The company said that as the services go over managed networks, rather than the public Internet, customers can realize the cost, feature and productivity benefits of VoIP without compromising on the reliability and quality they have come to expect from traditional business telephony.

 The expanded suite of solutions adds Hosted IP Centrex, IP Trunking and Managed IP PBX, as well as an enhanced IP Integrated Access offering, to the Verizon VoIP portfolio. Verizon Business has also launched a global VoIP Gateway service for the wholesale market through its International Partner Solutions business unit.

The Verizon VoIP portfolio incorporates a range of IP communications solutions for enterprises looking to transform the way they do business. Palais de Congres de Paris (France), the renowned convention center in Paris, is one customer already reaping the benefits of Verizon VoIP. The company wanted to implement a VoIP solution to converge voice and data networks and expand its business telephony applications while maximizing its existing TDM-based PBX architecture. IP Integrated Access has proved an ideal first step to convergence.

"Having experienced a high-quality voice service for more than four years and IP services for more than a year with Verizon Business, we have decided to continue our partnership to transition to a full VoIP solution," said Thierry Vaneycke, telecom and audiovisual director at the Palais des Congres.
