Abstract:

New productivity-enhancing VOIP-enabled applications have to be a central focus for VOIP to be adopted enthusiastically by users.

To do that, you should begin looking at the VOIP-specific as well as the general topdown management solutions.

As soon as you make those investments, I guarantee you will get a much better perspective on the day-to-day of activities within your VOIP installed base. The workaround today for a bad VOIP service is pretty easy, since everyone has a cell phone glued to their hands. But what is the back-up when those real-time applications are being used by hundreds of employees?
