PSTN Switch Off: UK Businesses' Hidden Opportunity for Digital Transformation
The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch off is underway, bringing significant changes that many UK businesses underestimate. This transition requires a comprehensive digital transformation, affecting not just voice communication but entire communication ecosystems and infrastructure.
Common misconceptions surround the scope of PSTN migration, with businesses often underestimating its impact on IT networks, security, and building systems like alarms and access control. However, forward-thinking businesses are embracing this change, recognizing it as a strategic opportunity to transform their communication infrastructure.
Mike Greenwood, Business Development Manager, and Ryan Zoehner, CEO of Algo, discussed the PSTN switch off with Kristian McCann on UC Today. They highlighted practical strategies for migration, including balancing immediate costs with future-proofing, favouring open standards to prevent vendor lock-in, and minimizing long-term expenses. These businesses are ahead of schedule, thanks to in-house expertise, holistic approaches, and embracing emerging technologies like AI.
The PSTN migration is more than a compliance deadline; it's a chance for UK businesses to future-proof their communication infrastructure. By understanding and addressing the full scope of this transition, businesses can turn this challenge into a strategic advantage.
