The opportunities for a CCVP candidate are growing considerably and will continue to grow in the next few years. Mainly, this is due to the increase of converged networks. According to Cisco, more than 70% of all Fortune 500 companies using Cisco Unified Communications products and 69% of approximately 1,500 companies surveyed expect to employ a dedicated voice specialist by 2012. Not to mention that the average salary increases by almost $20,000 between a CCNA and CCVP certified individual.
