Enterprises want one network to meet their voice, data and video communications needs with standards-based technologies which will not become obsolete, in a few years, before giving any return on the investment. Security of databases and networks is also a major concern to enterprises. Many hardware and software systems (Firewalls) are available to protect the network from undesirable intruders.

Enterprises want to deploy services to obtain a competitive edge within a short time at reasonable cost; to use  network resources to run existing applications; to perform the business processes and meet their business objectives.

Technologies are changing very quickly. Outsourcing the functions reduces the capital investment.
