For today’s small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the power of converged networks can be harnessed to make businesses more adaptable, flexible and ultimately more competitive in the face of unrelenting market and economic pressures.
Aside from the technological benefits of running voice and data services on one network rather than two, convergence has two fundamental assets that appeal to all companies’ executives: cost reduction and revenue growth.
Yet convergence isn’t plug-and-play; it can’t just be installed. SMEs need to take a strategic approach to realise the benefits of convergence by knowing exactly what the ramifications are of deploying converged networks across the business as a whole, so that they can understand and successfully surmount any
challenges that the deployment presents.
