Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has seen a huge surge in popularity in the past 12 months. Indeed, according to recent research from Datamonitor, VoIP adoption will increase by 9.7% between the last quarter of 2006 and the start of 2008. It is, therefore, important that companies understand how to prepare and monitor their networks for VoIP if they are to make the most of the opportunity it presents.

Modern lawyers need to be able to respond to client needs as quickly and efficiently as possible, and as such are heavily reliant on a range of IT systems and applications. Any loss of performance in these systems is not only incredibly frustrating for lawyers, but could be extremely costly in a profession where fees are based on time dedicated to a case.
One of the key benefits of VoIP is reduced internal network infrastructure, allowing companies to consolidate onto one network for voice and data.
