This new, comprehensive guide provides technical and non-technical professionals with practical insights into the specific steps they need to take to be successful with the implementation of VoIP and IP telephony.

Tips and highlights from each chapter will be offered through audio podcasts recorded by author Jim Cavanagh and syndicated via the Realtime Nexus Digital Library podcast series.

"In addition to complex technology challenges, voice communication has such a huge impact on organizational productivity that a VoIP or IP telephony project must consider all operational, policy, security, privacy and management aspects of a company's operation," explains author Jim Cavanagh.
