks like monitoring

» Sketch out your managed services contract with Byron’s list of 11 must-have components

» Hear how 3 enterprises made their decisions when Byron presents real-world case studies from a venture capital firm, an international bank, and a municipality

» Learn the business drivers that lead enterprises to implement hosted and managed telecom solutions

» Determine how staffing must play a role in your managed vs. hosted vs. on-premise decision
