Many organizations are hesitant to make the transition from their traditional private branch exchange (PBX) to IP telephony due to the complexity of the process. Watch this webcast to receive a complete customer-tested migration roadmap that takes the complexity out of making this switch. 

In this white paper, we are going to discuss the application of QoS to networks with media flows installed within them, such as voice and video. We'll see that it is very unnatural for voice to even exist on a data network, because it was never designed to do so. 

VoIP, and IP networks in general, work better when they can connect directly to other IP networks. However, there are challenges to skirting the PSTN altogether. This E-Guide covers the pitfalls of VoIP islands; the challenges associated with moving away from the PSTN; and ultimately how to get the most from your IP network. 

In this technical podcast you'll learn key things to consider as part of a business migration to voice-over-IP - designing your data network for QOS, traffic analysis and capacity planning, four possible architecture models, security requirements, and VoIP design components. 

This whitepaper presents a brief history of the evolution of video conferencing and introduces a new solution for video conferencing that provides high quality visual communication with low latency, point and click simplicity on portable personal devices, and low cost access that requires only a general purpose IP network. Read on to learn more. 

With the momentum of IP convergence and the movement toward an all digital world, professional communication systems combining telephony over IP, e-mail, instant messaging and audio/video conferencing services are sparking serious interest due to the benefits they offer. Read on to learn more. 

Telephony design requires a solid understanding of the drivers for Voice over IP, corporate policies for infrastructure design, and telephone components. 

The lessons from this whitepaper are applicable to a wide array of IP transformation programs and technically complex change management projects. 

Raymond Boggs, vice president of SMB research for the global market intelligence firm IDC, recently talked to Cisco® about how companies can use unified communications to successfully conduct business in multiple countries - with or without offices in those countries. 

Cisco's unified communications vision combines individual systems with different communications capabilities into a cohesive, powerful communications ecosystem that allows a business to revolutionize itself overnight. 

Even the smallest business can live large with a business communications system from Cisco. Why switch to a small business communications system from Cisco? Because when you combine voice, video, and data in a single network, you can cut costs and get more done. 

Check out this e-guide to learn about the differences between hosted and managed VoIP solutions, which will help you decide if outsourcing VoIP is right for your organization.
