Buy from TD SYNNEX
On-premise phone systems forwarding to mobiles or having to manage multiple cloud providers are costly, complicated and inefficient. You can help these businesses transform their hybrid working environments by simplifying their communications with an all-in-one solution.
Here’s a compelling opportunity for you as a TD SYNNEX partner. With the 2025 PSTN switch-off coming soon, some businesses are going to be scrambling to find an ideal replacement solution for their voice communications.
A recent estimate reckons 42% of small-to-medium sized UK businesses still use analogue phone lines. This means that roughly 2.4 million UK SMBs are yet to move to SIP-based telephony. It’s also thought that these businesses will save an average 42% on their current phone bills having made the switch. This is where you come in.
It’ll solve all their looming problems around the PSTN switch-off, coping efficiently with the increased demands of collaborative working and, frankly, improve employees’ wellbeing – resulting in a happier, more productive workforce.
