• Have carriers stopped the migration from TDM to IP infrastructure?

In today’s competitive and dynamic global business world, communication speed is critical to success. Organizations must cost-efficiently process contracts, invoices, purchase orders, and other legally binding, mission-critical documents. The fundamental business value of fax is: low costs, format insensitivity, ubiquity and global standardization, as well as transport velocity, security, and general robustness. Any downtime associated with efficient fax communications can potentially adversely impact employee productivity, revenue, customer service, compliance processes, and even corporate reputation. This session highlights the need for IT/network administrators, architects and business leaders to better understand the tradeoffs associated with different Fax over IP (FoIP) survivability” solutions.

As with all technologies, voice communications continues to evolve in unexpected and innovative ways. Voice 2.0 is the concept of merging voice and data technologies to service businesses and lifestyles in ways never before dreamed possible. As a result, innovative start-ups are giving us new ways to manage our social network, schedule conference calls, avoid long distance fees, and navigate phone menus. Imagine having voice or calling preferences automatically set based on a person’s location or movements. Or the ability to automatically record, transcribe, and index conversations with customers that automatically initiate service changes without a representative’s input or interactions. This is the type of evolution that will be available in Voice 2.0.
