Typical cost of downtime for a small or midsize business when the phones stop working.
What you'll walk away with:
The full inventory
A simple checklist to capture your system, users, sites, all-in monthly cost, age, and any copper lines. Most teams have never seen it in one place, and the picture alone surfaces the first problems.
A straight score, 0 to 30
Rate reliability, how well the system connects to your other tools, and who really owns it. Your total maps to a clear verdict: watch it, plan a move, or you're overdue, each with a defined next step.
Your true cost of staying put
Go past the headline line item to the real number: support hours, repairs, workarounds, and the easy-to-miss fax, alarm, and elevator lines. The figure you need to build the business case.
A clear, defensible next move
Leave with the evidence to justify a change, and a way to spot calling you may already pay for inside Microsoft 365. A planned move runs 45 to 90 days and costs far less than a forced one.
Make the decision on your timeline
Copper retirement and the next outage will make this call for you if you wait. Fifteen minutes now gives you the read on your system, the real cost, and the plan to move calmly instead of reactively.
