[August 28, 2008] An Evaluation of Companies Coming on the IP Convergence Bandwagon: Discover the State of Network Migration in the Forbes Global 2000 Companies Tweet DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/acb105/companies_coming_o) has announced the addition of IE Market Research Corp.'s new report "Companies Coming on the IP Convergence Bandwagon" to their offering. Global 2000 Companies Coming on the IP Convergence Bandwagon... but it will take longer than most analysts think. Using the results of IEMR's 2008 Global Enterprise Telecommunications Survey, this Industry Strategic Outlook evaluates the state of network migration in the Forbes Global 2000 companies, and gives strategy recommendations for Global 2000 companies as well as for vendors of managed networking services. Our 2008 Global Enterprise Telecommunications Survey shows that telecommunications and networking procurement professionals at Global 2000 companies will continue to invest in IP networks and services. However, the pace of network adoption is slower than what most analysts think with only 50% of Global 2000 companies deploying VoIP contact centers by 2012 and only 70% of Global 2000 companies deploying Desktop VoIP (IP PBX) by 2012. The major reasons for this slow adoption among leading global companies is network security, quality of IP-based calling, and the complexity of the migration path.
