April 21, 2010 11:09 AM
NEC Unified Solutions is leveraging cloud services to take unified communications to the next dimension and create new user-centric killer applications. To date, vendor hype has devalued the promise of unified communications and threatens to cause confusion with the move to cloud computing. In the absence of clear and unambiguous explanations of the benefits of embarking on such projects, end users could be forgiven for thinking that these are technologies without a purpose. However a revolution is underway, bringing with it real benefits to enterprises and to workers.NACR Puts Words Into Action With Company-Wide Avaya Unified Communications
April 15, 2010 09:15 AM
For communications expert NACR (North American Communications Resource, Inc.), using the same solutions that it sells to customers has proven to be a smart and successful strategy for enhancing company-wide productivity, collaboration, and service levels.Voicecon: Going Forward, Vision Matters
March 24, 2010 10:27 AM
I spent the better part of Voicecon talking to vendor executives about their companies' UC visions. In many cases, these were centered around some vague notion of making communication easier by bonding voice, video and chat into a unified whole. Frankly, they are all skinning the same cat, which is fine, but I don't see video-conferencing being able to sustain excitement for too long. Sure, it's all shiny and new when you first see it, but on a daily basis it becomes just another medium. Vision has to capture the imagination and propel people into action. In this sense, according to my unscientific survey of vision on Voicecon, Avaya is the clear winner.Verizon Teams With Cisco, Microsoft For SIP Trunking And Immersive Video
March 22, 2010 09:23 AM
Unified communications is more than just merging voice, video, chat and white-boarding into a platform. A Unified Communications (UC) system has to integrate with legacy telecommunications systems and provide real-time media support to clients that could include plain old telephone service (POTS), broad band, or high speed WAN links. High-definition video, the holy grail of video-conferencing, used to require room-sized systems with high-speed, dedicated WAN links, but new products from Cisco, Polycom and Tandberg are portable and easy to use. Verizon is providing the needed robust network to deliver UC service across town, country and worldwide.Avaya Targets SMEs With Newest IP Telephony Offering

Avaya also says it has made design changes that reduce the price of the product by up to 30 percent, which they hope will attract small businesses.More Companies Plan For Unified Communications See ROI
March 09, 2010 08:19 AM
Unified communications (UC) has long been touted as a money saver and productivity booster, and according to a new vendor-backed study, the technology may be making good on that promise. For the second year, technology products and services provider CDW has conducted its Unified Communications Tracking Poll, surveying 915 IT professionals in December 2009 who work on unified communications or component technologies in business, government, healthcare and education. The company conducts the survey to better understand and gauge the adoption of UC technology, which converges voice, video, and data services and software applications across the enterprise. Among a variety of technologies and services, CDW provides unified communications solutions to organizations in the private and public sectors, and has partnerships and certifications with Cisco, IBM and Microsoft.Cisco and TANDBERG Provide Technology Roadmap Update Prior to Transaction Close

Cisco and TANDBERG remain competitors until close. The companies anticipate regulatory approval in the first half of calendar year 2010.Unified Communications Platforms: The Big Crunch Theory
February 10, 2010 09:00 AM
The communications universe has exploded outward in a Big Bang that now includes billions of people creating and accessing data from mobile phone applications, internet applications and corporate documents. Our inability to efficiently share and correlate all this raw data has slowed the acceleration of human productivity. As acceleration slows, the technology will experience a Big Crunch, the collapse into unified communications platforms.Avaya Roadmap Leverages Nortel Enterprise Gear
January 22, 2010 02:52 PM
Focusing primarily on open standards and SIP, Avaya is wasting no time integrating its recently acquired Nortel Enterprise Solutions (NES) operation into its existing product mix. Avaya seems to have spent more time negotiating to buy the Nortel unit than it has in developing an integration plan, creating almost overnight a new giant in enterprise business communications. The new roadmap, outlined Tuesday, builds particularly on Avaya's existing Aura unified communications portfolio and integrates it with Nortel's enterprise solutions while offering easy upgrade paths for customers of both companies.« Previous Page | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Next Page »
