  2. Cisco Vision for Unified Communications Personalized Productivity Management Intelligent MobileCommunications • Speech recognition access • IP Phone Productivity Apps • Calendar • Vmail/Email • Instant Messaging • Intelligent Voice Portal Business Infrastructure Unified Messaging • Multi-modal application access via mobile devices Single message store for voice, fax and e-mail messages • Personalized call routing rules IP Voice Mail Solutions

  3. Benefits of Cisco IP Communications Employee Productivity • Message access anywhere, any way, anytime • Unify how & where you receive calls • Powerful collaboration & applications on IP Phones • Customer Satisfaction • Increases speed and quality of responses to all types of communication • Streamline communications with speech enabled access to voice mail and contacts • Cost Reductions • Moves/adds/changes are simpler and faster • Single infrastructure to manage and maintain • Single transport infrastructure for all media:Data/voice/video • Growth-Oriented • Scalable growth and global solution • Business resiliency through redundancy

  4. Progressive Productivity—Business Benefits Increase over Time • Expanded telecommuter benefits • Any-to-any access benefits • Unified messaging benefits • Voice-integrated applications benefits • Videoconferencing benefits • Expanded Audio Conferencing collaboration • Faster moves, adds, changes • Less travel for IT and end users • Improved mobile and telecommuter worker productivity • Even further use of advanced features saves end-user time • Access in previously inaccessible places • Less premises cabling and equipment to install, manage • Increased use of basic features saves end-user, IT staff time • Less impact from disaster recovery situations Business Benefits Initial Benefits Reducing Cost Expanded Benefits Improving Business Productivity

  5. Improved Productivity and Lower TCO • Real customers - NFL Films • User save one up to one hour per day • Speed, flexibility and ease of deployment • Extension mobility = constant connectivity • $400,000 per Superbowl in deployment cost savings • Independent analyst study • Approximately 30 minutes of daily productivity gain per user • Reduced administrative costs by 70% per year • Compared to the cost of managing three messaging systems for voice mail, fax, and email • Reduced annual messaging TCO by up to $500/user

  6. Convergence Strategies There Are Three Basic Approaches to Data/Voice Network Convergence “Traditional” Voice Vendors “Next Generation” Voice Vendors “True” Convergence Integrated Boxes IP-enabled PBX/ACD • Not end-to-end IP solution • Gateways added to TDM architecture • Scalability based on cabinets • Proprietary software and IP phones • Separate voice and data systems bundled together in single chassis • Not necessarily converged architecture • Limited scalability • End-to-end IP solution • Fully converged LAN/WAN architecture • Highly scalable and centralized or distributed • Open standards-based Cisco distinguishes the difference between a “true” converged infrastructure and application strategy and a middle-of-the road strategy

  7. Important UC Considerations… • Real, customer-proven ROI (e.g. Crate & Barrel, Burger King) • True, end-to-end IP Communications • Customers get best of both worlds – true IP AND migration path • Cisco IP infrastructure proven for mission-critical applications • QoS, VLAN, VPNs, survivability, resiliency • Smooth migration path from TDM to IP • Legacy PBX and IP integration from one server • Open Standards - XML, SIP • Breakthrough multi-modal communications for more productivity • Single, integrated global source for IP communications • IP data, IP telephony, unified communications, customer contact, (AVVID); storage, security, videoconferencing, network management, content networking
