Solutions: Unified Communications: Voice and Video over IP

Although many organizations have a limited voice over IP deployment in place currently, fully utilizing a "converged" network to increase productivity and performance is still a "wish list" item for IT managers and executives. Today however, there are a number of increasingly popular fully converged solutions available to make the case for migration more compelling. The key decision making drivers are closely tied to business productivity and enhanced ability to collaborate within the organization and with users outside the traditional LAN infrastructure. Enhanced converged networks are now able to be configured cost effectively across the WAN for multiple office environments as well.

Critical to any successful converged network deployment is a thorough understanding of network optimization, enhanced network management tools and network security. These factors demand a level of technical expertise covering the full scope of network performance. It is precisely this fact that makes Venture's converged network team so uniquely qualified. Our engineers develop a deployment plan that considers all these critical factors and our network design architects work as part of any converged network solution team to ensure that success of an implementation is based not only on the collaboration and productivity results it produces but also on the ability of the network to properly handle the additional load.

As with our other solutions, we work closely with our vendor partners to scope, design and propose a solution that meets our client's needs. By leveraging their product technical expertise we are better able to predict and plan for all phases of the implementation. Through this effective planning, we can minimize the risk of interrupting service while also deploying the solution within the anticipated timeframe and budget for the client.
