The market has understood for some time now that fulfillment management and automation tools provide a number of significant financial benefits to organizations who wish to deliver the latest collaboration services to their users. With VOSS, however, a far lower total cost of ownership can be achieved because our technology impacts all cost elements over the lifecycle of a collaboration platform:
Implementation savings
In 2010/11, Nemertes Research, one of the most trusted analyst firms in the enterprise UC market, reported, from interviewing and polling over 1,000 North American large enterprises, that the cost of implementing an IP telephony environment (across all vendors) can be reduced from $523 per phone/device to $300 per phone/device, if specialty fulfillment management tools, such as VOSS Solutions, are utilized.
For a 10,000 seat enterprise, this amounts to a saving of over $2m.
Nemertes expects to confirm in their 2011/12 research that the cost of implementing a more extensive enterprise collaboration environment will be significantly greater. The collaboration deployment savings from specialty tools can therefore be expected to surpass the $223 per phone/device for IPT services.
Operational savings
In the same research, Nemertes also discovered that for large enterprises, the ongoing annual operational cost per phone can be reduced from $1,194 to $585, when utilizing specialty fulfillment management tools, such as VOSS Solutions.
For a 10,000 seat enterprise, this amounts to a saving of over $6m in operational expenditure per year.
Again, in their 2011/2012 research, Nemertes expects to confirm that the cost of operating a more extensive enterprise collaboration environment will be significantly greater. The operating savings from specialty tools can therefore be expected to surpass the $609 per phone/device per year, for collaboration services.
Further operational savings, beyond the scope of the Nemertes' research, can be derived from VOSS by way of the management of SIP trunking and the integrated aggregation layer, such as PSTN switches.
Capital Savings
VOSS delivers capital savings by way of higher levels of capital utilization. In the past, shared infrastructure was impossibly difficult to manage manually, resulting in over-spending on dedicated servers. With VOSS Solutions, shared infrastructure can be managed effortlessly, meaning that server utilization rates can be much higher and the number of servers reduced.
VOSS also offers vendor license management tools to more efficiently manage vendor capital costs. As the number of collaboration services rise, so too does the complexity of measuring license bundles, across multiple network elements. VOSS provides a central license administration capability so that each organization knows exactly what service licenses it has consumed from either their vendor, or provider.
