What economic or productivity metrics will be improved by the product/solution, and how will customers measure them?
- Increased productivity.
Mobile employees will be able to communicate - and have access to corporate data and applications - from anywhere on the campus, resulting in increased employee productivity (more work done faster), responsiveness and decision making.
- Consolidated infrastructure.
Because of HiPath Wireless' ability to accommodate a number of voice and data solutions on a single infrastructure, it is possible to elimination redundant infrastructure that would be required for independent point solutions, resulting in great capital and operational cost savings.
- Faster solution deployment.
HiPath Wireless' open, flexible architecture makes it easy to centrally segment and optimize the network without the need for complex, cross-network switch and device configuration. This provides the foundation for deploying multiple high-performance solutions across the enterprise with minimal cost and effort.
- Business process efficiency.
The introduction of mobility to previously static business processes (eg. mobile voice) or the ability to bring technology to previously mobile low-tech business processes (eg. paperless work order entry) will create numerous efficiencies that can result in significant cost savings and process improvements.
- High-performance solutions architecture.
Siemens' VNS network segmentation ensures that different applications can reside on separate virtual network segments, and each can have its own specific QoS, security, and network access settings. This ensures that voice solutions can run with the utmost quality while sensitive data applications receive the most stringent security, all on the same infrastructure.
- Low-cost network scalability.
The "wireless PBX" makes it significantly easier to make user moves, adds, or changes. Because cable drops are not necessary, users can be situated or relocated with minimal effort and cost.
- Standards-based, future-proof network.
Siemens' utilization of open standards ensures that users can deploy voice and business process solutions without fear that future standardisation will force major overhauls. The result is a smoother upgrade path and easier integration of new technologies.
