He has 25 years of IT experience. He works with nuclear scientists (the ones who make bombs and stuff). He has a Government budget. He is Scott Pinkerton. He can’t get VoIP to work and he has no one to blame but himself.
While the story of Scott Pinkerton and his follies with implementing VoIP at the Argonne National Labratory located just South of Chicago is getting quite a bit of attention due to a Network World article, the story is less about the “poor performance of VoIP” and more about the “lack of preparation and education” of the individual who was leading the VoIP deployment, Mr. Pinkerton
What went wrong?
It does not matter how much IT, Network, or Computer experience under you belt. If you are not well versed in setting up VoIP systems and do not properly plan for a VoIP deployment, no matter how big or small it may be, it is your fault that the deployment failed…not the technology. Business VoIP does not deploy itself…people do. Every time I read one of these stories, I find it interesting that they always blame the technology and not the person deploying it. It guess it is just easier to just blame the technology, rather than look in the mirror at the true problem.
So for those of you who are interesting in a VoIP deployment who have no previous experience with the tecnology my advice is find someone that can offer you a complete VoIP network assessment and evaluation or even outsource the entire deployment to a pro. Because you do not want to be the reason that VoIP does not work for you.
