By fully supporting the H.323 standard, IP Office provides standards-based interoperability between systems and devices. Multiple IP Office systems can be linked together using a standard data network, providing feature transparency, and advanced applications such as centralized voice mail. IP Office delivers both an evolutionary and revolutionary offering. By delivering advanced VoIP functionality today, customers can buy IP Office as a traditional PBX, secure in the knowledge that they can step up to a pure IP environment when they want to - because it already delivers this functionality. Alternatively, customers can buy IP Office and implement it today as a pure IP system, taking advantage of the cost savings associated with a single communications infrastructure, as well as remote management and the applications that they require.
