VoIP on the iPhone: Imagine the Possibilities (IP-02)
Wednesday - 02/04/09, 9:30-10:15am
Since Apple opened its APIs, the number of application developers who want to take advantage of the iPhone 3G phenomena has been enormous. The popularity of the iPhone, along with the emergence of applications and faster connectivity, makes it an ideal platform for developing applications that incorporate real-time VoIP. However, application developers are not audio processing experts, nor do they care to be. This session addresses how iPhone applications can be developed that turn voice into IP packets for transmission via WiFi, making it easier for developers to come to market quickly with integrated voice applications, and giving iPhone users a high quality VoIP experience over WiFi, even under adverse network conditions.

Contact Centers in a Web 2.0 World (IP-04)
Wednesday - 02/04/09, 1:30-2:15pm
A radical shift is occurring in the way customers interact with the marketplace. The traditional mode of defined channels of communication has given way to a broad array of connection points. As traditional channels erode, and a broader community ecosystem emerges, companies must rethink their loyalty equation by understanding how to engage in the new environment.
Also as we enter a Web 2.0 world, organizations need to learn how to drive loyalty through enhanced customer involvement in many crucial aspects of an organization, including customer support, product management and engineering and marketing. Likewise they need to be cognizant of the fact that consumers tend to access services in novel ways, including via mobile devices. To fully leverage the potential of Web 2.0 on mobile devices, it will be necessary to transform the service model and user experience of the PC and adapt it for the mobile market while also overcoming the memory restrictions inherent in mobile devices and limited key input. Come to this session to learn more about serving customers in a Web 2.0 world.
