Unified Communications (UC) is an evolving communications technology architecture which automates and unifies all forms of human and device communications. We already have the ability to optimize business processes and enhance human communications by reducing latency, managing flows, and eliminating device and media dependencies. But what’s next? Recent trends in cloud computing offer great potential in taking UC to the next level of efficiency. This presentation will provide attendees with an understanding of what a comprehensive UC solution entails, the benefits thereof and the advantages of choosing a hosted delivery model for developers, managers, and end users alike.

The current wave of UC and converged communications innovation is taking place in the SMB/SME segment, a technology/innovation-oriented segment that is looking for new, effective ways of optimizing their voice, data and video communications. Yet, these businesses face a major challenge —before UC applications can be deployed, the network architecture must be in place. In order to effectively deploy multiple real-time applications and services, SMBs must figure out a way to optimize last mile access to the IP network. Other considerations include QoS, security and bandwidth needs, as well as how to serve mobile workers through integrated wireless premise solutions.

Voice and IM are both “real-time” collaborative modes of communication and they are key components of any UC package. Yet these communication tools can only offer maximum productivity for business users when the caller, or message-sender, knows that the party they are trying to reach is truly available for communication, and by what method. Presence addresses the availability issue, and is one of the staple UC capabilities provided by a truly mobile UC solution. Presence has become a key driver in both the perceived and actual value of UC. This session will discuss how Presence lets mobile workers be more available and more productive.
