Ovum Report: The Total Cost of Ownership of Cloud and Premise-Based Contact Center Platforms
A Look at the Five-Year Cost Comparisons for Technology Infrastructure Deployment
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a major consideration for organizations evaluating the pros and cons of cloud-based contact center infrastructure deployment versus an on-premise solution. According to this report, for a 50-seat contact center the average cloud platform costs approximately $150,000 less in year 1 and up to $300,000 by year 5.
This Ovum report also discusses:
- Which deployment model is right for small, midsize, and large contact centers, based on low, medium or high technology footprint requirements
- How cloud-based systems are much quicker to deploy and can scale up or down in response to changing business conditions
- How cloud drives a quicker innovation cycle
