Widespread adoption of Internet technologies is making it practical and compelling to run voice, video and data communication solutions on one network, instead of separate telephone, video and data networks. This convergence will help you reduce operating costs, increase productivity, and enable new business solutions.

Integrating communications lets you save money by eliminating redundant hardware, software, wiring, and support. For example, one significant cost of owning a phone system is the cost of adding, moving, or otherwise changing telephone equipment configurations, such as when an employee moves to a new office. With an integrated network that carries all types of communications, you can update telephone configurations at the same time you update local area network settings.

Using the Internet can even replace some of your telephone expenses. For example, you can cut costs by using the Internet instead of private or dedicated phone lines to communicate between offices and with business partners.

Reducing costs may be the incentive you need to deploy converged networks. But a more important benefit for your business may come with the potential of these next-generation networks to enable compelling new business applications.

Deploying a converged network is a far different challenge than a data only solution. Lightspeed is fully equipped to take on the variety of complex tasks associated with implementing a converged network solution that's right for you.
