It was initially the research community's rule of thumb that large enterprise would elect to keep control over their networks when it came to implementing VoIP but it turns out that might not be the case.
According to a research report just released by In-Stat, "Global Enterprises" are getting set to adoption a Managed Services approach to telephony.

The report, entitled  "Global Managed Services Trends" In-Stat says Managed Network Services adoption will increase over the next two years. Surveying IT and network managers of large, globally-focused businesses with more than 1,000 employees, the research uncovered a trend toward toward out-tasking because of the increased network complexity involved in convergence.

"In two years, nearly 40% of survey respondents in the areas of PBX/Phone System Management and Telecom Expense Management indicate that these functions will be out-tasked," says Jeff Jernigan, In-Stat analyst.

"Within two years, MNS adoption rates will roughly double for security, storage and hosting, with nearly one-third of respondents indicating these functions will be out-tasked."
