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.

There is an IT storm building, powered by elements of Social Applications, User Generated Content, Ad hoc Workflow, Unified Communications, Mobility etc and it will completely change the business landscape for those who embrace it early on. This session is a serve “weather warning”, challenging some accepted thinking and looking at the impact and benefits of the coming change.

How today's organisations can leverage flexible work practices and bring remote workers together wherever they are located, through the latest in Unified Collaboration solutions.

In this session you will get a look at the next generation of this platform through a series of demos. Brett will demonstrate how one can extend the Office Communicator experience into your Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight applications using new controls. He will also highlight how the UC Managed API 3.0 provides access to the new Voice-over-IP features of Communication Server.

travel from many of its 11,000 staff, but compromised Amey’s commitment to cut its

“Lots of people were driving long distances for fairly short, routine meetings” says
Keith Sexton, Amey’s Director of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality. “This brings
fairly significant safety risks, not to mention lost productive time.” Consequently,
Amey started investigating video conferencing.

The company has long championed the use of technology as a productivity enhancer, and to that end, a decision was taken to implement a series of Microsoft-based Unified Communications (UC) and collaboration technologies
that could deliver on the objective of providing users with a real boost to their productivity, to improve efficiency and provide the business with a competitive edge enabled by their UC strategy.

Traditional videoconferencing systems – those that have been available for the past 10-15 years – have provided organisations with the ability to meet face-to-face over distance. For most people the quality of the interaction has been tolerable, but not always as enjoyable or productive as meeting in person. In many cases the overall poor quality of the video, such as blurry resolution, pixelated images and low motion handling, did not make the use of the technology seamless or desirable. These were the users that opted to not use video at all or, worse, found it to be a very painful experience.

The video communications industry is undergoing an exciting transformation. High definition (HD) video communication has made traditional videoconferencing virtually obsolete. Every form of video is moving to high definition – no longer should any video communication investment be made without the capability to use higher definition at low bandwidths.

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.

Telepresence, a vivid, true-to-life experience based on high definition (HD) video communications, promises to dramatically enhance business performance in the coming years. The quality, simplicity and manageability of this new medium promise far greater usage and value than traditional videoconferencing.

It’s not uncommon for decision-makers to be immediately captivated as they experience the striking realism of telepresence. It’s a visceral, intuitive reaction. “I want that,” they say.

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.

InTechnology's Hosted OCS service provides a professional instant messaging (IM) and presence service for real-time communication across an organisation.

With presence, staff can significantly reduce the time it takes to make or receive business-critical decisions, by enabling colleagues to see one another's availability. This then allows colleagues to make contact using Instant Messaging or by phone.

Whether your staff are based in a single office or across multiple sites, even across the world, the combination of presence and IM can help improve productivity, drive business efficiencies and build a more agile organisation.

Hosted OCS can also be upgraded to include hosted IP telephony, which allows staff to make and receive phone calls directly from their Microsoft Office Communicator client.
