FAQs

What is the difference between Operator Console and other legacy switchboards?

minus

Many switchboards are built on decades-old, on-premises technology with multiple legacy codebases, with slower innovation, more technical debt, and higher maintenance burden for your team. PerfectServe is a modern, cloud-native platform built for today's healthcare communication needs. Its Operator Console has unified search, real-time call monitoring, and two-way messaging for your call center, and uses single-click activation for critical alerts integrated with your EHR and clinical systems.

Do legacy switchboards have a cloud offering?

plus

No. Many older models have notable outages and a failed cloud roadmap. PerfectServe's cloud-based platform means you can get rid of hardware and allow agents to work remotely. Everyone is on a single instance, always on the latest version, with no costly upgrade cycles. Also, the quarterly releases and dedicated support team mean you're never left waiting on a vendor that isn't engaged.

How does PerfectServe handle integrations compared to other legacy switchboards?

plus

PerfectServe offers 200+ out-of-the-box integrations for your CRM, patient flow systems, clinical directories, EHR, PBX, paging networks, scheduling systems, and more. It connects to your existing tech, with no need for expensive hardware. Legacy platforms require expensive middleware and costly PBX upgrades to achieve comparable connectivity, and in many cases, offer virtually no integration support.

How is PerfectServe's customer support different?

plus

PerfectServe provides 24/7/365 white glove support. By comparison, support is often slow and distant with older providers, as they lack the resources to offer the level of support we do.

We've used a legacy switchboard for years. Is switching worth it?

plus

Yes, other long-term customers of legacy platforms have made the move successfully. Munson Healthcare recently went live with PerfectServe after using an older provider. PerfectServe can even replicate the keyboard shortcuts of that provider in our interface at no extra cost, minimizing retraining friction.

How does pricing compare?

plus

Legacy models involve costly hardware purchases, 3–4 year major upgrade cycles, and price increases at renewal. PerfectServe offers transparent, all-inclusive pricing, plus features, enhancements, and upgrades are all included. No custom hardware required.

It’s time for a cloud platform that’s ready for how care teams really work.
