Unified Communications Conference Oct 30 - 31, 2007 Boston, MA

Redefining Enterprise Communications

Unified Communications (UC) is changing the way we do business. The fundamental shift in our communication infrastructure and strategy options go far beyond the selections available for the device. Developing the right strategy will allow your business to flourish. On the other hand, the wrong strategy can cause disruptions that can bring your business down. Pulvermedia's Unified Communications Conference will help you understand what strategy is best for your business and how to effectively implement that strategy.

About the Event

Unified Communications is defined as "Communication integrated to optimize business processes." UC integrates real-time and non-real time communications with business processes and requirements based on presence capabilities, presenting a consistent unified user interface and experience across multiple devices and media types.

UC solutions represent a new generation of communication tools, building upon previously siloed components and tasks. UC components include messaging (email, IM, voice, video), calling (audio, video), conferencing (audio, web, video), presence, device awareness, information sharing (web chat, file sharing, document sharing), mobility, business applications, and database access, tied together with a common user interface. Tying these tools with business processes and applications makes them exponentially more useful to businesses and workers.

The communications landscape is changing, with new partnerships being drawn, and companies such as Microsoft and Google are entering the fray, while traditional switch vendors are becoming software players. Most enterprises today are preparing their networks and environments for Unified Communications, increasing the need for IP PBXs and SIP-enabled systems, while the IT / Telecom staff will add to their arsenal such functionality as rich presence IM, dual mode, VoWifi, and soft phones integrated with the PBX. They will also integrate conferencing and collaboration tools along with the evolution of e-mail to support voicemail and rich media, as well as mobility solutions.

While other events focus on some aspects of UC, Pulvermedia's event is unique because of its focus on all of these areas, highlighting the impact of applications driving UC, collaborative workspaces, Mobile Information Portals, and the leading UC solutions on the market today. The conference program will reflect this focus.

What Makes This Event Unique

The Unified Communications Conference will focus on the value, ROI and implementation strategies that companies need to be successful in adopting a Unified Communications infrastructure.

• Application Focused Case Studies
  The way to show the benefits of UC will be identified and demonstrated in a series of cases studies that explore the impact on mobility, contact centers, collaboration and business process integration.
• Technology with Purpose
  Most companies are just starting to think about deploying UC and need assistance in choosing the most appropriate solutions. The benefit has to be understood in order for the implementation to be considered successful.
• Full Cost impact
  The price cost of landlines has become fixed and come down dramatically over the past few years. Wireless, however, is still variable and expensive Our speakers are recognized as thought leaders in developing new solutions to successfully manage UC on a global scale.
