MESSAGEmanager - rent or buy
The decision to deploy the cloud based solution MESSAGEmanager on Demand or MESSAGEmanager, the customer premises based solution, is influenced by many factors - volume of faxes sent, budget, financing preferences, staff/skill resources. The decision to rent or buy is often subjective and taken only after consideration of many diverse and non technical issues some of which are listed below along with possible options. Because both solutions offer the same FAX functionality the choice of which solution to use can be made based wholly on the needs of the business. |
