VoIP for Enterprise Solution

Introduction

Service providers are striving to create offerings that
deliver business value to their clients as a means to
grow revenue and improve margins. That means selling
more than bandwidth. Network-based service delivery
of applications such as IP Telephony and messaging
are the foundation on which more value-added
services can be provided.

Service operators want to capture the market
opportunity for Hosted IP Telephony, which is
anticipated to experience steep growth, particularly
with small and mid-size businesses, multi-sited
companies and Centrex users looking to upgrade to
a VoIP solution.

Alcatel-Lucent’s VoIP for Enterprise Solution enables
service providers to offer Hosted VoIP services to their
clients. This solution offers three delivery models
1. Network-based VoIP 2. Alcatel-Lucent Managed IP
PBX Service 3. Alcatel-Lucent Hosted IP PBX Service.

The third-party hosted service model, such as the
Alcatel-Lucent Hosted IP PBX Service, supports service
operators as they strive to reduce time to market and manage
the financial and market risk associated with new services.

Alcatel-Lucent’s Hosted IP PBX service meets these business
requirements through a service delivery approach based on an
innovative business model:

• The solution is owned, hosted and managed by

Alcatel-Lucent

• Alcatel-Lucent commits to solution availability and

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

• The service is delivered to the end user through the

service operator’s network

• The service is paid based on usage (e.g. per user per month)

with a set-up charge and a monthly fee

• Typical contract is for three – five years
