NEC's Exit from On-Premise Market

After NEC announced its exit from the on-premise market outside Japan, many customers are left in uncertainty. We have created a poll to understand why you believe this happened.

Certainly the trend is to move to the cloud, but at the same time, a lot of those on-premises customers, and not necessarily industry-specific, will want to continue to keep their PBX on the premises.  I think the companies that can offer those end users both an on-prem and cloud solution make the most sense, enabling them to move to a different on-prem PBX today, that can eventually transition to the cloud if they choose to go that route in the future.

I've successfully overseen three NEC deployments over the past decade and it is clear to me that times are changing and I need to move forward with a hybrid solution, one of my customers has just sold their hotel, and the new owners want Fanvil Wifi desktop phones and they also want to replace their PMS system with shiji which vodia support.

In view of the fact that international tensions are currently becoming more and more acute, and with them concerns about security on the Internet, installation "on site" will certainly remain an increasingly important issue. This is definitely a very important point for many customers, who feel safer with it.

+1 to that. We recently had an installation where the whole network was isolated and the few connections to the Internet were limited by kB/s (e.g. for the license server or redirection service for the VoIP phones). It works well.
