Most organizations still have Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS): traditional, copper analog lines used for phones, faxing, elevator & alarm. POTS have been steadily displaced with other technologies but haven’t exactly vanished, yet their costs continue to rise, in some areas, as high as $1,200+. Most organizations pay their monthly POTS invoices without knowing what they have, how much those services cost, whether they’re paying market rates, or what their options are for migrating to newer technologies as carriers retire their copper-based networks.
Enter vCom! For 22 years, we have been helping businesses effectively manage technologies like POTS, leveraging a comprehensive management strategy we call POTS Management as a Service (PMaaS).
