Scathing Report Forecasts Doom for Voice/Data Convergence thestandard.net Here's how the story starts: Forrester Research dashed a few entrepeneur's dreams Tuesday with the publication of a scathing report on the idea that the impending convergence of voice and data networks will save businesses money. As a result, the report concludes, voice and data convergence will never be ubiquitous. The report's predictions are remarkably pessimistic, especially for an industry where phrases like "can't be improved" are practically heresy. "Voice data integration will enjoy only limited success due to minimal cost savings, network management complexities, and slow carrier development of integrated services," the summary reads. Forrester argues that the main reason convergence has been so widely hailed as the next step in the evolution of corporate communications systems is the mistaken notion that running both services out of one piece of equipment will be simpler than the existing system.
