The traditional information and communication environment
of enterprises consists basically of a data server supporting the
data network and a communication server (i.e. PBX)enabling voice communication.
Present day economic work process needs require the merger of these
separate networks into one convergent network. This convergence makes
communication more cost-effective.
HiPath - the Siemens Enterprise Convergence Architecture, provides
a wide portfolio of platforms, Applications, which allows your enterprise
to flexibly migrate from traditional telephony to IP-based communications. |
HiPath stands for 'Practical Convergence Today' and offers you choices in
the evolution of your enterprise with increased added value and faster return
on investment.
 Choices
| With HiPath as an open architecture for distributed networks and
applications, you can choose from a broad range of solutions for the
convergence of voice and data. The convergence in small steps or at
different locations is made possible by IP convergence platforms.
Whenever you want, at your pace. Or you might decide upon a pure IP
solution. |
Evolution
| Our Communication Platforms cover the complete spectrum: circuit-switched,
packet-switched or a mix of both. HiPath supports traditional digital
telephones, IP phones, PC clients and analog devices that can be used
in all three environments. Therefore, HiPath offers the right way
to IP convergence starting from any initial position and allows a
step-to-step introduction of integrated communication into your enterprise.
Through the open HiPath architecture the choice is yours, when and
how comprehensively IP-based solutions are implemented into your existing
solutions, while of course, keeping the performance characteristics
you are used to. |
Value
The converged infrastructure makes communication
more cost-effective and generates economies of scale by consolidating
training ,support and other processes. The converged solutions such
as mobility solutions enable remote workers to seamlessly connect
to the corporate communication platform and network at anywhere and
anytime. As a result, organizations benefit from:
 Lower fixed
costs and better utilization of network resources and other facilities
Centralized
applications at the host location and better control and management
Increased staff
productivity, flexibility and motivation
