The mass cloud exodus at hand should come as no surprise. The benefits are plenty and undeniable. A key component of our current phase of digital transformation, the cloud is a revolutionary technology taking the Midas touch to all corners of innovation. One arena garnering much attention is cloud communications, and this week moving to a cloud-based system got a bit easier.

This week, Sonus unveiled Sonus Advantage, a bundled unified communications solution, which will make deployment easier, faster and ensure security. The transition from TDM to IP-based communications can be daunting, but with the recent Sonus creation there is no need to fret.

"Migrating to modern unified communications solutions is rarely a clean break for businesses," said Michael Brandenburg, Industry Analyst, Information and Communication Technologies, Frost & Sullivan (News - Alert). "The new Sonus Advantage bundled solution provides all of the elements that businesses need during transition and beyond, including security, intelligent session control, and support for legacy equipment."

Sonus Advantage protects your communications network, promising privacy and compliance. In addition, intelligent session control includes centralized dial plans, centrally managed policies, call/session state awareness, adaptive overload controls as well as least cost routing. A key point of note is that Sonus Advantage offers legacy equipment interworking for video conferencing, contact centers, fax machines, IVR, multi-vendor PBXs and voice transcoding services.

"Enterprises know that unified communications are the future. What they don't know is where to start," said Mykola Konrad (News - Alert), vice president, Product Management and Marketing, Sonus. "Sonus Advantage gives enterprises an affordable, logical starting point in migrating their legacy communications networks by focusing on the core capabilities of security, session control and interworking."

Evolution is a given – for most – however, transformation is a choice. Technology is evolving, but is your business willing to dip its toes in the waters of change? Sonus seems more than ready to help.
