Telephones and Ichiro

Ha, you thought CNR would go a whole week without blogging.  You were worried, I could tell.  Well don’t get mad because here it is.  Today I will be talking about, what else the benefits of a new telecommunication system, but just to spice things up I will also be talking baseball. For everyone in the northwest we have grown to love our favorite leadoff hitter Ichiro Suzuki just like you have grown to love your current telephone system.  (What? people don’t love their telephone systems!)  Well the point is that like a great hitter, a telephone system will start to decline with age.  I know, you think it will never happen but one day you will look up and you telephone system is now hitting .260 and can’t steal a base.  Wait a minute I’m getting my metaphors confused.  The point is that rather than wait until Ichiro breaks down and you need to replace him and get nothing, you should try and trade him and get something of value out of him while there is still value to be had. In the case of phone systems, you should plan a migration path that allows you to leverage your legacy system while still acquiring new equipment that will eventually replace the old system entirely (in right field hopefully)  CNR can help determine when and what your migration path should look like.  So don’t get stuck with a broken down system, that quits suddenly and leaves you with nothing,  instead start thinking towards the future now and be prepared for life without Ichiro, I mean, your old telephone system.
