IP
TELEPHONY Maintaining separate voice, video,
and data networks are not only expensive…it limits your
ability to deliver cost-effective communications and
world-class customer service. That's why many enterprises
seeking a competitive advantage are implementing IP
Telephony (IPT) solutions; IPT is based on convergent
network technology, in which voice, video, and data
flow over the same IP network and share the same infrastructure
and administrative resources.
IPT has many benefits, including lower equipment and
maintenance costs, rapid ROI, and improved productivity
and communication capabilities. Recent independent research
studies commissioned by Cisco Systems and conducted
by Sage research and the Yankee Group found that significant
IPT productivity gains are already being realized by
both IT and non-IT staff in small, mid-sized and large
companies. In fact, the vast majority of the surveyed
cited cost savings (75%) and productivity (60%) as primary
drivers for their IPT deployment. The end result is
clear-66% found that IPT gives them a strong competitive
advantage.
Our close working relationship with Cisco keeps ESC
at the forefront of IP telephony technology and allows
us to provide totally integrated solutions.
