60% Medium Enterprise IP Comms in Korea, China, India and Hong Kong
More than 60 percent of mid-sized companies with 2,500 to 9,999 employees in China, Hong Kong, South Korea and India currently are using managed IP PBX and hosted IP telephony for their voice communications, according to researchers at The Yankee Group.
Although enterprises experienced or expect savings on domestic long distance and international direct dial charges when using IP telephony, they also experienced or expect increased spending premium on network equipment, telephony equipment and network security by up to more than 25 percent, Yankee Group says.
User training seems to be the biggest challenge for enterprises deploying IP telephony and UC is user training issues. By geography, user training is a more pressing challenge for companies in Hong Kong (56 percent) and India
(58 percent). Inability to understand the link between technology and business process challenges Korean companies the most (52 percent).
