Overview
As companies with aging voice infrastructures face end of life considerations, there has been a tendency to delay migration planning based upon un-examined fears and exaggerated risks associated with the current capabilities of IP Telephony. Many companies, who have been on the sidelines in the migration to IPT, have failed to adequately evaluate the hidden risks that have been growing as their systems reach their end of life stage.

By conducting a wide ranging and effective analysis of the hidden risks of the status quo and the current risks, as well as analyzing the positive business potential impacts for IP Telephony, many companies will find it much easier to justify and ultimately benefit from an earlier rather than later migration to IPT. Running your current telephony system into the ground may seem like a hard nosed business decision, but it can turn out to be riskier and more costly than you realize.
