The Business Need for IP Telephony

The decision to deploy IP telephony has long since moved away from a discussion about technical risk as the technology is now very mature, and is firmly routed in economic and commercial benefits. In general terms, any greenfield site should be fitted with an IP telephony solution rather than a traditional PBX, and IP telephony should also be installed where the existing infrastructure is obsolete and needs to be replaced. The difficulty lies in justifying the replacement of a perfectly working traditional PBX solution with an IP telephony solution, and it is here that a carefully designed upgrade path can assist - allowing the customer to begin to invest in the new technology while continuing to utilise the existing equipment until this needs to be replaced. This option will deliver the optimum commercial benefit.

The Solution 

Today’s IP telephony solutions cover a range of applications beyond simple “dialtone” on the desk. The ability to integrate voicemail, “presence”, fax to email and advanced call centre features such as call routing are present in many basic IP telephony solutions. The benefits also occur in not having to double up on WAN links or cabling infrastructure in buildings, scalability and ease of management.
