Why Asia/ Pacific Unified Communications Conference 2008?
 
As enterprises become increasingly global, they are entering a complex business environment where they need to manage employees, customers, partners who could be based anywhere in the world. The new competitive dynamics intensify the need for a more flexible and intuitive communication system that can help enterprises gain a competitive edge.
 
But, how does an enterprise bridge the current chasm of disparate communication applications and systems that do not interoperate, and multiple devices that represent separate communication modes? CIOs are under an increasing pressure to ensure that communication applications and equipment are aligned with the new business processes. They are required to build innovative solutions with limited resources. Enterprises want to protect their past investments in communication applications and yet embrace new applications such as video conferencing and multimedia contact center. Unified Communications (UC) holds the promise of meeting the many communications needs in a comprehensive manner. 
 
Unified communications is not just about integrating communication applications on to a common IP platform. It necessitates a whole new CIO mindset that sees business communication as a strategic tool for meeting business goals. It transforms commonplace business applications into smart intuitive collaborative environments for instant decision-making and fast turnaround.

IDC and its partners will educate CIOs and business managers about the following exciting topics:

  • UC's promise to meet the needs of the info-worker
