 CONVERGENCE
IS NOW
The
question is no longer if you need a voice and data convergence
strategy. Now you must ask yourself how and when you
will implement your plan.
As
you read this, your competition is most likely pursuing
an enterprise convergence strategy for telecommunications.
Compel can help your team develop one as well. Compel
will assist you in the simplification and management
of your convergence network plan with no reduction in
quality or service availability to the
end user.
What
is Convergence?
Simply
defined, convergence is the blending of your PBX
voice network, LAN, WAN and the Internet into a
single transparent network. In fact, sending voice
over the IP network is the basis for the way all
business will function in the future. |

Assessing
the demand.
Your individual
demand for IP telephony may be immediate or delayed.
After all, your legacy PBX is currently an important
component of your enterprise information system.Compel
will help you determine how convergence can move your
PBX from a traditional isolated environment, to a client-server
architecture, which can utilize open operating systems,
public protocols and industry-standard server platforms.
Compel’s method is seamless and transparent.
Providing
the solution.
To simply
converge voice and data at the packet level is easy
to do. A lot of manufacturers are offering that approach.
Compel could have taken a legacy PBX product with an
IP gateway on it, which would not provide true IP telephony.
On the other hand, we could have used a mainstream data
product with a proprietary solution, offering no multiple
voice protocols such as QSIG. Instead, we chose to put
more effort into the process, and converge at the application
level. That’s where the real benefits of convergence
are found.
If
the demand for Voice over IP (VOIP) is immediate, your
network can be configured all at once. If it is not
important for everything to go IP in the voice network,
you can ease into it. You are able to run the network
as your PBX functions today, while easing into VOIP.
You can bring up single phones, or entire departments
one at a time. With Compel’s solution, it is very easy
to grow the system. In fact, the Compel solution provides
the industry’s easiest transition from legacy PBX to
VOIP.
 Reaping
the benefits.
The Compel
solution offers your enterprise communication system
a solution that allows you to grow at your own pace,
with an easy to manage network. With the integration
of voice and data, you can bring new applications on
line, and make the telephone and PC perform as one device,
all without compromising reliability.
The
power and simplicity offered to your enterprise by converging
the voice and data networks will allow you to build
a strategy for increasing profitability by improving
time to market with new e-business applications as well
as standard applications, such as call centers automated
attendant and unified messaging.

- Allow voice a free ride
on the data network
- Save on cabling costs

subscriptions
- Increase revenue via
web enabled contact center
