Cloud, On-Premises, or Hybrid
Unlike other feature-rich reporting services that require you to choose between an on-premises or cloud-based solution, iCS Report Premier can be accessed as a hybrid, on-premises, or cloud service as part of the iCall Suite. It works perfectly alongside some of the other services in the suite, including iCS Insight, and iCS Contact to deliver a more holistic approach to unified communications and collaboration.
