Analyzes the Key Trends and End-User Adoption of Four Technologies in the Voice/Data Convergence Market

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82249) has announced the
addition of "Economic Outlook: Voice/Data Convergence (Market Focus)"
to their offering.

Introduction

Voice/data convergence technologies are often in the news,
particularly with Microsoft's recent offering to the market and the
new advanced features available with IP telephony systems. The key
driver for these solutions is increasing productivity in the
workplace, however solutions are desirable rather than essential and
IP-PBX adoption is gradual.

Scope

Analyzes the key trends and end-user adoption of four technologies
in the voice/data convergence market; discusses the main drivers and
inhibitors for investment and growth in this market; provides a
discussion on key mergers and acquisitions and results from a survey
on the leading vendors in this market; assesses future trends and
growth in voice/data convergence revenues from 2006 to 2012.

Highlights

Despite the technology advances and vendor marketing, enterprises
are adapting to IP telephony slowly. The changeover is gradual as IT
managers are reluctant to discard previous investments in TDM systems.
There is also an element of caution about the quality of service and a
lack of experience in using IP networks for both voice and data.
Managed services are provided by the majority of vendors but uptake
among enterprises is often low. However, comparing the way a number of
different technologies are deployed produces some interesting
findings. It is clear that PBX and IP telephony systems are top of the
agenda to be either managed on-site or externally rather than
in-house. At the moment, the cost of implementation is the key concern
of enterprises due to both a lack of understanding of all the
associated charges of running an IP-PBX system and due to the cost of
replacing a system that is still fully functional. Vendors will have
to reduce prices as the market develops and begins to saturate.
