An IP convergent network is a powerful tool for all businesses. In order to make the most out of it, you need much more than simply buying the equipement. With Avaya’s experience in planning, design, implementation and management of voice and data networks, and Anixter’s value support, you will be able to provide customers with IP telephony migration projects regardless of the size or complexity those networks are requiring.
CNX Anixter presents a simple, four-step guide to walk your customers through a seamless IP telephony migration path:
1) Prepare the Infrastructure
A successful convergence starts off with an existing network. Therefore, with Avaya counseling tips, the customer’s network must be analyzed in order to take the necessary proactive measures to ensure optimum execution and constant throughput.
If any potential troublesome areas are detected, a thorough analysis and network optimization is recommended for a deeper diagnose. This analysis allows Avaya to precisely detect the network’s state and provide the necessary recommendations to ensure it is capable of supporting an optimum implementation of IP telephony.
2) Make the Decision
Whether it is the implementation of a large, complex network or the installation of a brand new system, the solution must be able to support the growing needs of the customers. With Avaya’s IP telephony solutions portfolio available at Anixter, you can provide the necessary flexibility and scalability to meet all kinds of present and future business needs.
