MTN Network Solutions will host a free VOIP seminar (`VOIP - what does this hold for corporates?`), on 19 October 2004 at the Sandton Convention Centre, to discuss the implications and opportunities of VOIP for the SA corporate market.
"The change in regulation, that will become effective on 1 February 2005, has a significant impact on the corporate market and opens many possible cost savings to business. In a follow-up to our very successful wireless technology information seminar, MTN NS will again try and assist the corporate decision-makers by providing an open look at VOIP. This will cover the many issues and pitfalls associated with this technology. We want to help our corporate clients and others prepare for this exciting opportunity," says Mike Brierley, CEO of MTN Network Solutions.
"The seminar will get below the media hype and look at the practical requirements for the implementation of this technology in the corporate office. It will cover the issue of IP phones, connecting the existing PABX, inter-branch VOIP, least-cost routing, local break-out and international call routing. We will also cover the regulatory issues, surrounding these changes, and look at the commercial aspects of VOIP.
"This very sudden opening of the market and the enablement of convergence will confront the IT manager and CTO with many large and complex decisions in the future. Everything in the telecommunication market has changed, and companies will be bombarded by suppliers offering all kinds of innovative and attractive hardware and services. We hope we can help our clients and others in the market prepare for what is coming and how new services can be harnessed to improve business and lower communication costs," concludes Brierley.
