Data/Voice Integration Services

Computer  Analytical Systems, Inc., has extensive experience in the design and  implementation of Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). CASI also  offers local and wide-area network audits, telephone PBX selection, implementation and  operations management, and cabling services.

A Local Area Network (LAN) is the process of  interconnecting multiple computers on one site. This allows for the sharing of common  information from a single source and the ability to communicate with one another through  productivity packages that can include E-mail, group scheduling and task orientated  "To-Do" lists.

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is the process of  interconnecting computers from different buildings or sites into one computer network.  This allows for multiple offices to share the same information and to communicate with one  another via E-mail, etc.

Since the process of interconnecting offices  usually requires the use of a phone company's lines, CASI can analyze the  telecommunications equipment of the company to see if a cost savings can be realized by  integrating the phone lines with the data lines. In addition, the phone company offers a  large variety of lines to interconnect offices. CASI can provide the necessary information  and analysis to give our clients the information they need to obtain the best service at  the best price.

Data/Voice Integration is the process of  combining voice and data communications over the same hardware/cabling substructures. This  means that a company can save a significant amount of money and resources by evaluating  their current voice or PBX phone systems and using this already owned equipment to provide  data communications services. This is especially cost-effective if a company is planning  to interconnect remote offices to one another.

With today's technology, the voice and data  can literally share the same lines and automatically switch between the two on an  as-needed basis. This technology also allows remote offices to have all of their phone  needs met through the equipment at the main site. This eliminates the need for individual  PBXs at each site, and also eliminates the need for individual voice mail systems, WATTS  lines, etc., since phone numbers at the remote site will be identical to the phone numbers  at the main site. Similar circumstances apply to computer equipment as well, since, in  some cases, data and voice integration can eliminate the need for individual file servers  at remote sites.
