The first is <\/span><b>cost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Businesses have to contend with high per user costs, on top of dedicated office space and trained IT personnel to manage the systems. Add on the cost of international calls just to reach other locations, and the numbers can be astronomical\u2014especially for multinational companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second is <\/span><b>communication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The proprietary nature of on-premises PBX means that different locations can\u2019t seamlessly communicate with each other.
