Company Offers Tips on How Its Global IP Network Can Help Businesses Work Smarter

With corporate Internet protocol (IP) networks increasingly the norm, there has never been a better time for companies to tap the power of IP to increase productivity and capture market share.

IP enables businesses and government agencies to converge voice and data into a streamlined network environment, delivering both cost benefits and capabilities that can help companies transform their business operations.

Verizon Business, owner and operator of the world's most connected Internet network and a pioneer shaping the commercial Internet, offers the following tips to help enterprises make the most of their public and private IP connections to conduct better business:

Make Telework Seamless - Establishing secure connections between an IP network, a VPN (virtual private network) and a public IP network can be a great strategy to extend the reach of an organization's private IP network to employees on the move. By using an IP VPN, employees can turn work from something that's done in a given physical location into an activity that can happen anywhere, using the Internet to securely connect anytime to an organization's corporate resources.

Create a Culture of Collaboration - Make every IP endpoint matter by providing workers with advanced collaboration tools, including Web conferencing and high-definition video conferencing, to enhance productivity, trim travel budgets and reduce a company's carbon footprint. One global company, Tandberg, a leading provider of telepresence, high-definition video conferencing and mobile video products, uses Verizon Private IP to support the company's rich culture of "natural collaboration" connecting 1,300 employees in 85 locations across 42 countries. Video-enabled Internet connections keep Tandberg employees connected from their home offices.
