Comparison of AltiSphereX with Traditional Telecoms



To understand how to select a VoIP system for your business, you should know the difference between a modern cloud-based system and a traditional on-premise system. Traditional phone systems will have some on-premise hardware, such as servers and switches, that need to be managed and updated on-site. They have more moving parts and are becoming outdated when it comes to features and functionality available on the system. There is still a place for on-premise systems, and a good consultation will take into consideration your company's needs before recommending any solution.  VoIP systems, like AltiSphereX, Teams, and many more, do not require in-house equipment or wiring, there are less moving parts, and updates are simple and fast. There are many features available such as built-in Video Conferencing, work from anywhere, mobile apps, CRM integration and much more.
