ASK THE SOLUTIONS EXPERTS

Is your business considering a managed VoIP Solution? If so, what can you expect and how can we help?

General industry analyst research indicates that a small percentage of deployed IP PBXs in the U.S. today are managed. Do these estimates suggest an adoption cycle where IP PBX deployments are being implemented by the "early adopters" of this technology? And, does it indicate that mass market adoption won't occur until more companies are comfortable with the technology and explore the full benefits of its capabilities? We think so. And we understand, because we've lived through being an early adopter of VoIP for our own internal use, and have some insights to share.

In 2002, Global Crossing embarked on a plan to take advantage of the growing network trend toward IP convergence. The benefits of convergence are clear – improved productivity, reduced costs, expanded e-business capabilities and a more mobile workforce. The challenges inherent in the implementation of a converged IP network – are complex. But today more than 65 percent of our user base and more than 90 of our locations use VoIP daily. And in the past three months, we've seen several large multi-national companies shift their position from "let's build a new VoIP platform" to "let's buy and use an existing, operationally proven VoIP platform."

Here's where Global Crossing can help.

No matter what the challenge -- technology, security, support, or the evaluation of the control parameters for on-demand capabilities and ease-of-use -- we recognize that a successful VoIP implementation requires a multi-faceted approach. You can simplify your migration to a converged services and VoIP environment while maximizing the benefits. Let us tell you about Global Crossing’s Converged Services Model and how it can be customized to improve the efficiency of your applications, improve productivity and optimize your existing network.
