Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a major consideration for organizations evaluating the pros and cons of cloud-based contact center infrastructure deployment versus an on-premise solution. Over the past five years, costs and quality factors have changed significantly. While legacy on-premise vendors have experienced some market pressure that resulted in a drop in pricing, the costs of cloud-based infrastructure solutions have fallen even further.
This Ovum research report addresses what IT decision-makers need to know to make the right decision on a new infrastructure deployment. Learn about the following factors and why they matter to your contact center infrastructure.
• How the pricing and business models of cloud and premise-based technology vendors have changed since 2013. • How to build a road map of your internal technology expectations over the next 3-5 years to address the changing needs and behavior of today's customers. • How possible product bundles and features can affect cost and satisfaction between on-premises cloud solutions. • What factors matter as much as cost, including security, industry expertise, geographic reach, reliability and vendor relationships. • Why the wisest approach to deployment probably isn't one size fits all, and how options, such as Interactive Intelligence PureCloud, have shifted to reflect that truth.
