IP communications find great adoption among enterprises thanks to the cost savings these services bring to enterprises.

A recent study from Siemens Enterprise (News - Alert) Communications finds that pure IP communications gives enterprises a 43 percent savings over legacy PBX (News - Alert). The research further confirms the fact that IP-based unified communications not only simplifies productivity for end users, but it also saves companies money, according to Siemens.
