Consulting

The fundamental strength of Ketchum Integration is its origin as a pure IP enterprise telephone system integrator. Ketchum Integration has tested and evaluated every IP-based telephone system on the market today. It will continue to test and evaluate new and existing systems to be able to provide the best the industry has to offer. For the single site enterprise, this "Best of Breed" approach assures a greater selection from which Ketchum can help the client make an informed decision.

For multiple site enterprises, the integration of VoIP within an existing WAN infrastructure can provide great benefit from lower costs. For this application, Ketchum Integration provides a uniquely flexible end-to-end solution. It begins with a detailed Return on Investment (ROI) analysis that determines the exact amount of savings that will occur with a VoIP implementation.

Three factors determine the potential savings. The first factor is toll bypass. The amount of toll bypass savings is determined by a careful analysis of each location's telephone bill. All telephone traffic between offices that previously used the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) will now travel over the existing managed network. The second factor is toll arbitrage. Toll arbitrage is achieved by using the WAN to hop to the closest location of the call. For instance, an originating call from San Francisco to New York would use the network to get local dial tone from the switch in NY to complete the call. The third factor is the reduction in Total Cost of Ownership or (TCO). IP-based telephones systems are administered with an internet browser that is easy to learn and use from any location on the network. All MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes) can be self-administered and most IP-based systems use non-proprietary analog telephones. All of these factors combined greatly reduce the TCO and contribute to the total ROI. Ketchum Integration presents these findings in a detailed report, along with an IP-based telephone system configuration and investment requirement. Whether you have a single site enterprise or a widely dispersed multiple-site enterprise, now is the time to investigate the benefits of VoIP.
