Cisco Sales Network in Lassen County, California, CA:Cisco Sales Network PBM IT Unified Communications Solutions - Call (888) 233-6471Cisco Sales Network PBM IT Unified Communications solutions provide your business with the expertise and infrastructure necessary to operate your business. In 1998, networking equipment giant Cisco Systems got off to an early lead in the VoIP market after acquiring the CallManager product through the acquisition of Selsius Systems. This allowed Cisco Systems to introduce a packet-based voice system that competed with other traditional vendors, such as Alcatel, Avaya, Mitel, Nortel, and Siemens. Since then, these and many other vendors have developed their own proprietary VoIP systems in response to the growing demand for VoIP systems. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator offers voice, video, instant messaging, conferencing, and presence on a single application. Gateway devices and Call Managers are not limited to geographical boundaries. A properly designed system would easily provide the scalability, redundancy and fault tolerance that highly available networks require. The unified communications approach relates very closely to the Internet model that the Department of Defense designed. The Cisco Call Manager server clustering approach represents a highly available network model that can meet disaster recovery requirements when aligned with the proper underlying quality of service (QoS)-enabled infrastructure. QoS is the glue of the network that guarantees the quality level necessary for real-time communications, such as voice and video. The transformation provided by the age of the human network will maximize human potential to address the challenges of today, and tomorrow, in unique ways. Unified Communications removes geographical boundaries while providing the social networking tools required to collaborate on important business challenges. Cisco unified communications will breathe inspiration, innovation, and personalization into organizations. Embedded in the Cisco Intelligent Network, the Cisco Unified Communications applications are network-aware in that they seek out the network services they require for example, an IP phone retrieving the proper settings for power or quality of service (QoS). Cisco Unified Communications creates a unified workspace by integrating IP communications with collaboration products and applications. Use of softphones resulted in an average savings of $1,727 per month in cell phone and long distance charges. Mobile workers also saved 40 minutes each day, enjoyed greater business communications convenience, and generated annual productivity gains of 3.5 days per year through business continuity impact. Cisco began developing IP telephony solutions in 1997. Today, Cisco is number one in worldwide enterprise voice and the leader in top IP telephony categories. IP telephony delivers an initial wave of business value to our customers by making it possible to (1) Consolidate platforms and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and telephony costs through toll-bypass, (2) Take advantage of underused network capacity by carrying voice traffic on the data network, accelerating network usage and maximizing ROI, and (3) Lay a strong foundation for advanced communications and collaboration capabilities. The ability to quickly develop and easily manage customized applications: Cisco Unified Application Environment 2.5, a rich portfolio of applications and development tools, makes it possible for web or enterprise developers, who have not yet developed telephony and unified communications skills, to use their current development tools to quickly and easily integrate network services and advanced unified communications capabilities (such as presence) with other business applications or develop entirely new transformational applications. Cisco solutions for network management allow businesses to actively monitor, manage and configure Cisco Unified Communications Solutions to (1) Reduce operational costs, (2) Proactively discover potential problems, (3) Maintain quality and user satisfaction, and (4) Help minimize service downtime. Cisco Unified Communications offers a new way of communicating that is more personal and timely. Instead of simply connecting products, the Cisco Unified Communications system provides structure and intelligence that helps organizations securely integrate their communications more closely with business processes, and ensure information reaches recipients quickly, through the most appropriate medium. Cisco Unified Presence adds another layer of functions to tools, including the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. Using dynamic presence information, users can check the availability of colleagues in real time, reducing phone tag and improving productivity. Cisco Unified Presence also provides a standards-based presence service that works with Cisco Unified IP phones connected to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Support of open standards enables integration to other systems such as IBM Lotus solutions using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE). Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Presence also support Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 and the Microsoft Office Communicator clients connected to Microsoft Live Communications Server. In short, Cisco Unified Presence helps users quickly connect to their colleagues using the most appropriate communications medium at any given time. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing solution integrates voice, video, and Web conferencing capabilities to simplify initiation and management of productive remote meetings that can help accelerate projects, improve sales support, and speed decisions. The solution is deployed on network, behind the firewall, and integrated directly into an organization’s private networks and enterprise applications, to provide significant cost savings, security, and a superior user experience. Intuitive interfaces make setting up, attending, and managing meetings easy. Integrated voice, video, and Web conferences can be set up and attended in a single step—from Cisco Unified IP phones, instant messaging clients, Web browsers, and Microsoft Outlook and IBM Lotus Notes calendars. The solution can be customer-managed or outsourced. The Cisco Advanced Unified Communications Specialization recognizes partners for their expertise in comprehensive, integrated network voice solutions. Businesses of all sizes are seeing a good-sized return on their investment in Cisco Unified Communications and are now watching their output increase. |
