  1. The World of Difference Between VoIP and IP Telephony Guy W. ClinchSolutions Creator

  2. There is a world of difference between VoIP and IP Telephony • VoIP is the technique of sampling the audio of a voice conversation, packing it into datagrams and shipping it across an Internet Protocol based network where the sound is reconstructed. On the other hand …

  3. Telephony over the Internet Protocol is … the concept of moving sophisticated applications across an Internet Protocol based network to create value for the individual and organization… • The Internet Protocol allows us to abstract the application of Telephony from the physical device … • The Internet Protocol allows us to transport sophisticated call processing technologies to places where it was never before economically viable to do so…

  4. Telephony as an Application • In the way that the client server model transformed data processing, the Internet Protocol is transforming the way we think about Telephony • No longer are we dependent on the one-to-one relationship of PBX to endpoint … • Now sophisticated telephony endpoints can be: • A portable device in the way a PC is portable • A software application residing on an industry standard platform or appliance • A robust development platform for the creation of new forms of communication

  5. Leveraging the Application Telephony means creating new forms of value … • Moving sophisticated Telephony applications to the workers instead of the workers to the cubical farm • Using Internet technologies to move sophisticated Telephony applications to locations where it was not economically feasible to do so in the past • Reaching new sources of employment talent • Increasing the quality of life for workers who no longer need to endure arduous commutes • Providing diversification, business continuity options, and reducing the liabilities of large populations of workers located in one physical location

  6. Leveraging the Application Telephony means creating new forms of communications … • Integrating the application of Telephony with other productivity tools • Telephony enabled contact management • Speech enabled personal productivity tools • Telephony enabled Instant Messaging • Presence enabled applications that allow the user to control • Who can reach them • Under which circumstance they can be reached • By what communication channel they may be reached

  7. The Telephony application is at the core of the world’s most successful businesses • Telephony is the application that businesses from individual shops of national pizza chains to the worlds largest financial institutions use to connect with their Customers • Whether you’re ordering takeout or conducting sophisticated personal finance transactions, at some point the telephone is almost always involved

  8. The Application we call Telephony So a whole new set of questions arise such as, “In what ways can the Internet Protocol be used by organizations to transport the value creating power of the Telephony application to places where it can used in new and different ways?”

  9. Now we are talking! • But other questions arise: • How? • When? • Why? • How much?

  10. New Technology • We Techies go through an almost religious experience when new cool technology emerge

  11. Suddenly the new technology • The new technology arrives to great expectations • The new day has come • Rip everything out and replace • It’s time for a new world order NOT!

  12. Remember Asynchronous Transfer Mode to the Desktop • As late as 1998 Computing Canada was saying “ATM to the desktop still enjoys strong heartbeat” How many people have an ATM device on their desktop today?

  13. The thing is, people have a personal relationship with their phones

  14. You can’t just rip everything out and begin anew • A technology change to something so fundamental as the telephone has many implications • People don’t just use the phone, they build personal and organizational work processes around the phone • Who do I call? • Who do I want to have call me? • Who answers my phone? • What happens when I don’t answer my phone? • People depend on the phone • What happens when there is an emergency • When I have to reach someone right away …

  15. I have a God given right to dial eleven digits and reach any one of 200 Million other telephones within three seconds or less! Don’t be messing with my phone!

  16. End user expectations • End users expect 100% transparency between the features of traditional telephony and those available through ToIP • End users require Telephony standards of availability • Quality of Service • Security From: Convergence Challenges for Enterprise Networks The Gartner Group – May 2001 If you intend to change a highly reliable business tool that that people take as second nature, that has hundreds of features, and replace it with something new you better have a really good reason!

  17. The key is to … • Apply a new technology where it enhances existing processes and creates powerful new business tools that deliver value in innovative new ways without sacrificing the features, quality, and reliability people have come to expect … Now you’ve got a conversation worth having! • We like to say, • “IP where you can, TDM where you must!”

  18. Telephony over IP is • A powerful new way to deliver business applications • When used in the right circumstances • When applied in the right way • When the business value created dictates the use of the tool • It is not • A new paradigm • The New World Order

  19. It is a new tool to added to the mix of how organizations create value

All my business tools are available to me -- no one would know that I was not back in my office.” The Cost of Competitive Advantage: Business Case Considerations for Deploying IP Telephony in the Enterprise InfoTech – July 2001
