Enterprises more than ever need their workers to collaborate outside traditional offices, from fellow employees spread out across multiple offices, to field personnel in their cars, to business partners halfway around the globe. Add to this complex mobile and telework environment the high expectations of the new generation of workers for enterprises to support the way THEY want to live and work. Enabling e-mail on smartphones is just the start; users expect chat, VoIP, video, web meetings, and access to rich content to happen when and where they need it, in real time, regardless of whether it's laptop, smartphone, or custom tool, and whether they're in an office, at home, in a car, or anywhere else. Unified Communications (UC) is an increasingly critical component to making this world of Smarter Work a reality.
Malcolm Stewart will discuss examples of how enterprises today enable mobile and remote work, and the key requirements for planning real-time collaborative remote and mobile work environments. He will also touch upon how technology trends will make all of us work smarter, including communications enabled business processes and fixed-mobile convergence.
