netX Cost Savings

When deployed across multiple site environments the savings increase dramatically as organisations have historically over subscribed ISDN connections locally to accommodate peaks and troughs.  When you multiply the oversubscription across a number of different locations they can add up to a significant amount of unnecessary resource.

When we compare the cost of ISDN channels versus SIP channels there is a significant opportunity for cost saving.  ISDN channels typically cost £15 per month and Britannic's netX platform provides SIP channels at a fraction of the cost, only £5 per month.

Traditionally when organisations have wanted to increase capacity they have had to work within the physical constraints of ISDN, these being that they are only available in 30 channel increments per channel with a minimum order of 8 channels per bearer.  This is no longer the case with netX.

With the netX platform you can scale up and scale down the number of channels you require immediately, or alternatively utilise a burst model whereby you only pay for what you use.

PSTN to SIP Migration

We have established a PSTN to SIP migration program whereby as BT Wholesale partners we can migrate existing ISDN and PSTN services over to our management.  We typically deliver savings of around 10 - 15% versus BT's retail pricing.

Throughout this migration process we work with BT and our clients through a process called disclosure of information to obtain complete clarity from BT as to the services that are being provided and the associated costs.  In many cases (especially multisite environments and enterprises that have grown through acquisition) this identifies anomalies and unnecessary services which the customer is paying for.

We are then able to work with the customer to immediately cancel unnecessary services and right size the current PSTN / ISDN infrastructure again to deliver further cost savings.

Alongside this process we are in a position to undertake POC (Proof of Concept) testing for SIP routing through the connection to the netX platform.  Once implemented we are in a position to migrate the existing call routing from the old world (PSTN and ISDN) to SIP (netX), cancelling either all or most of the existing legacy ISDN and PSTN connections and helping to optimise the savings across calls, lines and enhancing the overall management and voice continuity options.
