Pain Point - Demystifying the VoIP Business Value

This article caught my attention. It seems important enough to reiterate and not let this just die in a news feed.

Low awareness of voice over IP costs smaller firms dear

Over three quarters of managers have poor understanding of their VoIP technology
Martin Courtney, IT Week, 13 Apr 2006
Over three-quarters of managers at smaller firms have limited or no understanding of voice over IP (VoIP) technology. This lack of knowledge could collectively be costing them up to £1bn a year in unnecessary call and equipment costs.
This problem isn't just a UK problem. It's everywhere. And here's the truest statement from the article:
"Worries about security and performance have to be addressed. Skype and other services have been good at raising awareness [about VoIP] but they also cloud the true business quality of VoIP."  - Inclarity marketing manager David Larkin
There's a real and compelling need for qualified, competent VoIP practitioners to demystify the business value of VoIP. That's a pain point that isn't being addressed well.
