HP’s new Voice Transformation Solutions, Virtual Workplace Solutions and Network Readiness Services address the trials organisations face when integrating telephony with communications applications, such as video or instant messaging
According to HP many organisations are facing challenges with enabling a growing virtual workforce, as well as interoperability issues caused by aging, inflexible telephony and network infrastructures and disparate communications systems.
Gartner predicts that by year end 2015, 60 percent of organisations will offer employees at least four parallel, overlapping, voice/telephony options.
As employees share information faster, they increase responsiveness to customers, partners and across the organisation, ultimately improving productivity.
“Clients need to understand how changes to their work environment can impact communications,” said Rich Skoba, director, Global Unified Communications Portfolio, Technology Consulting, HP. “By collaborating with HP, clients can leverage HP’s methodology and testing of multivendor UC solutions to create their unique Unified Communications journey, transforming their communications infrastructure to address needs today and into the future.”
With HP Voice Transformation Solutions, clients can build the foundation they need to create a productive, agile workplace that improves customer responsiveness. HP says clients benefits include:
Simplified collaboration with centralised Voice over IP (VoIP) and traditional phone systems extended via Internet Protocol (IP) to create a single conduit for voice, data and video.
A flexible, modular approach based on a customised voice transformation roadmap enables clients to evolve their communication infrastructure as needed, on their schedule, without disrupting business.
Ability to share information by consolidating voice messaging and audio conferencing into a single interface, which cultivates productivity and decreases operational costs.
