With today’s phone systems being software driven, keeping them up to date can be an easy task that provides major benefits. Software updates are typically simple, inexpensive, and advantageous. From bug fixes and minor updates to new product support and security patches, keeping your system up to date can not only enrich your phone system experience but protect you against new security threats.

What could a software update include?

• A fix to a glitch that various users have come across and reported
• Necessary software to support newly released products
• New features
• Security patches that keep your system protected from toll fraud and hackers

How much do software updates cost?

If you have purchased software assurance, all software upgrades are free while you are covered under the program. The only costs you would incur are labor and hardware, for the rare time hardware is required for the update.
