VoIP Tips for Success
In an article just posted, Carlt Windsor, Chief Technology consultant at Telecity offers 10 tips for IT directors looking at VoIP.
It is essential to involve all your company departments in the decision to go VoIP. Understand what the technical benefits are and articulate them across your business in terms of benefits to each department. Buy-in like this will ease deployment and help to generate the business case.
I only see nine tips, but you need to read the article to get Carl's commentary on each.
- Set your goals and stick to them
- Don't forget the infrastructure
- Speak to experts
- Understand the risks
- Hedge your bets
- Segregate your networks
- Stick with what you know
- Secure your network
- Monitor your network
If, like me, you find yourself involved in making the "elevator pitch" to C-level business managers on how to make a VoIP project successful, this list represents a great framework for your operational philosphy at deploying VoIP.
