Verticals are increasing investments in Convergence

Converged networks enable enterprises to transmit data, video and voice over the same network, the end result being cost savings

That's why companies in almost all verticals are increasing investing in convergence this year according to Infrastructure Strategies 2003 (a Network Magazine - IMRB survey on IT investment. For more details, please visit networkmagazineindia.com). Overall, investment in convergence will double this year compared to last year. In the last one year just 8 per cent invested in this area, but during 2003-2004, 15 per cent plan to invest in convergence. Though large companies have been the prime investors in convergence, small and medium companies are showing increasing interest.
