TMCnet News

Alteva, a unified communications (UC) solution provider headquartered in Philadelphia, has announced that William Bumbernick, chief innovation officer, will speak at ITEXPO East 2011, being held through Friday, Feb. 4. Bumbernick will join industry leaders from Market Strategy & Analytics Partners, Siemens Enterprise Communications and LogiSense (News - Alert) on a panel titled, “De-mystifying Hosted Communications,” Friday, Feb. 4, from 9 to 9:45 a.m.

There are a multitude of hosted communications services on the market today, each with a promise to deliver numerous customer productivity benefits as well as cost savings. This session will consider the many alternatives available to businesses today, and provide the end user with a baseline understanding and definition for each. The session will conclude with some predictions around the future of the hosted market and its impact on the enterprise.

“While many types of hosted communications exist in the industry, one thing is certain – by utilizing the power of the cloud, end users will realize a dramatic reduction of costs compared to premises based solutions,” said Bumbernick. “When a customer chooses a hosted unified communications solution, they benefit from the things important to making a business efficient such as unparalleled communications continuity, vendor/ bill consolidation, scalability, increased control, business continuity and mitigation of technology obsolescence. Hosted UC solutions, like VoIP and Microsoft (News - Alert) Communication Services, contribute to an overall reduction in resources and costs of power and cooling by up to 84 percent, also providing a green benefit to the end user.”
