Developing a Successful Unified Communications with Mobile Technology
\nModerator – Eric Krapf \u2013 Business Communications Review
\nChris Kardish, Principal, Nemertes Research, Inc.
\nMarty Parker, Communication Perspective
\nBrian Riggs, Current Analysis<\/p>\n
Communications integrated to optimize business processes. \u2013 Parker
\nExample: Sales as teams instead of many individuals. Increases customer loyalty and speed. How do I standardize it within my enterprise? Biggest problem. Also, standardize this platform. Why isn\u2019t mobile device acquisition standardized? This is the tough nut to crack.<\/p>\n
Integration real time and non-real time applications available in one locations. – Riggs
\nUnified communication is not a product, it\u2019s a solution to a problem.<\/p>\n
Extremely interesting session. I would have liked to have provided more detail but there was intense crosstalk with a considerable amount of acronyms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Future of the Phone<\/p>\n
Marty Parker \u2013 Principal Consultant, Communication Perspectives
\nBill Hughes \u2013 Principal Analyst, In-Stat<\/p>\n
Bill \u2013 Will have an identified operating system. Wireless phones are still considered a yuppie toy.<\/p>\n
Marty \u2013 Voice and a data device. We didn\u2019t have to destroy railroads to build airports. (writes a blog on voiploop.com) Friend went to China used only Blackberry. The person doesn\u2019t have a desk anymore. The main number goes only to the secretary.<\/p>\n
Marty – Trends to watch, PBX now realizes it\u2019s a software world. Reduce dependence on hardware.<\/p>\n
Bill \u2013 There is a difference in companies, some micro-manage the bill, others see it as a fountain pen. \u201cWe are going to save money no matter what it costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
How is mobility going to affect my cost structure?<\/p>\n
Marty \u2013 budgets drive behavior in corporations.<\/p>\n
Bill \u2013 I will pay $40 for mobile car charger, but not one cent more for a longer life battery. It makes no sense.<\/p>\n
Marty \u2013 At IBM, it\u2019s becoming protocol to IM before calling someone. The GPS phone could become your phone and mail code identifier of the future.<\/p>\n
This is very complex\u00a0 topic involving significant leadership focus from the enterprise to drive the complex types of changes that were being discussed. It’s surprising that more people aren’t listening to what they are preaching, they should be.<\/p>\n
