October 6, 2010 | 1:45 PM - 3:30 PM
Los Angeles Convention Center
Panelist: Frank Grillo, Executive Vice President of Implementation, Support & Marketing of Cypress Communications
Topic: Unified Communications and the Virtualized Enterprise: More Functionality, Reduced Spend
For IT executives implementing unified communications for cost savings, business process improvements, improved operational efficiencies and easier management of systems, an increasingly popular approach is seeking communications solutions in the Cloud.
Unified Communications as a Service is a logical first step in the migration path, having recently emerged as the newest way for IT to maintain communication service levels and deliver business value while reducing expenses. But, with an ever-increasing array of choices, the path to virtualization with the right blend of service and technology can be daunting, making it imperative that decision makers understand key advantages and disadvantages of the virtual enterprise in order to make an appropriate choice.
This educational session will outline a path to virtualization, starting with UCaaS or Unified Communications as a Service as the first step in a logical migration path, showing attendees how they can leverage cloud services and unified communications as a service to decrease their overall IT spend while benefitting from technology that can help them succeed.

Topic: Managed/Hosted Services for Unified Communications
Unified Communications presents such an array of technology requirements and demands, often with unproven payback, that many enterprises are considering outsourcing Unified Communications, at least until demand reaches critical mass within the enterprise user base and until standards and implementation best practices are more settled. The question is: What Unified Communications applications and functions are available in either managed or hosted offerings, and how should you decide whether it's worthwhile to go this route? In this session, we'll look at specific managed and hosted Unified Communications offerings; you'll come away with a better idea of what's available, whether it's cost justified, and what competitive advantage your business might be able to gain by moving quickly to implement these Unified Communications apps via a managed or hosted offering.

Panelist: Frank Grillo, Executive Vice President of Marketing, Cypress Communications
Topic: Unified Communications and the Virtualized Enterprise
Participating Companies: Cypress Communications, Cisco and Mitel NetSolutions
Enterprises are embracing hosted delivery models – SaaS, cloud computing, business continuity, and hosted unified communications. Cloud services have recently emerged as the newest way for IT to maintain service levels and deliver business value while reducing expenditures. And with an ever-increasing array of choices, the path to virtualization with the right blend of service and technology can be daunting. It is imperative that decision makers understand key advantages and disadvantages of the virtual enterprise in order to make an appropriate choice.
UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) is the first step in a logical migration path for moving from premises-based to a cloud services environment. UCaaS goes beyond traditional unified communications offerings by integrating traditional PBX functionality with advanced communications features such as collaboration, mobility, file sharing, and desktop video services. This session will explain how businesses can leverage cloud services and UCaaS to decrease their overall IT spend while benefitting from technologies that can help them succeed – even in a down economy.

Topic: Hosted UC Alternatives for the SMB.
SMBs want to compete with enterprises on a level playing field, deploying advanced video, hosted IP, presence, cloud computing, real-time & streaming video services and the like, without the cost and complexity of premise deployments. Today’s hosted solutions offer a means to an end — enabling SMBs to cost-effectively deploy UC services, without the headaches associated with traditional CPE deployments. In this session, the speakers will discuss critical issues hosted solutions must address — including bandwidth along the WAN link, interoperability of devices, integration of applications and devices, and cost parameters — to achieve productive, cost-effective voice, video and data communications for the SMB.
