The Leading Enterprise Communications Event
It’s a new day for enterprise communications networks. The migration to IP Telephony and converged networks continues, and enterprise IT/telecom executives face growing pressure to leverage the new converged platform to strengthen their business. IP Telephony has become part of a much larger picture and is becoming integrated with a new generation of Unified Communications technologies and applications that are transforming how the enterprise does business.
With these changes, the budget architecture for enterprise communications is beginning to shift—while infrastructure remains a central focus of customer investment, there is a growing emphasis on software and applications. IP Telephony and Converged Networks are more tightly tied than ever to initiatives that support business strategy.
VoiceCon is the only event of its kind that provides IT/communications decision-makers with accurate, objective information and education focused exclusively on enterprise communications —IP-PBXs,
IP-based telephones and multifunction terminals, hosted and Cloud-based services, IP Contact Centers, Unified Communications, IP network and performance management, wireless and distributed networking, and the emerging applications enabled by converged, IP-based communications systems and networks. By bringing together an array of experts, including manufacturers, large enterprise customers, industry analysts and leading consultants, VoiceCon provides attendees with a broad spectrum of viewpoints and helps them plan for the migration of their networks.
