| After the replacement of a PBX by
an IP telephony solution through an VOIP-PBX is now in a second phase focused on application integration.
The phone itself has also become an application.
An application is software and software is evolving rapidly into new
directions next to the standard PABX features. In first instance we see now 'Presence' in which the user can indicate whether he wants to be reached, and especially how.
Presence as application should be independent of the network or technology, just like mobile and fixed phones by each other are no problem, but it is not sofar yet.
The Telecommunications industry itself talks no more about VoIP, but about Unified Communications. But the next trend is already visible, and is the specialization of BM Consultancy.
Telephony as SAAS (Software as a Service)
An interesting variation within the IPT SAAS segment which stands for "software as a service.
Back to basics in order to explain this. The 'process' telephony consists of two steps. Setting up speech and conducting the speech itself. A server provides for setting up the calls and a transport network (IP) is used for transporting the call.

Because also physical everything is pulled apart and IP peculiar links to anywhere, it does not matter where the server will be placed. It can also be placed in a hosting center. By virtualizing these applications now, may, subject to certain rules, large cost savings be achieved. This requires because of the real time character of voice an expert advice.
For all these questions BM Consultancy is your designated firm to help determine the direction.
BM Consultancy is through years of experience with several PBXs, but also with Microsoft OCS the ideal advisory partner for several issues surrounding ICT opportunities and possibilities of converging infrastructures and applications, but is also able to solve practical barriers for technical and organizational issues. BM Consultancy specializes in virtualization, not only from the aforementioned telephony, but also from a vision of the consequences for the new employee, who is used is to work with MySpace, Facebook and MSN.

The link of virtualization and tennis .... The next trend will be that those activities that were done solely by people, also will be virtualized, thinking of Second Life and such activities. Later on more articles on this site can be found on this subject.
