Innovative Telephone Management Services

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a refreshing alternative to stand alone Telephone Management software and generally represents outstanding value for money.
The basic model comprises of an on-site installation of a data collection device or call buffer capable of reliably transporting call records (or CDR) over the Internet to a host application. Once received by the host the call records are rated (costs are applied) and inserted into a database, the host application make reports available in a number of formats including HTML, PDF, and Excel.
The end user can access a full Telephone Management package via a standard web browser. Generally the application is full featured containing all the facilities you would expect from a stand alone software package, with the advantage of easy access, and an additional service layer added by the Service Provider.
Internet services take advantage of inherent economies of scale, leveraging their investment by servicing many thousands of sites from one location. Some examples of the efficiencies created include making full use of server hardware, software licenses and people skills. These economies impact positively on the price of the service making the cost of ownership much lower that comparable stand alone software packages.
In addition, the initial installation costs for web based Telephone Management services is limited to the cost of providing and installing the call buffer, there is no other hardware to buy or software to install.
There are a variety of call buffers available ranging in price between $200 and $600 and a typical installation cost will be valued at around one hour in labor charges. To make the initial cost even more attractive some Providers offer free data collection software as a substitute for a call buffer.
Web based telephone management services reduce service cost dramatically and at the same time, set a new benchmark in service delivery converting a product based offering into a service where the provider can actually detect potential problems automatically and take corrective action even before the customer is aware there may be a problem.
Telephone Management as a web service gives the a comprehensive view of customer data, enabling the service provider to add more value by offering consulting services to keep the clients telephone environment appropriately provisioned with the right number of lines with the optimal call discount packages offered by the telephone companies.
