In the 1984 comedy sci-fi film, “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension,” the main character Buckaroo Banzai says, “No matter where you go, there you are.”
And that’s precisely where businesses find themselves today. No matter where they go, hybrid and remote employees are tethered to the cloud. And there they find themselves – connected and working.
COVID put tremendous pressure on companies to redeploy their operations to work-from-home scenarios. There’s no going back.
So how do companies manage their connectivity infrastructure as they scale up or down in this new post-pandemic reality?
How do they do that at the lowest cost in countries and jurisdictions where it’s difficult to get telephony coverage?
Well, the truth is, it’s really complicated.
“It’s a legacy of technical woe,” said Dominic McDonald, Founder & CEO of ULAP Networks. “On-premise hardware like PBX’s and session border controllers don’t easily scale. Traditional MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks just aren’t designed for hybrid or work-from-anywhere environments. And VPN WANs are devilishly complex. Worse, all that means big money; it’s a drain of expensive IT resources,” he explained.
There’s Always a Silver Lining
Managing and scaling legacy networks is doable. But it requires specialized skills not readily available in-house.
“It puts a huge demand on time and effort. Network and software applications constantly change, which requires constant retraining of an in-house team,” McDonald explained.
ULAP’s SBCaaS, SD-WAN, and VoIP solutions provide secure connectivity infrastructure to help businesses solve these complex connectivity challenges and improve productivity.
“This is the background technology that companies only begin to think about after they’ve selected a UC or CX vendor,” McDonald said. “Suddenly, they realize that they have on-premise legacy architecture, and to make it work with the cloud ends up costing them a lot. That’s why I say that before a company decides on a UC vendor, they need to contact us. We can save them up to 30 percent on maintenance,” he confirmed.
ULAP Solutions Defined
ULAP SBCaaS (Session Border Controller as a Service) is a cloud-based solution that helps businesses to connect and manage their voice and video communications over the internet. It provides a secure and reliable connection between on-premises infrastructure and cloud-based communication systems. It also helps businesses to reduce communication costs while providing a better service.
ULAP’s SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solutions help businesses to improve their network connectivity and performance. This technology optimizes network routing across multiple connections, such as broadband, MPLS, and LTE. It’s faster and more reliable connectivity for cloud-based applications and services. With SD-WAN, businesses ensure their critical applications and services are always available, even during network congestion or outages.
ULAP’s VoIP solutions provide businesses with an efficient and cost-effective way to manage voice communications. All the features of VoIP are provided: SIP forking, call forwarding, call recording, video conferencing, and more.
McDonald explained, “One of the critical benefits of ULAP’s managed services is that we simplify complex network infrastructures into a single platform. We save time and money and improve operational efficiency. It’s a circle of benefits.”
Choice, flexibility and tangible cost reductions are compelling reasons to consider ULAP.
