Like many multinational companies, Siemens Enterprise Communications needed to streamline its communications network management while setting the stage for advanced services. The company turned to Verizon Business for an integrated communications and networking solution that will enable it to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively as it transitions to a unified communications environment.

Verizon's solution for upgrading Siemens Enterprise Communications' European communications infrastructure integrates voice over IP with centralized, multicountry and multisite IP Trunking to link the company's Munich headquarters with operations across 10 European countries. Additionally, Verizon IP Trunking's Burstable Enterprise Shared Trunks feature enables Siemens to essentially scale VoIP network capacity on demand to support its business needs.

Verizon's simple VoIP infrastructure has also enabled Siemens to transition all its voice communications to its own award-winning OpenScape Unified Communications Suite, which includes audio conferencing, presence and collaboration tools – as well as providing a platform on which this can be demonstrated to the company's customers.
