What is CaaS?

Communications-as-a-Service is an outsourcing model for enterprise communications.  Such communications can include voice over IP, instant messaging, collaboration and video conference applications using fixed and mobile devices.  The CaaS vendor is responsible for all hardware and software management and offers guaranteed Quality of Service. CaaS allows businesses to selectively deploy communications devices and modes on a pay-as-you-go, as-needed basis.*

Why CaaS?

• Eliminates the large capital investment and ongoing overhead for a system whose capacity may often exceed or fall short of current demand.
• Offers flexibility and expandability that small and medium-sized businesses might not otherwise afford
• Allows for the addition of devices, modes or coverage on demand
• Network capacity and feature set can be changed from day to day if necessary
• Functionality keeps pace with demand and resources are not wasted
• No risk of the system becoming obsolete and requiring periodic major upgrades or replacement
