Most of us agree that integrating our voice, data, video and mobile communications across a single network is a fundamental element for businesses who are looking to streamline their technology infrastructure. By adopting a single network approach employees also have the added benefit of 24/7 accessibility whereever they are or preferred technology device is, ensuring that companies can adjust to demands quickly and efficiently.

The Reality

On paper, the idea of a unified network sounds like communications ‘nirvana’ but in reality it is a very different prospect. In an ideal world you would want a seamless integrated communications network that was provided by a single vendor, providing your voice, data and security solutions all under the one umbrella with outmost ease. With most cases though, organisation’s data and voice infrastructure has evolved over a period of time and is built up from a wide range of products supplied by a variety of vendors. This is where organisations need to ensure that they have the technical skills and resource in place before they start to implement a converged network solution.
