In times of digitalization and cloud-first strategies, the future of corporate communication seems to be mapped out: everything in the cloud. However, a closer look reveals that on-premise telecommunications solutions – contrary to the trend – are not only a sensible alternative, but in many cases even the superior choice. On-premise systems offer decisive advantages, especially for security-conscious, medium-sized companies with clear requirements in terms of stability, adaptability and control. A prime example of this is the modular solution from Clarity AG: the Clarity Communication Center.

1. Control and security: your data stays in-house
In a time of increasing cyber threats and stricter data protection regulations (such as the GDPR), it is crucial to retain full control over sensitive communication data. With an on-premise telephony solution, all data and processes remain within the company – without detours via external cloud services, where data processing often takes place in third countries. Companies with high compliance requirements or in security-critical industries particularly benefit here.

2. Maximum customizability for individual requirements
No two companies are the same. So why should a standard cloud solution be enough? With on-premise systems, the telecommunications infrastructure can be adapted precisely to company-specific processes and IT architectures. With its highly flexible solution including business and contact center telephony, Clarity AG offers a truly unique selling point: scalable, modular and, if desired, deeply integrated into existing systems via the Clarity Connector – for example in CRM environments.

3. Reliability without internet dependency
Cloud-based systems are always dependent on stable internet connections. In regions with weak network coverage or temporary internet outages, this poses a significant risk to a company’s ability to communicate. An on-premise system runs independently and stably; internal calls remain possible even without an internet connection. The response speed and connection quality – for example when establishing a call – is also noticeably higher due to local operation.

4. Economic efficiency in the long term
It is often argued that the cloud is cheaper. But this impression is misleading. Although the entry costs for cloud solutions are lower, monthly license and usage fees quickly add up to a considerable block of costs. An on-premise solution, on the other hand, usually pays for itself after 3-4 years and is significantly more cost-efficient with typical deployment periods of 7-10 years. This is a clear advantage for medium-sized companies that plan for the long term.

5. Independence from third-party providers
Having your own on-premise system eliminates dependencies on cloud providers. You decide when updates are installed, which functions are active – and above all: what happens to your data. Updates in the cloud can remove functions or bring unexpected changes. With Clarity, however, customers retain control – including the choice of software version.

6. Made in Germany: quality, support and proximity
Clarity AG combines technical excellence with practical customer proximity. From project planning to operation, customers are supported by dedicated system experts who not only know the technology, but also the specific situation on site. This not only enables tailor-made solutions, but also support worthy of the name: fast, competent and direct from the manufacturer – Made in Germany.

Cloud solutions may have their justification – for young start-ups or highly distributed organizations with lean IT, for example. However, for companies with clear requirements in terms of security, control, stability and cost-effectiveness, an on-premise telephony solution is still the better choice. Those who rely on the Clarity AG solution benefit from technical sovereignty, economic rationality and a service that goes far beyond the usual.

When the temperatures rise again, our body quickly starts to sweat – in the truest sense of the word. On warm days, we not only lose fluids through sweat, but also important minerals. This makes it all the more important to drink enough water regularly.

Just 1-2% fluid loss can have a negative impact on our performance – so it’s better to drink small amounts regularly before you get thirsty. The ideal amount is 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water per day, depending on activity and weather.

Unfortunately, tap water is not always as clean as it seems. It often contains residues of chemicals, medicines, heavy metals or microplastics – and conventional filters quickly reach their limits. The Health Rise Pure Water Basic offers a clever and powerful entry into the world of reverse osmosis water filters – for fresh, pure drinking water.

With its high-performance filter system, the Pure Water Basic removes up to 99.9% of common pollutants from tap water. Whether at home, in the office or in the store – this all-rounder provides you with clean water at all times. And thanks to the integrated heating function, hot water can be tapped for tea, coffee or baby food in no time at all.

Together with our health partner Health Rise, we are giving away a modern Health Rise Pure Water Basic water filter worth EUR 329 for your daily portion of contaminant-free water.

How different could life be if the right questions were asked – of others, but also of oneself? Brigitte Dyck specializes in turning people into leaders. In her book “30 questions that enrich your life”, she has compiled the essence of her experiences that point the way to greater clarity, growth and extraordinary success.

Nowadays, people often talk more than they ask questions. Yet the question is one of the most powerful instruments of communication and, when asked in a targeted manner, can help us to make enormous progress. “It’s not the complex questions that get us further – it’s the simple, obvious questions that we so often overlook,” says Brigitte Dyck. If you ask the right questions and ask them well, you reduce uncertainty and ensure greater clarity in our interactions.

In her book “30 questions that enrich your life”, the author asks the questions that give leadership and private life more focus and depth. After all, managers are also human beings and, as human beings, they take the lead in their own lives. The book combines exciting real-life short stories from leadership and private life with goal-oriented questions, a short and scientifically sound language background and application-oriented sentences that can be used immediately and always guarantee success for change.

Brigitte Dyck’s book is a packed toolbox of questions with easy-to-implement quick wins and direct implementation success for a relaxed everyday life, both professionally and privately.
