Jon Arnold / Joe Warnement - Digital Fairway and Managing Enterprise Convergence
On this week's podcast, Jon spoke with Joe Warnement, CEO of Toronto-based Digital Fairway Corporation. The company is market leader in advanced OSS solutions with a strong focus on managing multimedia communications in a converged network environment. This is an area of growing importance, and Joe spoke to the pain points that enterprises are experiencing as they go down the path of network convergence.
Joe further discussed how enterprises underestimate the backend requirements for network convergence, and the specific issues around managing the corporate communications infrastructure. Digital Fairway was part of the Dow Chemical VoIP deployment in 2004, and working with Cisco, they gained valuable experience in what was then the largest VoIP enterprise roll out. They have built upon that considerably, and Joe commented the market opportunity he sees ahead.
