Insight for 2013: Enabling Apps Across Your Communication Silos

The need to be competitive and productive will continue to drive enterprises as we move into 2013. Your workforce will be increasingly influenced by the consumerization of IT, including the ease of downloading applications from the Internet, to help them get their job done. As an IT leader, your job is to enable workforce productivity, including BYOD, yet to leverage the communication infrastructure that you have. How do you effectively extend applications across your overall environment to work with your telephony and desktop software? How can you have flexibility to easily add new apps or to build your own? How do you do all of this while managing risk and without spending a lot of time or money?

This seminar will discuss how this can be done this using Session Management as an application delivery platform, including:

What’s changing in the way enterprises look at applications?
What is session management?
What to consider while in adapting applications to a communications environment?
How to use applications and application sequencing to improve business performance.

CIOs responsible for teams defining communications architecture and application deployment strategies
