A private telephone system approach can’t begin to compare to a VoIP model
in terms of savings. Your guide should be “How much telephone calling traffic,
across all five regulated PSTN charging categories, do you or your company
have each month?” If your monthly call volume, which is charged by the
minute for each line across each charging category, is substantial, a private
telephone system model reduces your recurring charges because you use
fewer lines. However, VoIP can reduce your recurring charges even further, as
you’ll discover in the next chapter.
Following is a list of cost benefits and features that your company can gain by
converting to its own telephone system.
1. Greatly reduced number of access lines
2. Reduced recurring carrier charges
3. Reduced access line fees and surcharges
4. Reduced access line taxes
5. Elimination of call feature charges
6. Greater managerial control of telephony systems and services
There is no doubt that moving to a private telephone system saves a company
significant money when compared to a POTS access-line model. But
keep in mind that all of these cost benefits are based on reductions in the
number of lines required or lower costs for features priced on a per-line
basis. These benefits are also realized with any VoIP model.
The conventional telephony models described in this section, KTS and PBX,
don’t remove the problems associated with telephone costs. They only minimize
them by adjusting the number of access lines or calling features you
need to pay for. A VoIP system, on the other hand, represents a fundamental
change in telephony, and thereby offers huge cost savings, feature enhancements,
and productivity improvements. VoIP eliminates the need for most access lines.
(A few POTS lines are always required in any building.)
VoIP eliminates also the noncarrier costs (that is, your maintenance costs),
line fees, and government surcharges that come with those lines.
And VoIP runs on the computer network, which is usually already set up.
