VOIP is a technology that you should certainly explore. The preliminary business case will be based on traffic patterns, business application requirements, and technology refresh. Moving straight into a competitive procurement effort makes the best use of your time and money.

IT Exam: The ROI of VoIP: Does it Make Sense for You?

VoIP is the term for making telephone calls using a traditional data network, and it has solicited a tremendous amount of interest in both small and large organizations in the past year.

The motivation for VoIP is to reduce the number of networks an organization has to manage and to reduce the costs of the two networks. The trade-off is ensuring call quality. This quiz is designed to take you through the five key questions that allow you to determine if VoIP is right for your organization. Greenwich Technology Partners has been helped many organizations reduce voice cost by leveraging a combination of techniques -- one of which is VoIP, but it isn't for everyone.
