“We’ve definitely seen a savings in our monthly phone charges. In the long term, we’ve also reduced network maintenance costs by having only one network as opposed to two.”
- Rita Denison, HIS/Telecom Manager, Sturgis Hospital

Most organizations today have at least two networks: one for data and Internet access, and another for voice.
Having two networks is costly:
- Two individual networks must be installed when building a new facility or building out leased space
- Two hardware and software platforms have to be purchased and maintained
- There are several vendors to manage: one vendor for each service, plus vendors for the equipment used to deliver the services
- As the organization grows, two sets of moves, additions and changes become expensive and time consuming
As a natural result of these high costs and hassles, more and more companies and organizations are moving toward convergence, which simply uses one network and one platform for voice, video and data.
