Add Value with Managed Network Services

Managing IP Telephony services is a natural extension for many service providers, especially for those that already offer managed data services and employ network operations staff to manage Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-enabled devices such as customer premises routers. Managed IP Telephony services shift the service delivery point from the customer router to the Cisco IP Phone on the desktop. Additionally, if you are experiencing a decline in TDM PBX resale and maintenance revenues, you can shift your focus to a high-growth IP PBX platform such as Cisco CallManager, Call Manager Express, and deploy high-value, higher-margin managed services which cannot be offered in a traditional TDM environment.

After years of deployment, Cisco BLISS for T1 has helped service providers worldwide deliver cost-effective, high quality integrated voice/data services to their small and medium-sized business customers.
