MAC in a VoIP environment
VoIP implementation in the corporate sector will occur at the rate of 44% by the year 2008. The main driver behind the accelerated growth of VoIP is the savings that accrue in the adding and changing (MAC) process, reduced bandwidth expenditure, and savings due to lower manpower requirements.
According to data made available by Nemertes Research, an outsourced MAC operation can cost a company around $ 120 for a single MAC. MAC carried out in-house can be in the range of $ 30 - $ 90.
In a VoIP network, the cost per MAC is around $ 11 per hour. The time required for a single MAC in a VoIP environment is around 15 minutes. The moving and changing that is a part of a MAC operation can be reduced to zero if the phones are IP-based. This would allow the users shifting offices to simply plug-in their phones and log on.
