Description:
Aside from its mainstream
role as an Information Security Tool, Xiscan is ideally suited to a role as an
inventory management tool. With the release in August 2008 of Xiscan 6, this
capability has been extended further still. Using our new and unique scanning
technology, we can not only identify where your faxes and modems are (with a
higher degree of confidence than ever before), but also identify excess line
capacity.
Rationale:
For a changing organisation
looking to control costs in a traditional telephony environment, identification
of excess capacity can lead to direct cost savings. Number ranges can be
decommissioned saving line rental charges, and telephony switch capacity can be
consolidated. Both actions can result in significant savings in recurring
costs.
Organisations looking at migrating to a Voice over IP
(VoIP) telecomms infrastructure can reap additional, less obvious benefits:
- accurately mapping current line usage facilitates
early decommissioning of existing infrastructure
- identifying exactly where legacy analogue access
(modem and fax) is still a requirement, so it can be catered for
One of the big issues surrounding modem access in
particular is that it tends to proliferate when unsupervised. The last thing
that you want in a VoIP migration is to find out, after the fact, that you have
inadvertently removed remote access to a key business or infrastructure system
in the process.
However, for an increasing number of our VoIP
customers, the real driver is the potentially huge cost savings
that can be made in support, licensing and maintenance that can be made by
early decommissioning of the existing telecomms infrastructure. |
