NORWALK, CT (September 22, 2011)  TMC – a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online – and NetScout (News - Alert), the market leader in Unified Service Delivery Management enabling comprehensive end-to-end network and application assurance,announced today a complimentary Webinar event, “Protecting the User Experience: Coping With the Challenges of Delivering Real-Time Unified Communications Services” live on Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 1:00 PM EDT / 10:00 AM PDT.

The complimentary Webinar, sponsored by NetScout, will  explore a unified strategy for managing and optimizing the delivery of UC services to assure service quality and deliver a consistent user experience.

Unified Communications (UC) is all about improving collaboration and boosting business productivity. The successful adoption of UC services, such as VoIP, Video Conferencing, Telepresence (News - Alert) and Desktop Video, assumes that service quality will be sufficient for users to interact effectively and consistently. Assuring the quality of UC services is no easy task. UC services are complex and require unforgiving performance levels with always-on availability to meet the high expectations of users and the organization. The reality is that many UC deployments fail to achieve the internal traction desired due to poor user experiences. The Webinar will examine best practices for achieving a scalable and sustainable approach to assuring UC service delivery. These proven best practices can simplify the complexity of managing multi-location, multi-vendor UC deployments while streamlining IT operations to ensure UC deployment success, lower the TCO of UC services, and improve IT staff productivity and collaboration.

This Webinar will review:

• Transforming service management from reactive to proactive by automating to predict and prevent performance issues before users are effected
• Quickly troubleshoot and pinpoint underlying causes of UC service performance problems
• Simplify managing complex multi-location, multi-vendor UC environments
• Optimize, protect and accelerate new UC application roll-outs

Recommended for:

• Business and Technology Decision-Makers and Managers responsible for Unified Communications, VoIP, Video Conferencing, service delivery and network management
• Organizations tasked with managing multi-technology, multi-vendor or multi-location UC deployments
