Convergence refers to previously separate technologies like voice, data, and video that now share resources and interact. Technological convergence causes different systems to perform similar tasks, like voice, data, and video coming together over shared resources. Examples of new convergent services include internet services delivered to TVs, email and web access on phones and TVs, and using the internet for voice calls. Voice over IP (VoIP) carries voice signals over an IP network and is an example of convergence, allowing for reduced costs and improved productivity compared to traditional telephony. While stable, traditional telephony is being replaced by VoIP due to simplified infrastructure, reduced costs, rapid feature deployment, and improved security capabilities of IP networks.

Introduction to Unified Communications: Concepts and Opportunitiesdigitallibrary
You've probably heard "Unified Communications" as a technology buzzword, but what does UC actually mean? What technology elements are included in the UC definition, and more importantly, which elements are likely to become part of your enterprise network in the next 12 to 24 months? Separate the UC hype from the reality, and get a better understanding how UC will be used by your enterprise.

Market Research Report : Unified Communications Market in India 2012Netscribes, Inc.
For the complete report, get in touch with us at : info@netscribes.com
Unified Communications market inIndiais currently undergoing through a phase wherein the market can be characterized with steady growth and a cut-throat competition amongst players operating in the market space. Primarily, the market is boosted by the ongoing proliferation of high speed internet services such as 3G and broadband. Further, the demand to incorporate mobility amongst corporations is also raising the demand for UC based technology so as to facilitate seamless flow of information and data.
The market comprises of multiple segments including voice based communications, conferencing and messaging & calendaring. “Currently, the market is growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 23.5%,”says Mr. Kalyan Banga, Product Manager at Netscribes. An array of factors including rising enterprise mobility, availability of 3G and broadband services, abundance of smart portable devices and the presence of a tech savvy youth population basically propel the market forward. Cloud computing has become a significant part of the UC market wherein players hailing mostly from the small and medium business segment opt for hosted UC services and solutions. This typical behavior is mainly because of the tendency to avoid the upfront capital costs associated with the deployment of UC solutions. “The UC market will see investments pouring in from the SMB space which in turn is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of around 16%” added Kalyan.

2. Convergence Convergence can refer to previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other, synergistically creating new efficiencies. Technological convergence is the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks. An often used example is when separate technologies such as voice, data and video come together to share resources and interact with each other.

4. E-mail and World Wide Web access via digital TV decoders and mobile phones;
8. Voice over IP: Carrying voice over IP Used to refer to trunking across the WAN Now a “catch-all” term for anything related to voice & data convergence IP Telephony: Using IP phones Refers to extending IP all the way out to the desktop Examples: IP Trunking between PBXs with digital handsets = VoIP IP phones throughout the organization = IP Telephony
9. Overview Voice over IP/IP Telephony Represents the PRESENT of Enterprise Communications Both internal and external Brings convergence to multiple forms of communication Saves money and improves productivity But…… VoIP is unlike most (if not all) applications on the network Performance must be guaranteed Availability must be guaranteed A successful deployment of VoIP means addressing infrastructure and management issues BEFOREimplementation 6
10. Why VoIP? TDM voice is stable, cheap, has worked for years, and delivers the services needed So why Replace It ?!?!?!?!?! invest in training and Operations Administration and Maintenance an infrastructure upgrade IP Telephony is immature and insecure might not save money So why are we doing this? 7 ?
11. IP Telephony’s Promise Because We may actually lower costs after all Simplified network infrastructure Reduced MAC costs Rapid Feature/Application deployment IP Telephony utilizes the Internet architecture, similar to the World Wide Web Applications and Services can be distributed throughout the network Adoption of the Internet Model – distributed applications sharing a common infrastructure Security capabilities offer better protection than older voice systems 8
12. IP Telephony’s Promise Standard Protocols TCP/IP and related protocols (H.323, MGCP, SIP) Allows for multi-vendor interoperability Provides more product choice (someday) Ubiquitous Access Plug your phone in anywhere you have an Internet connection Soft phones on your PC/Laptop/PDA Service Creation No longer requires call control be on premises New opportunities to outsource 9
13. Industry Trends VoIP/IPT Industry Trends: Voice is converging with collaboration SIP is emerging as the de-facto standard for system interconnection, followed by H.232 More services are emerging Open source is becoming viable Security concerns are getting a lot of attention 10
14. The Big Picture Goal: a single communications infrastructure unifying collaboration, real-time communications, and presence Convergence not of voice & data, but rather convergence of all forms of real-time communications into a unified interoperable environment Combined with collaboration tools Integrated into business applications & processes Extensible beyond organizational boundaries Delivering measurable business benefit by streamlining and improving the ability for individuals and groups to communicate Voice but just one component of a converged communications & collaboration infrastructure: voice, video, instant messaging, conferencing, collaboration and presence as a unified application 11
