Companies today have to manage many different systems to ensure they can make phone calls, access data, take part in videoconferences or download multimedia for training and seminars. Each system needs different hardware and everything needs to be paid for separately. That picture is changing. Companies are beginning to take advantage of the way that technologies developed for the internet let you handle phone conversations, data and video in the same way, using the same network.

Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) makes it possible to put phone conversations onto the same network as the one you use for data. If you have network links to all your branch offices, you can use them for phone calls and relaying video rather than being forced to pay to use public networks. If a member of staff in one office has to call a customer in another country, the system can be intelligent enough to route it through your network to a branch office in that country, so you only pay for a local phone call there.

This convergence will not just make communication cheaper; it can reduce the cost of hardware as you only need one type of network to support communications within your organisation. And it will ensure that employees stay up to speed with the latest developments through regular video training and company seminars.
