Make the Leap to Converged Communications | 2006-08-01 | Intel |
| Burgeoning demand for converged voice, video and data is creating problems for service providers. As they face fierce competition to attract new customers and keep existing ones, they need solutions quickly. New networking equipment and software must be cost-effective and development time must be shortened to ensure bottom-line profitability. Scalability to grow the solution over time in a predictable and cost-effective manner is crucial for business growth. Service providers can address all of these challenges by upgrading their network with servers based on Intel multi-core processors and the converged Internet Communications application suite known as CommuniGate Pro. Together, these two solutions provide a platform for the delivery of new multimedia services - a solution that is quick, cost-effective and scalable.

Siperian Case Study: Documentum | 0000-00-00 | Siperian |
| In late 1990s, Documentum (now part of EMC) was focused on mostly large enterprise software deals to achieve its financial goals. As the market conditions changed, the company made a strategic decision to pursue larger number of deals at a broader set of price points to create a more predictable, even revenue model. However, Documentum sales lead management systems could not support a higher number of deals without significantly more salespeople. To address their customer data integration challenges, Documentum evaluated, selected and implemented the Siperian customer data integration solution (then called Activity Server). The results were reduction in IT management costs, improved lead flow velocity and increased sales force productivity.

Leading Regional Bank Scales Up IVR Solution to Meet Rapid Growth Curve | 2006-07-06 03:15:27 | Microsoft |
| Woodforest National Bank is a regional Texas bank with 175 branches, some 100 of which are located in retail stores such as Wal-Mart. Although the bank has been using a Microsoft Speech Server 2004-based Interactive Voice Response (IVR) application for the past two years, it needed to scale up its telephone banking system solution to address the growth in call volume, create a new Spanish language application and move to a real-voice interface. Using its own in-house IT expertise, the existing Microsoft .NET infrastructure, and powerful Microsoft Speech Server 2004 R2 software, Woodforest addressed each opportunity. Adding a new server scaled up the solution to handle the increased volume and helped deliver a 70 percent reduction in live operator support. | |||

One Design Effort Leads to Many Products | 2006-06-07 01:00:26 | Intel |
| To be competitive with larger organizations, Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) want to make their networks more efficient. One hot trend - voice and data convergence - promises easier management and greater utility. SMBs expect easy-to-use solutions packaged in a familiar device, such as a router or gateway. For developers, it can be challenging to deliver the broad array of devices that meet these demands. Keeping those solutions simple and robust usually requires extra development work, which makes it hard to keep costs down. D-Link overcomes these challenges by using a common hardware platform - based on the Intel IXP42X network processor family - in all of its convergence products. | |||
