Why is a converged network key to my success ?

For some of us a converged network means the integration of voice into an existing infrastructure, whether it’s a fixed or a wireless network. For others it is bringing all communication to a single network. When talking about converged communications some of us mean the integration of data, voice and video. Others talk about content based intelligent networks or even next generation networks. Are you confused yet?

With the introduction of IPTel we already saw the seamless integration of data & voice on the network. Next step will be providing your employees or customers with several innovative possibilities. Whether they use their workstation, laptop or mobile device, they will be able to access the required services, applications or even other devices. Indoors and outdoors.  That is what Ferranti talks about. When discussing converged networks with our customers we also show them the financial benefits, the new solutions within an IT environment, the flexibility, the scalability, the improvement of efficiency & productivity and the chance to position your business ahead of the competition.
