Why Business Phone Solutions & IT Outsourcing Have Come Together

As an IT outsourcing company, we see and hear the pro’s and con’s to just about every up and coming technology and trend. Of them all, the most common “con” among our customers is their frustration with their current business phone solution. Internet issues, latency issues, performance issues, choppy voice calls…etc. We have YET to encounter a single customer satisfied with the “lease everything through us, let us host the services and we’ll save you a ton of money” “Solution.” So, we did some homework and found that the cost of hardware has drastically dropped since 2014 and that by implementing a new solution with your own hardware it is more cost effective and beneficial over the course of 1-3 years. CCSI wanted to provide our customers with a solution to their business phone frustrations but it had to be solid. So, we did a test-trial on ourselves, our pick, Sangoma Technologies.
