Track: Conferencing & Collaboration Over IP Summit
(CC)


Introduction to Collaboration & Conferencing
(CC-01)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  12:00-12:45pm
Organizations are waiting for the “killer app” that will help their employees to embrace VoIP — much the same way that the spreadsheet drove the business adoption of the PC. IP-based collaboration tools just may be that killer application, leveraging the familiar environments of Web, voice, data, and video conferencing while bringing companies the huge cost-savings associated with VoIP. This session will cover examples of how companies are pulling together their ongoing converged network initiatives with the savings opportunities available in IP-based conferencing and collaboration to drive the adoption of VoIP.

Adding Video to Enhance the Collaboration Experience
(CC-02)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  1:00-1:45pm
Desktop video conferencing will take video conferencing from today’s static systems, where expensive equipment is located and reserved for the select few, to a dynamic environment where people can initiate and join calls from IM clients on PCs and 3G mobile terminals. Unfortunately, challenges abound. This session will detail applications like video conferencing and show how companies are using this technology to achieve substantial productivity gains while reducing costs. The panelists will also address the evolution of video, and explain the implications for business.

Adding VoIP to Web Conferencing & Collaboration
(CC-03)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  2:00-2:45pm
Web conferencing and collaboration has improved productivity, reduced travel costs and even brought conferencing costs down. VoIP helps by adding the voice component, allowing users to participate in conferences via phone, PDA, PC, etc. extending the functionality of VoIP and conferencing, enabling rich media experiences across devices and networks. Key to providing a complete solution is a VoIP soft client or VoIP enabled application that will enable high-quality real-time voice communication between users of the application. Making a sound investment in a flexible framework that includes quality-enhancing algorithms will guarantee faster time-to-market and a sound total life-cycle cost, given the amount of redesign, support, and maintenance any quality issues would otherwise generate. This discussion will cover these and other issues that need to be addressed in order to successfully offer voice capabilities.

IP-Based Collaboration Tools for Teleworking
(CC-04)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  3:00-3:45pm
Federal, state and local governments alike are offering various incentives to groups to implement telework programs. Converged, IP-based collaboration tools enable teleworkers to keep in close contact with their colleagues and managers with features such as live video, telephone-quality audio, instant messaging, joint editing, secure file storage and application viewing, while the presence capabilities in many enable managers to see when their teleworkers are online for quick communications. The panel discussion will provide tips and tricks on both finding a technology provider and handling the common obstacles to effective implementation and management.

Presence & Unified Communications
(CC-05)
Tuesday - 01/24/06,  4:00-4:45pm
IP-based conferencing is certainly not your father’s conferencing solution. It converges real-time voice, Web, and collaboration tools over a single packet-based network, creating a new, productivity-enhancing user experience. IP is turning conferencing into a one-click, on-demand, desktop-centric paradigm. Users will be able to tap into a rich new range of conferencing services, such as presence- and location-based information about conferences, click-to-call scheduling, instant messaging, and document sharing. This session will discuss the experiential differences between traditional PSTN conferencing and the new world of unified IP conferencing. Discussion will focus on recommendations for better preparing users to take full advantage of the technology’s workplace productivity gains.
