When it’s time to ditch your legacy phone system
For most companies, an office phone system is such an essential part of doing business that they don’t think about replacing or changing it very frequently. In fact, statistics indicate that businesses replace a legacy phone system only about once every seven years. If you think about how fast technology changes, this means that many companies are struggling with an outdated phone system they are reluctant to replace.
Barriers to legacy phone system replacement
There are several reasons why companies are slow to replace an old phone system:
- Concerns about disruption to their business.
- A lack of knowledge about modern phone system options.
- Scarcity of IT resources to manage the legacy phone system replacement.
- Anticipated challenges of retraining staff.
- No budget for large capital expenditures.
Driving issues that lead to phone system replacements
Even given those concerns, eventually, legacy phone system replacement becomes necessary due to increasing challenges like:
- Expensive hardware upgrade and maintenance contract requirements.
- Outdated features that are not flexible enough to meet current business needs.
- Increasing reliance on IT staff for management.
- Capacity limitations.
