Increased Importance of Wireless Applications • 303M Wireless Subscriber Connections in U.S. as of CY10 • 45% of business decision makers state that wireless applications are important or absolutely essential to remaining competitive • Expect 15% improvement in their bottom-line in the next 12 months in terms of increased productivity or cost reduction • Improvements in the form of customer care, communications, employee efficiency and accessibility, stream-lined processes Increasingly mobile workforce National Survey by CTIA-The Wireless Association® and Harris Interactive®
Mobile Workforce Features Driving UC AdoptionOn-the-go access features especially valued *Respondents asked to select all of the UC features employees at their organization find (or expect to find) most useful**Respondents asked to select all of the UC benefits that are (or would be) most important to their organizations CDW3rd annual UC Tracking Poll, February 2011
Meanwhile, IT Complexity Challenges Still Exist • Employees in multiple locations, geographies and time zones • Maximizing employee collaboration despite travel restrictions Workforce Efficiency • Recovering from a major disaster or maintaining productivity during major weather events Business Continuity • Multiple legacy TDM, VoIP, PBX and mobile network“Islands” with non-homogeneous service capabilities Network Complexity • Reluctance to rip and replace the existing network to attainadvanced business features Migration Strategy • Consolidation and shared services versus decentralization • Outsourcing versus in-house service delivery Network Efficiency
Evolution of Business Communications in the CloudAddressing IT Complexity Challenges • IP Networking • Wireless Broadband everywhere • WiFi, 3G and 4G Wireless • Intelligent Devices • IP Phones • PC and Smartphone clients • Directory & Call Logs • Call routing / follow-me • Web services & APIs • Business Apps – complex • “App Store” momentum • Developer communities • Desktop integration • Unified messaging • IM and Presence • Media – text, voice, video • Reservation-less • Multimedia - many variants • Performance enhancing • Ready to scale in volume
