You'll get practical advice about the best approach to roll out UC in a cost-effective manner, specific applications that can give businesses the most bang for their buck, and fast and successful implementation strategies.


Editorial Keynote Session :  Five ways UC can help your business survive the recession

One of the many benefits of UC is a rapid ROI measure in months or weeks. A bigger long-term goal is that UC ultimately streamlines business processes and operational costs across a corporation. So a smart investment in UC now can save your company money almost immediately and also give your organization a large competitive advantage coming out of the economic downturn. In this keynote presentation, our expert speaker will outline five things you can act on now that will reap benefits both short and long term. We’ll cover:

  • How UC can cut costs on travel, mobility and teleworking expenses, and how to choose products/systems
  • Identifying and communications-enabling the critical applications and bottlenecks that will provide the most payback
  • Building on UC capabilities that may already exist in your email or telephony systems
  • Finding and maximizing as many integration points as possible
  • Leveraging new services such as SIP trunking to reduce costs
