Convergence: Evolution or Revolution?
Overview This white paper is an overview of the current market in voice and data convergence technologies, and specifically NEC America's Corporate Network Group's voice and data convergence strategy. This paper includes an assessment of the impact of convergence on three types of customers and how these customers should view NEC’s strategy. Convergence is a topic that has been promoted by vendors for several years in various forms, including desktop conferencing, multimedia, and most recently voice/data/Internet convergence. In many ways, convergence makes tremendous sense in the wide area and public networks where the volume of data traffic has exceeded that of voice, but where voice traffic still generates the majority of revenue. Some companies view convergence as a low-cost alternative to current transmission methods, while other companies state that the new converged solutions are a technological smoke screen obscuring solid business justifications.
