Hint: It\u2019s in the millions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a rundown:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. No on-premises hardware<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the onsite PBX to phones for every desk, on-premises systems usually require a large upfront investment. Also, on-premises systems need on-site storage space, specialized IT staff, and come with repair and maintenance costs that add up over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unified communications eliminates this cost. For example, RingCentral is compatible with your existing desk phones and smartphones so there\u2019s no need to buy new equipment. And the fact that you don\u2019t need specialized IT staff to support the system frees up people hours so your technology experts can focus on other things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Increased employee productivity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People hours are one of the most expensive resources a company can squander\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what happens when communications tools aren\u2019t up to the job. To get the job done efficiently and effectively, employees need their communications tools to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When those tools are physically tied to the office, it limits how much workers can get done remotely; and when solutions don\u2019t work, or don\u2019t all work together, it also hinders productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta rc-bottom-cta__landscape\" style=\"background-image: url(\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/rc-bottom-cta-bg.png);\">\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"700\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Uncommon-perks.png\" class=\"responsive-image\" alt=\"7 uncommon ...\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-copy\">\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__text\" style=\"\">\n<h3\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"rc-bottom-cta__title headline-copy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>7 uncommon perks to give your remote and hybrid workers<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__btn-wrapper\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg rc-bottom-cta__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"View the blog\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/7-uncommon-perks-to-give-your-remote-and-hybrid-workers\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-name=\"View the blog\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-element=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-additional-info=\"bottom cta banner\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-no-auto-dl=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseover=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonmouseout=\"this.style.backgroundColor='';this.style.borderColor='';this.style.color='';\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>View the blog<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unified, cloud-based communications unleashes higher productivity because employees can access messaging, video meetings, and phone from anywhere, and on any device. With a UCaaS solution, workers can communicate\u2014and get more done\u2014from any location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Less downtime<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-premises hardware puts you at the mercy of your machinery. That\u2019s fine when everything is working as expected\u2014but it can be costly when a hardware issue or localized event such as a power failure or weather takes you offline. In such cases, the time required to repair the problem could result in an outage that lasts hours or days, with prolonged business disruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when you\u2019re working in the cloud, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/technology\/reliability.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reliability<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is in the hands of your provider\u2014and working with the right solution can help to assure that vital tools are always online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A trusted cloud communications provider employs multiple layers of failover that prevent downtime events. For example, one of the tactics we have in place to <\/span><b>guarantee reliability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at RingCentral is maintaining geographically redundant data centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that if an issue occurs at one of our sites, we instantly and automatically reroute to another data center, with no impact on service. This is just one of the ways we are able to offer a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/in-a-work-from-home-world-service-level-agreements-for-cloud-communications-take-center-stage\/\"><b>99.999% SLA<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014the gold standard for reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Better employee retention<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As remote and hybrid work frees companies to hire the best talent from anywhere\u2014and gives good workers greater choice in employers\u2014employee satisfaction has never been more important. Workers want jobs that are fulfilling with managers and companies that support them to do their best work. And this includes giving them the right tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unified communications deliver a high degree of mobility. They make it easy to work from anywhere while eliminating frustrations like having to use multiple apps or reduced access to resources and information away from the office. Whether it\u2019s taking a call from home or participating in a video meeting from the airport, unified communications makes working from anywhere simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are cost savings that stem from delivering effortless communications. Happy employees mean less turnover. This in turn shrinks the costs associated with replacing and retraining vital workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>5. Scalable: Only pay for what you need<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way on-premises systems can bloat your budget? Because capacity is fixed, companies usually must provision for their full user load, regardless of their actual needs at a given time. For example, if you have a high number of seasonal workers or a hybrid workforce, you still need to provision (and pay) for all possible users, even when they\u2019re not using the system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unified communications, on the other hand, is flexible and scalable. Rather than deciding at the outset how much you need, you can scale up or down on an as-needed basis. Better yet, provisioning is all managed through a single, self-serve admin portal, so any changes are simple to implement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Delivering real ROI\u2014for companies of all shapes and sizes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, these are just general ideas.
