ITEXPO West 2009: Mobile UC Strategies for the Enterprise

TMC’s ITEXPO (News - Alert) West 2009 offers attendees various events to learn from. On the last day of the exhibition, Thursday September 3, 2009, don’t miss, “Mobile UC Strategies for the Enterprise” starting at 1 p.m.

 

This session will discuss solutions available today that can unlock the power of dual-mode phones, providing the technology that enables seamless roaming between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Solutions that can be integrated into the handset so that end users can make calls, send e-mail, send IMs and broadcast their presence from any location making true Unified Communications (News - Alert) a reality.

 

Until you can unify applications on a mobile handset, you cannot achieve the benefits that unified communications has the potential to provide. Dual-mode mobile smartphones work 100 percent wirelessly and were built for voice conversations as well as messaging that can be conducted equally over Wi-Fi or cellular.

 

Scheduled presenters are Vivek Khuller (News - Alert), president and CEO DiVitas Networks; John Craig, director of enterprise unified communications CounterPath Corporation; Jon R. Doyle, vice president business development CommuniGate Systems (News - Alert) and Alec Saunders, CEO Iotum. The scheduled moderator is David H. Yedwab, partner, Market Strategy & Analytics Partners.

 

Recently, Jon R. Doyle gave an interview with TMC CEO Rich Tehrani (News - Alert) where they spoke about mobile applications.

 

According Doyle, new technologies, especially mobile applications, will help users be more efficient. And with the largest opportunity for growth poised in Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific next year, users will have more choice to meet their growing needs.

 

“Mobile operators will take a much larger position in the market beyond the mobile handset; into business-focused value added services, right out of the high street phone shop,” Doyle told TMC President Rich Tehrani in an interview (printed in full below). “Gone is the computer store and ISP of the past, and booming is the local mobile operator store offering end-to-end services and hardware for prosumer to business subscribers.”
