Ready To Make The Switch? Ip Telephony Is The Way Of Future.

IP telephony is the way of the future, according to Numerates Research, for a number of reasons.

First, vendors are no longer investing research and development dollars into legacy TDM equipment.

Second, IP telephony has simplified communications for numerous organizations and their positive results have been shouted from rooftops (or at least highlighted in well-respected trade journals). With TDM, theres no interoperability, transferring between offices is not an option, and employees are often on different voice mail systems so forwarding messages is not possible. With IP telephony, companies instantly improves productivity with robust feature sets such as built-in conference call capabilities, four-digit dialing across locations, call center capabilities, and integration with desktop applications. Because of robust features like the ability for an employee to log in from any phone, employees are not tied to a desk.Office communications can be enhanced by multimedia applications, to improve staff productivity, make collaboration more effective and support advanced contact centre functionality. functionality.

A Network World special report suggests that organizations should consider transitioning to IP telephony when:
They are using IP Centrex lines that will support phone and Internet service on the same network. Moving to IP telephony solutions will immediately reduce costs because these lines are so expensive.

The organization is moving to a new building. Since the wiring does not yet exist, its simple to create a consolidated data and voice network.

They are coming to the end of a PBX lease agreement or the current phone system is outdated, obsolete or unsupported by a vendor or service provider.

The company has offices in different area codes and employees dial a lot of long-distance numbers. The reduction in toll charges will be immediate and significant.
