Why businesses NEED to replace legacy telephony

The way businesses communicate is evolving rapidly, and if you’re still using legacy telephony systems, now is the time to act. Originally planned for 2025, the BT Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off has been extended to January 2027. This means traditional copper landlines, ISDN, and analogue systems will soon become obsolete, prompting businesses to seek modern communication solutions.
Upgrading your telephony now not only ensures you're ready for the switch-off in 2027 but also helps you keep pace with the changing way customers expect to communicate. More than ever, customers demand fast, flexible, and seamless interactions across multiple channels; email, chat, social media, and voice. Legacy systems simply can’t deliver this level of responsiveness and integration.
