Since 1979 The Basics Of Deploying VoIP For Implementation, Factor In Time As Well As Cost by Elizabeth Millard As VoIP vendors proliferate, the com- petition is boosting technology advances and quality of service guarantees while lowering prices. But in pursuing an imple- mentation, one factor remains constant, although it's been under the radar for many companies: the time and resources it takes to put a system in place.

Some small to midsized enterprises have a distorted concept of the time involved in deploying VoIP, many IT consultants have noted. They tend to think of VoIP as simi- lar to a minor network upgrade or creation of a customized application, which has some time requirements, but not enough to change the overall IT resource allocation. The reality is like a cold splash of water, says Paul Kowal, founder of technology consultancy Kowal & Associates. 'For some companies, by the time they realize how much time is involved, it's getting to be too late,' he says. 'You've got people working all night when some planning would have prevented that.' Single Focus One way to minimize the time involved is to assign a single person to the VoIP deployment and make it his or her full-time job for a certain amount of time. For a resource-stretched SME, this may feel somewhat painful as other duties have to get shuffled around, but arranging human resource needs in this way is the most effective method, Kowal believes.

'As- signing an internal person full-time to the role makes a lot of sense,' he says. 'That person can then do the research, go to the vendor meetings, and create the training materials. In some ways, it frees up the rest of the IT department.'

The troubleshooting of cabling problems will become an even greater challenge in the years ahead as IT infrastruc- tures continue to grow and miles and miles of new cabling proliferates in data and network closets everywhere. Fortunately, a variety of cable management and track- ing solutions exists to help administrators effectively iden- tify and troubleshoot cabling problems. These tools can help you make sense of that rat's nest in your network or data center cabling closet and make the seemingly undoable much simpler to tackle.

Cable Tools In General The cable tracking and man- agement tools in the market- place are typically a combina- tion of software and hardware. In addition to hardware such as patch panels, cabling, racks, and specialized management hardware devices, cable track- ing and management software adds a variety of management and monitoring features that enable management of this physical layer. These features include monitoring, logging and alerting, auto discovery of new devices, mapping of physi- cal assets, work order schedul- ing/tracking, and others. Most programs also include central- ized databases for storing and retrieving system information.
