Benefits of the Telecommunications as a Service Model


Michael Marlowe is the vice president of new markets and director of strategy with ChaseTek in Columbus, OH. Under the leadership of Michael Marlowe and fellow members of the management team, ChaseTek delivers Telecom as a Service (TaaS) to clients in Columbus, OH, and beyond.

In the era of cloud computing, companies from a wide variety of sectors have begun adopting the service model established by the Software as a Service (SaaS) movement. Utilizing this model, market research on available services is brought to the end user along with the ability to choose best options. End user companies also benefit from the TaaS model by using different products based on the quality of service provided. All company data is gathered and tracked in a centralized repository, reducing any data confusion, and insuring company information is current and easily accessible. Companies that are successful in applying a cloud-driven strategy to higher-level enterprise services can gain an early advantage.

Another benefit of the TaaS model centers on economies of scale, particularly when it comes to centralization of software and server assets. By using cloud computing for content delivery and feature hosting, telecommunications companies can take advantage of existing infrastructure to achieve wider profit margins. Considering that telecommunications operators have historically accepted low returns on invested capital, the ability to accept lower ROI on projects may give them more leverage to establish the technological infrastructure necessary to achieve economies of scale benefits.
