Communication solutions for your business
BT can audit, design, develop and deploy IP solutions to help you embrace the future of work. No matter what stage of your IP journey you’re at, we have you covered.
The big PSTN switch-off has already started and is being replaced by a fully digital network. Find out how you can embrace the future of work with the move to IP.
In today’s always-on world, we expect instant access, fast connectivity and reliable communications.
That’s why the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), including ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), is being switched off. This has been mandated by the UK Government to meet digital demands and revolutionise the UK’s communications infrastructure.
The PSTN will be replaced by a fully digital network that uses Internet Protocol (IP) across a fibre-based service and will be the bedrock for operational efficiency within organisations, ensuring reliable and consistent connectivity between teams.
The move to IP is a brilliant opportunity for organisations to embrace the digital future of work. Our recent research showed that leaders understand the benefits of this, including greater flexibility, less applications, and more simplified communications, and are keen to engage. Indeed, 35% of business leaders and 42% of IT managers report digital transformation as one of their top three priorities.
However, it is troubling that only 6% of organisations have started their migration. Switching communications to the cloud or a digital voice solution is not as simple as clicking a button. The time is now to move to IP – and BT is here to support you, every step of the way.
A migration means navigating incredibly complex infrastructures, so leadership and IT managers must collaborate to ensure a clear strategy is defined.
