It is precisely these features that make this rapidly-maturing technology so attractive to organizations seeking to reduce costs, increase productivity and improve customer relations. However, voice is critical to business, and a major change to emerging technologies like IPT requires an understand- ing of a broad range of technologies, careful planning and thoughtful implementation. This guide has been com- piled to help decision makers to understand the relevant technologies as they define their strategies. Following the introduction, we will review the typical components and features of an enterprise telephony sys- tem. We then introduce voice over IP (VoIP), the under- lying network infrastructure, and then we address the various issues one must take into account when design- ing the network to carry voice.
