Verizon Business Offers Top 10 Tips for Successful Migration to IP Telephony

Chief information officers (CIOs) and information technology (IT) professionals for businesses and government agencies are continually searching for ways to control costs and enhance productivity. One increasingly popular method is deploying Internet protocol telephony (IPT). This advanced technology, which converges voice and data over a single Internet protocol (IP) network, facilitates employee collaboration and access to information, and enables businesses to reduce management complexity and streamline operational expenses.

A fully managed approach — whereby a company hires a service provider to oversee the transition of the company’s network to IPT and ensure high levels of reliability, performance and restoration — can often deliver significant benefits for businesses of all sizes.
