A private telephone system approach can’t begin to compare to a VoIP modelin terms of savings. Your guide should be “How much telephone calling traffic,across all five regulated PSTN charging categories, do you or your companyhave each month?” If your monthly call volume, which is charged by theminute for each line across each charging category, is substantial, a privatetelephone system model reduces your recurring charges because you usefewer lines. However, VoIP can reduce your recurring charges even further, asyou’ll discover in the next chapter.Following is a list of cost benefits and features that your company can gain byconverting to its own telephone system.1. Greatly reduced number of access lines2. Reduced recurring carrier charges3. Reduced access line fees and surcharges4. Reduced access line taxes5. Elimination of call feature charges6. Greater managerial control of telephony systems and servicesThere is no doubt that moving to a private telephone system saves a companysignificant money when compared to a POTS access-line model. Butkeep in mind that all of these cost benefits are based on reductions in thenumber of lines required or lower costs for features priced on a per-linebasis. These benefits are also realized with any VoIP model.The conventional telephony models described in this section, KTS and PBX,don’t remove the problems associated with telephone costs. They only minimizethem by adjusting the number of access lines or calling features youneed to pay for. A VoIP system, on the other hand, represents a fundamentalchange in telephony, and thereby offers huge cost savings, feature enhancements,and productivity improvements. VoIP eliminates the need for most access lines.(A few POTS lines are always required in any building.)VoIP eliminates also the noncarrier costs (that is, your maintenance costs),line fees, and government surcharges that come with those lines.And VoIP runs on the computer network, which is usually already set up.
