VoIP Evolution or Revolution? |
In today’s business environment work is no longer defined by a location; work is something
you do, not a place you go. The pace of work is faster, and the price of falling behind more
costly. Business agility—the ability to react quickly to both opportunities and road blocks—is
becoming just as important as sound business models and product differentiation.
To improve business agility, companies require their employees to be mobile, responsive,
and connected. They are expected to meet with customers, partners, and each other at
any time, with all the available resources at their disposal.
Many companies took their first step towards business agility with the deployment of an IP
data network, which dramatically improved the flow of information. Even with this advance
however, businesses tended to remain stationary because once away from the network,
accessibility and communication were ineffective.
With the advent of IP communications once
unrealistic expectations of business agility and mobility are now reality. With an intelligent,
adaptive communications infrastructure your employees can go almost anywhere and remain
connected to the people, tools, and knowledge that provide the foundation of your business.
Think of IP communications as a new application running on your network. Although it
performs all of the functions of the traditional phone systems, it is no longer location based
and through the flexibility of IP, can provide new applications that take full
advantage of the power of a packet-based network.
