TELEPHONY SOLUTIONS
Providing a converged network with opportunities for application deployment
A converged network provides a platform for deploying new solutions to enhance the overall performance of an organisation. IP Telephony is one of those solutions. Using the data infrastructure to make and receive calls, IP Telephony provides a level of integration between all communications mediums bringing many cost benefits and productivity gains to an organisation:
Cost benefits:
- Free calls between sites
- Reduced cost of administration, equipment, maintenance
and support - Simplified deployment of new applications
- Simplified management of remote sites from any location
- Greater and faster return on investment made in wide
area network links
Productivity gains:
- Focused management of one network
- Access to full system functionality from any location
- Increased flexibility of individuals
- Collaboration between sites
- Centralised management of a single system across
multiple sites
IP Telephony should be an immediate consideration in the following circumstances:
- Stock transfer
- Moving to a new premises
- Obsolescence/end of lease of the PBX
- Need to increase efficiency and reduce costs
Many organisations will already have a PBX and some will have a few PBX’s. These can be gradually replaced as capacity and functional requirements dictate. PBX’s which are not due to expire for a number of years can be integrated into the IP network, although in some cases, the cost savings associated with IP Telephony can make it feasible for the PBX’s to be replaced.
