Multinational companies recognize that in today’s competitive marketplace, a state of the art communications infrastructure is critical to successful business operations and growth. For organizations operating across the globe, this catapults next generation communications to the top of the agenda.
As multinationals grow in size and complexity, so too grows their organization’s communications needs and requirements. IIn fact, the network infrastructures that support many large enterprises have become so complex that a carrier grade solution is now required to achieve the benefits that next generation corporate communications can offer.
Multinationals consist of several, disparate organizations, each operating across country boarders, often under different banners and country head-offices. In many cases they operate different networks and manage their own unified communications (UC) services in a diverse, non-centralized fashion. This duplicates costs, hinders integration and hampers growth and is not sustainable. To avoid being a competitive disadvantage, multi-country networks must be able to be administered centrally, be fully automated, be flexible and be easy to use.
Multinationals demand a fast, robust unified communications system. The communications infrastructure must be able to support disparate networks and technologies, seamlessly integrating the existing infrastructure and legacy software, with new services and applications. It must be required to span multiple countries and works in many different languages and locations. The network must also be able to rapidly and effortlessly integrate new business units and acquisitions.
