“While businesses are willing to invest in advanced technologies to reduce costs or enhance productivity, doing so puts a big burden on IT and telecom staff.  The new technology must perform as expected and meet ROI targets to be seen as a success,” said Frost & Sullivan Program Manager Elka Popova.  “To maximize the return on communications investments, businesses need to focus on three key factors: people, processes and technology. A proper discovery and assessment process can help IT and telecom staff and other decision makers better understand their business environment so they can select the technologies and partners that best address their specific business needs.”
