Communications as a Service (CaaS) – now a real option for enterprise organisations

Marcus Jewell, Enterprise Director - Mitel

Thursday 11 March 11:50 AM - 12:20 PM

If you associate hosted or managed voice services with feature-deficient Centrex type solutions, it’s time to think again. By de-coupling enterprise class communications software from hardware, enterprise organisations now have unprecedented flexibility in how to deploy their voice communication services. Whether via traditional IP-PBX, on industry standard servers, in a virtualised environment or as a fully-featured managed service, voice Communications as a Service (CaaS) has finally arrived in enterprise class form.

PANEL DEBATE: Does UC Matter?

Adrian Brookes, VP - Office of the CTO - Siemens Enterprise Communications

Brendan Buckingham, Unified Communication Leader - NE Europe - IBM

Chris Holmes, Head of Vodafone Business Services - Vodafone Business Services

Lee Shorten, Managing Director, UK and Ireland - Avaya

Marcus Jewell, Enterprise Director - Mitel

Mark Summerson, General Manager, Unified Communications - BT Global Services

Peter King, Office Server Group Director - Microsoft UK

Rob Bamforth, Principal Analyst - Quocirca Ltd

Wednesday 10 March 13:10 PM - 14:20 PM

So far the combined marketing efforts of vendors have made Unified Communications look slick on paper and even indicative of a paradigm shift in enterprise communications. However on the buyer side some confusion remains about what exactly is on offer beyond IP telephony...and there is a strong feeling that suppliers are unable to demonstrate the benefits unified communications will bring to their businesses.

This debate is the chance for businesses to get clarity from the vendor community of how Unified Communications can translate into the real benefits that most customers are actually looking for…and an opportunity for evangelists within the vendor community to respond to the challenge from businesses that Unified Communications is simply a marketing term designed to repackage old promises.

Service Oriented Architecture, mash ups and the Cloud: The future of business transformation

Kurt Jacobs, Director of Global Markets - NEC Sphere

Over the recent years, the business service delivery and infrastructure leaders have not been afraid to embrace technology as an enabler to various initiatives, many of which have had a specific focus on service delivery or joining up the many facets of the organisation. But the challenges facing those responsible for selecting and realising the benefits of the enabling technology are becoming increasingly complex.

The Quandary of Unified Communications Security

Zeev Pritzker, Co-founder, VP business development - VibeSec Ltd.

Thursday 11 March 15:10 PM - 15:40 PM

Implementation Unified Communications in the enterprise environment brings with it a host of new security issues that cannot be dealt with using existing IT security measures. The new security and fraud prevention challenges associated with UC include threats of conversion from TDM to VoIP, convergence threats, application interaction, increase in external attack surface, hosted UC service vulnerabilities and UC security management. The complexity and the sheer number of the UC-specific security issues create a knowledge gap for IT and security managers. After a review of the main classes of vulnerabilities and highly probable UC-specific attacks, a case will be presented for deployment of a comprehensive UC security solution rather than motley of data-oriented security measures

Banco de Córdoba adopts new standards for mobile business solutions.

The national financial institution Banco de Córdoba, which is headquartered in the Argentine metropolis of Córdoba, was looking for a mobile solution that would improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its operations. The crux of the matter: As soon as mobile employees required information from the corporate network, they had to make long telephone calls to their office-based colleagues or turn on their laptops and open a VPN connection to access the network. Thus, valuable working time was continuously being lost. With the shadow of the financial crisis looming large, the Banco de Córdoba was faced with the challenge of minimising such losses whilst increasing the efficiency of its operations, regardless of time or location.

Outside the perimeter of the business location additional controls need to be added to a mobile IT deployment to ensure the security and integrity of data on the device and netwpork access. Balancing the need for control with flexibility given to the user requires care and attention to both strategy and implementation.

Mobile users have many challenges facing them as they try to work outside of a managed and familiar working environment. Too many constraints and challenges can distract and divert users from the task at hand, meaning that productivity gains hoped for by the deployment of the technology will be lost.

This paper looks at how to get the best out of mobile productivity and how to avoid the six most common mobililty pitfalls during the planning and excecution of mobile implementations.

In order to understand the issues, challenges and concerns surrounding the deployment and utilization of wireless networks, HIMSS Analytics conducted two focus groups in March 2009 with senior IT executives who have implemented wireless networks. Institutions represented in the focus groups range from large (1,000+ bed) urban health systems to small (100 bed) rural organizations. All of the participants manage IT for diversified healthcare companies with hospitals, sub-acute, ambulatory and home health operations. The findings from those focus groups are outlined in this white paper.

Comparing Mobile VPNs

NetMotion Wireless

Traditional approaches for encrypting data in transit such as IPSec and SSL are intended for wired networks with high-speed, highly reliable connections. In a mobile wireless network environment where data transmission speeds are slower and connections less reliable, traditional VPN performance suffers, frequently causing application failure, data loss and reduced productivity.

This White Paper explains in detail why IPSec and SSL VPNs fail to meet the needs of highly mobile workers, and how a Mobile VPN, such as NetMotion Mobility XE succeeds where legacy technologies fail.

Giving mobile clinicians electronic access to patient data at the point-of-care has great benefits, whether in a hospital campus, outpatient clinic, home-care setting or in-the-field for emergency response. But it requires consideration for the unique realities of a medical setting. Security is critical, as is transparency for users who focus on serving patients rather than dealing with technologies.

Read this NetMotion Industry Spotlight to explore the special requirements of mobile healthcare environments including coverage concerns, device security, application reliability and management challenges. You’ll learn how Mobility XE supports the medical mission by allowing clinicians to access and update vital information, while freeing them to focus on what matters most: their patients.

The two main tools we use for communicating - telephone and e-mail have traditionally existed in isolated silos, independent of each other. Over time some of these technologies have been integrated - voice and IP data network, voice messaging and e-mail , video and the IP data network etc. However until now nothing has integrated all these technologies into a single, easy to manage communications solution that can be used in a controlled business environment.

Unified Communications is a concept used to describe the coming together of devices and applications used to enrich how we communicate with each other, increase our productivity, enable more efficient team collaboration and to streamline business processes.

As an integrated solution Unified Communications can greatly increase the productivity of an organisation, allowing users to make decisions on how to communicate with each other, based on the detailed presence status of the person or people they want to contact.

A tale of two technologies
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and other IT managers straddle two worlds – not because
they want to, but because they have to.
First, there is the world of the data center. Its servers and other hardware components, and
the business applications that run on them, are the backbone of the organization. They turn
the reams of data that companies generate and collect into the information they need to
understand and operate the business.
Then, there is the world of telephony. Here, voice applications ensure that the people whose
performance determines how well the organization does, how effectively it competes, and
whether it succeeds or fails, communicate with one another in myriad ways to ensure that
information is understood and acted on. Even in today’s high-tech world, voice
communication is the beating heart of the business.

A key challenge faced by enterprise IT management is how to ensure the productivity of the growing population of mobile workers. A successful mobile deployment can empower mobile workers with the resources they need to be effective at the point of service, resulting in a more productive workforce, expedited customer service, happier customers and increased revenue. Selecting the right mobile solutions and managing today’s mobile enterprise, however, is not a simple task. Successful mobile deployments require IT management to take a holistic approach managing all elements of the mobile deployment, including applications, wireless networks and devices.

This white paper describes how Quality of Service (QoS) can enable organizations to maximize mobile worker productivity and fully leverage the benefits of their mobile deployments.
