Convergence—bottom line business benefits
Through convergence, a company can reinvent both its communications networks and its entire enterprise. A converged network supports vital, business-building applications—from IP Telephony to collaborative videoconferencing to CRM—that make businesses more efficient, effective and responsive to their customers. These businesses find that the benefits of convergence go directly to the bottom line:

	Converged solutions make everyone more productive by making it simpler to use applications and share information.
	Transaction costs in customer contact centers are lowered, agents are more productive, and customers are more loyal.
	Having one network to manage means bandwidth is used as efficiently as possible and enables other cost savings and efficiencies—savings in staff, maintenance, toll bypass, adds, moves and changes.

Lower network costs, improved productivity, increased customer retention, faster time to market—these are the bottom-line benefits that converged network solutions make possible. Whether it is creating a multimedia customer contact center, delivering employee training with video-on-demand eLearning, or laying the foundation for the future with a converged, multiservice networking infrastructure, Avaya has the applications and solutions that let businesses take advantage of convergence and become players in the customer economy.
