UC Network Impact: Balancing Your Approach

Jeremy Littlejohn, Chief Analyst, RISC Networks
Lots of planning goes into a successful UC implementation. But are you planning for your other applications also? What impact does UC really have on the environment, and how heavy handed should you be in deploying Quality of Service? In this presentation, Jeremy Littlejohn, Chief Analyst at RISC Networks, will share insights from over 2,000 advanced network assessments that highlight the challenges faced by IT departments as they roll out UC applications. In addition, Mr. Littlejohn will discuss techniques and tools for successfully managing the mix of applications you must support on your network as you deploy UC. There is a real world, with real budgets, that exists outside of UC and QoS white papers that must be addressed and managed. Mr. Littlejohn will discuss successful approaches and potential pitfalls. This presentation is based on real world assessments of medium to large enterprise environments, and will be technical in nature.

  • Texting. Smartphones. Tablets. Oh my! Business Communications in a Mobile World Jun 20 2013 8:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    A lot has changed in the way we communicate for business. A decade ago, most organizations had employees who came to the office every day, used desktop computers and desk phones, and stopped communicating for work when they went home.

    Today, people communicate for work anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Per Forrester, sixty-six percent of employees use two or more mobile devices for work. And according to Frost & Sullivan, nearly 25 percent of employees work from home or the road. What’s more, the desk phone is not the only business device. Based on a RingCentral survey, 35 percent of employees are using their mobile phones for work even when they are in the office. And nearly 80 percent of employees text for business, with 32 percent reporting that they’ve even closed a business deal via text.

    Even with these undeniable business behavior changes, the vast majority of companies haven’t optimized their communications infrastructure for mobile workforces or BYOD.

    Join this webinar to get ahead of the pack and learn the benefits of a cloud communications solution that supports the new world of work.

    •Understand the trends driving mobility and behavior changes in the work place, with Melanie Turek, VP of Research for Enterprise Communication & Collaboration, Frost & Sullivan.

  • High Performance Wireless for BYOD: The Task in Hand Recorded: Jan 17 2013 47 mins
    BYOD is no longer a consideration, it’s a reality. Every day over 2 million new wireless devices are being activated and these devices will show up on you network. And while most wireless vendors are talking about the potential security risks, which are considerable, almost no one is discussing the impact the sheer numbers of devices will have on your networks performance.

    A recent Gartner study did and stated that ‘By 2015, 80% of newly installed wireless networks will be obsolete because of a lack of proper planning’. Many administrators still designing for coverage, when capacity limits are the true Achilles heel of wireless deployments. This session will discuss the varied client types and their capabilities, best practices to address growing device densities and how both impact overall network performance. IT administrator looking at a BYOD deployment or even just a wireless upgrade will gain valuable insight from this presentation.
