Communications Convergence is the monthly magazine covering the evolution of voice and data communications through computer telephony into one computing network where different forms of media and applications conjoin across one open system - the Internet.
Computer telephony is being redefined with the emergence of new e-business technologies, such as SIP-based softswitches; telco-ready, high availability media processing platforms; unified and instant messaging; wireless, cellular, and packet telephony and data; and multimedia contact center (call center) and eCRM. Communications Convergence provides an objective forum where business managers and technical managers can learn about these new technologies, as well as industry trends, new products and services, and sharing of valuable convergence information.
Subscribers to Communications Convergence are the expert decision-makers who are responsible for redefining telecom for their companies and selecting the products, strategies, and services needed to do so successfully. They work in the Enterprise, IT (Information Technology), Channel, and Service Provider industries, and they turn to this cutting-edge publication to better understand the transport mechanisms, standards, protocols, equipment and services required to move to convergence. These necessities include xSP/Hosted Services, contact centers, core components/platforms, concentrated enterprise computing, network architecture carriers, core service providers, voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, mobile telephony, ASP (application service providers), and broadband and wireless access options.
