A single converged infrastructure supporting voice, data and video is essential in meeting the increasing demands of a fast-moving and competitive business environment. With the benefits of enhanced business communication, continuity and security, as well as a significant reduction in the cost of operation, more and more organisations are beginning the migration to IPT from their increasingly dated TDM systems. At Affiniti, we have vast experience of helping businesses minimise the risk, and maximise the benefits of this migration: - Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets - where the new network has supported leading-edge trading equipment and connected 1,100 users across the working environment.
- Fife Council – we’ve helped the Council reduce its annual phone bill by £2 million through the replacement of 12,000 phones with advanced VoIP handsets.
- GVA Grimley – where the new video communications solution has helped increase collaboration with overseas partners, reduce travelling costs and time, and enhanced customer service delivery.
- Edinburgh College of Art – with a new IP telephony system and wireless network, the college is now saving over £4,000 a year in maintenance costs and strengthening its position as a leading institution for learning.
Adopting an incremental approach to IP convergence, which evolves at your own pace and according to the needs of your business, can have a huge positive impact on your performance. Affiniti can work with your organisation to develop a personalised roadmap which shows you the best way to unify your communications network. With over 25 years’ experience in delivering high-performance network solutions and deploying 130,000 IP handsets across 150 customers, our people are dedicated to ensuring your secure, continuous and profitable business performance.
