While Aastra was a pioneer of VoIP in the 1990s, we recognize that the importance of VoIP isn’t “technology for technology’s sake”, but the benefits that can be realized in costs savings, productivity gains, improved flexibility and increased agility and responsiveness. Reduced call costs by pushing calls over the corporate network, streamlining of communication infrastructures through the convergence of IT and communication systems, and voice survivability through network redundancy all play a role in helping businesses to reap the benefits of adopting IP technology.
Triggers for a move to VoIP may include:
- Move to / addition of a new facility
- Replacement of aging TDM equipment
- Need to integrate call features across multiple locations
- Need to centralize disparate voicemail systems
- Support for mobile/virtual workforce
- Expansion/ upgrade of network
- Business continuity/ voice survivability
- Expiration of Service Provider contract
Smooth Migration
Aastra believes there are true benefits from the adoption of VoIP, yet we understand that the journey may be an evolution, not revolution. For our customers and prospects, Aastra always emphasizes investment protection; we have designed evolutionary solutions from TDM to Hybrid to SIP. Aastra can provide all the elements of a complete UC solution to help our existing and new customers migrate to the environment they need, at their own pace.
