CIOs have to support business strategy, while at the same time, they’re under
pressure to cut costs and gain efficiencies. The reality is, IT departments spend too
much time on administration and not enough on innovation. In most organizations,
up to 70 percent of time and costs are spent “keeping the lights on.”

Until now, voice telephony and virtualization might have been on different planets,
so far apart were they. In the data center, voice technology was in a closet of its own,
and managed with a separate set of hardware, processes, staff, and technologies.
Now, this is changing. With the combined power of virtualization and unified
communications, mission-critical voice applications are joining enterprise business
applications in the mainstream data center.

All of the recent hype in the mobile industry has been around the iPhone. But with the unveiling of the open-source, license-free mobile operating system Google Android, that is destined to change.

And why is that so?

There has been much hype surrounding the latest product offering from Apple – the iPad. On Wednesday 27th January 2010, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that the product would begin shipping in March 2010 to customers in the United States with international rollout, whilst unconfirmed by Apple, expected to follow soon after. Apple claims that the iPad falls under a totally new genre of device, and is positioning the product somewhere between the laptop computer and the mobile smart phone.

The iPad is being priced according to this market positioning, with US prices ranging from $499 to $829. International pricing is yet to be announced which will clearly affect the uptake of the device. If the market does not respond as favourable to Apple’s initial proposition, there is currently speculation that the pricing may be dropped to increase the uptake.

Think about how the iPad will feel in your hand. Is it really just a ‘large iPhone’ or is it an opportunity to create a brand new interface with your content? Web has traditionally been a 3 to 4 vertical column set up, mobile a 1 vertical column set up, but the iPad has a dynamic, flexible grid like structure that opens up great new interface opportunities. Of course content creators can treat it like a large iPhone, but those content owners who create a unique interface that captivates consumers will win. As content moves to become ubiquitous it is the user interface that will define choice of content provider. Make sure your interface is so great that consumers will pay for it and can’t wait to virally share it with their friends.

As VoIP becomes more prevalent as a replacement for traditional PSTN connections, how to handle fax traffic becomes more and more of an issue. If you are thinking that you can just plug your fax machine into your IP telephony system, you will be disappointed. Fax imposes special demands on VoIP networks because the standards used for fax transmission are designed to exploit features of switched circuits that do not fit within the parameters of most VoIP equipment.

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.
