While the merits of cloud solutions are widely understood, many of today’s enterprise businesses continue to power client communications with old tried-and-true legacy systems, such as Cisco or Avaya, which have proven to deliver exceptional security and service quality, while facilitating compliance with the latest regulatory standards.

And this has left many wondering—must businesses give up the security benefits of the “old” to gain the flexibility benefits of the “new”?
