Two implementation models, one transparent decision based on data, operational responsibility and total cost.
Your servers or dedicated project infrastructure. We size the system, deploy its components and agree who operates each layer.
Telephony, AI or contact-center capabilities through provider APIs. We implement the workflow and integrate your systems.
Local orchestration with cloud speech or language models is a hybrid, not fully local processing. Zero retention still involves external processing. A region setting does not automatically cover every component. PSTN calls require a carrier in both models.
Own hardwareOn agreed servers when every component is local. Carriers and external integrations remain part of the data map.
International APIsAt telephony, speech model and other connected providers. Review the complete processing chain.
Own hardwareYou define access and network boundaries; the operating team owns configuration, patches and verification.
International APIsShared responsibility: the provider protects its platform; the project controls permissions, keys and integration logic.
Own hardwareAssessment, equipment, licences where needed, deployment, redundancy and integration.
International APIsAssessment, integration, platform configuration, tests and any plan minimum commitments.
Own hardwareHosting or power, connectivity, support, GPUs, storage, updates and hardware replacement.
International APIsMinutes, numbers, models, recordings, feature licences, data transfer and integration support.
Own hardwareReserve capacity is sized for peak concurrency; expansion may need procurement.
International APIsScaling is subject to quotas, call initiation limits and provider capacity.
Own hardwareRedundant nodes, power, links, backups and recovery tests. A single owned server is not a resilient system.
International APIsCheck available regions, API outage behaviour, retry queues and backup routing feasibility.
Own hardwareHandover of configurations, agreed source code, data and runbooks, subject to licensing constraints.
International APIsCheck exports, number portability, recording access periods and the cost of replacing APIs in advance.
Both estimates use the same call volumes and success criteria.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) = setup + operating costs + change and exit costs.
Neither model is automatically cheaper or safer. A proposal follows assessment and a pilot; there are no universal per-minute prices.
Strict restrictions on external processing, existing infrastructure or a team ready to own operations. Language quality and capacity still require a pilot.
External processing is acceptable, managed features fit the task and demand varies. Check provider dependencies and recurring cost at expected scale.
