As the requirements for business success continue to evolve, network and IT infrastructures
must evolve with them. Greater security, mission-critical application availability,
simplification, and increased transparency of the IT infrastructure are challenges
that organizations must meet to remain competitive, while continuing to provide
new products and services to their customers. As a result, organizations  require integrated, resilient, and adaptable infrastructures, which enable them
to implement a new approach to how cost structures and business processes will
reduce risk, guide business performance, and ensure maximum return on investment
(ROI). While traditional areas of concern—such as productivity and customer satisfaction—are
more important than ever, newer challenges such as the expansion of the virtual
workforce, globalization, growth of communications traffic, and the heightened
need for business agility must be factored in as well. Organizations are looking
at technology solutions that can help give them an edge over the competition.
These solutions should facilitate effective collaboration by breaking down distance
barriers and overcoming traditional limitations with new ways to share information
and enhance discussions, ultimately leading to better decisions and business growth.
Putting IP Communications solutions—including voice, video, and conferencing
applications —on the mission-critical data network is the most cost-effective
and efficient way to accomplish these objectives. Using the converged network
in this way has resulted in a paradigm shift that eases the logistical barriers
of time zones and geographic distances between companies and their branch offices,
teleworkers, customers, partners, and vendors. It simplifies the process of connecting
with customers, while enhancing the value of interactions and increasing personalization
with rich media and video. By providing organizations with applications that help
ensure a more sophisticated and streamlined communications experience, IP Communications
solutions provide timely access to information and resources. This not only results
in more efficient interactions at the individual level, but also facilitates improved
productivity that progresses over time as value-added applications and services
are deployed throughout the extended enterprise. Truly enterprise-wide access
to information is now available, as workers in all locations—in the headquarters,
in the branch office, at home, or on the road—can get the services they need,
whenever they are needed. IP Communications solutions enable untethered, “anytime,
anywhere” communications capabilities, giving employees an unprecedented level
of mobility. Applications are now both voice- and data-aware, and enable integration
with video solutions as well as with other desktop and business applications,
including customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning
(ERP), workforce management (WFM), messaging, and scheduling. And, because they
are built upon a resilient, secure, reliable IP network, IP Communications solutions
give organizations a way to respond quickly to new opportunities and deal with
business disruptions.
