Businesses today face mounting pressure to drive down telecoms and infrastructure costs. In parallel, profound changes in working practices and workforce mobility are driving up demand for secure. remote access to IT applications and voice features to help keep people in touch.
The increased demand and indeed reality of the convergence of telecommunications - transporting both voice and data as digital packets over Internet Protocol (IP) has reduced the cost of running networks. The flexibility with which such a network can be managed, and the applications that can run across them are starting to deliver significant business benefits compared to email, voice calls and voicemail alone.
BlueSaffron IP Multimedia offers a single secure platform for voice, data and a variety of value added applications. It provides an integrated and consistent communications platform for all your staff - wherever and however they work best - helping to improve productivity and reduce telephony and data networking bills.
The roadmap for any credible IP Multimedia platform should be to help the modern organisation get the best from its staff and their time, wherever they choose to work. This does not necessarily mean enabling them to work longer, but it does mean enabling them to work smarter through more effective use of technology for all manner of ongoing communication. IP Multimedia expands on IP telephony - Voice over IP (VoIP) - which carries voice in discrete packets of data over IP networks such as your LAN and inter office WAN, rather than over the legacy circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). But, whereas VoIP only offers services for voice, IP Multimedia adds visual options, instant messaging, collaboration and presence indicators to this audio technology.
BlueSaffron IP Multimedia Voice provides all the advantages of a cost-effective. network with an IP enabled telephony service that offers high quality. feature-rich voice services without the need to invest in new PBX equipment. Often referred to as VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) the service is engineered to run over private networks avoiding the congestion and jitter sometimes associated with residential VOIP offerings. Telephone numbers are no longer associated with a location or socket but with an end device or user.
