The advantages of an integrated IP communication system are as follows: low total cost of ownership, high efficiency, limited geographical distribution, high availability and adaptability, and centralized management and control, it can be summarized into the following ten aspects:
1. Simplified Network Operation and Management
Compared with deploying multiple networks for voice, video, and data applications separately, a single network architecture based on the Unified IP protocol can significantly simplify system deployment, operation, maintenance, and management. It can minimize the number of wiring and equipment, and deploy data, voice, and video services on a central server, making it easy to implement centralized management and control for the entire enterprise network.
2. Facilitate unified technical support
In an IP-based converged network architecture, both voice and video services are based on a unified IP data network. All network management and maintenance work can be undertaken by the IT personnel of the enterprise to facilitate unified technical support, reduce management and maintenance teams.
3. excellent scalability
In traditional PBX systems, increasing the number of supported users and other system capacity expansion requires expensive system upgrades or expensive expansion cards. The integrated IP communication system can easily achieve seamless expansion of architecture, capacity, services, and application functions just like the data network.
4. not limited by geographical distribution
The IP-based transmission feature determines that the integrated IP system is not subject to geographical distribution restrictions. The various applications and services run at the company's headquarters can be expanded to branches and even business partners without any obstacles.
5. conducive to technological innovation
The exclusive and closed features of traditional PBX systems have somewhat curbed the pace of technological innovation. The open architecture that integrates IP communication networks provides the best solution for technological innovation. As IP-related call control protocols such as SIP, H.323, H.248, and MGCP are widely used, new applications based on integrated IP networks have sprung up, its R & D and deployment Speed are beyond the reach of traditional telephone network environments.
6. Flexible Deployment
Compared with the closed mode of traditional PBX systems, the integrated IP network enables users to have more options in terms of system functions, service performance, and suppliers, and network upgrades do not need to depend on specific suppliers, quickly deploy new applications for a department, an end user, or the entire enterprise.
7. improve enterprise productivity
The original intention of the integrated IP communication network is to avoid coexistence of multiple network architectures and applications and provide users with integrated systems and IP applications based on the unified architecture, so as to fundamentally improve the efficiency of service processing and management, this increases productivity.
8. Improve Customer Satisfaction
The flexibility and unified architecture advantages of the integrated IP communication network allow enterprise users to provide end users or commercial partners with personalized communication channels that can effectively integrate voice, video, and data services, timely understanding of customer needs and improving customer satisfaction.
9. Provide a better return on investment
Compared with traditional voice, video, and data networks, the number of devices required for management and maintenance in the integrated IP communication network system is greatly reduced, which can effectively reduce the network management and maintenance costs of enterprises, enable enterprise users to get a better return on network investment.
10. strong versatility
Another major advantage of the converged IP network is that it has a good open architecture and a strong versatility. It has been widely recognized by the entire network communication industry, including product suppliers, suppliers and enterprises have begun to migrate to these new architectures.
