The ISDN standard was set in the late 1980’s, during this time the World Wide Web was just being invented, mobile telephony was just finding its feet – and still analogue and urgent business documents were sent by fax!
In many ways, still using ISDN is like driving a sports car:
- The car represented cutting edge technology when it was launched
- These days it’s not as efficient as modern counterparts
- Reliability is a worry and issues can take days to resolve
- Although a classic, sticking with the old model may no longer meet your basic needs
At this point, you’d consider upgrading to a newer model that is fit for purpose.
Here’s why you should do the same if your business is still relying on ISDN.
- ISDN lacks the agility needed to meet the needs of today’s fast-moving consumers
- The management of multiple offices can be time consuming, maintaining consistency of service across offices is often difficult
- Scalability is slow and often expensive
- It can’t be combined with modern technologies like Ethernet to enhance voice services
- Disaster recovery is slow
