Many companies are still running their phone systems on outdated Mitel servers. While Mitel has been a reliable name in business communications for years, older on-premise VoIP servers come with growing risks: limited support, security vulnerabilities, lack of modern features, and higher maintenance costs.


In today’s hybrid and cloud-first business environment, outdated phone systems can slow productivity, frustrate employees, and create security gaps. If your company is still relying on a legacy Mitel system, now is the time to consider modern alternatives—and we can help.

The Risks of Sticking with an Outdated Mitel System


  1. End-of-Support Issues

    Older Mitel hardware and software eventually reach end-of-life, meaning no more updates, patches, or vendor support. This leaves businesses exposed to outages and compliance risks.

  2. Limited Features

    Legacy systems often lack modern VoIP capabilities such as mobile integration, video conferencing, and advanced call routing. This puts companies at a disadvantage compared to competitors leveraging unified communications platforms.

  3. High Maintenance Costs

    Maintaining aging Mitel servers requires specialized technicians and often costly hardware replacements. As parts become scarce, expenses rise further.

  4. Security Concerns

    Without regular updates, outdated phone systems can be targets for cyberattacks, eavesdropping, or toll fraud.
