Architecture and Integration

The Business Challenge

Convergent technologies such as IP Telephony, Video over IP and IP-based Contact Center solutions require extensive knowledge and experience with both traditional communications and next generation IP services. Key design and integration areas include legacy phone integration, directory services integration, security and compliance, E911, Quality of Service, and operational processes and procedures. In the Contact Center, additional expertise in application integration is essential in order to reap the cost savings potential of new multi-channel communications solutions. This will maximize the efficacy of the technology for responding to customer inquiries and minimizing risks of lost customer contacts.
