What the Analysts say “The key sales driver in the enterprise communications market today remains infrastructure competence. But customer expectations are evolving, and it will almost certainly be applications competence that wins business in future years. Leading-edge systems like Nortel Networks MCS 5100 are becoming critical differentiators.” “Presence-aware, multimedia collaboration systems like MCS 5100 take full advantage of the unique capabilities of packet-based communications. And Nortel Networks early efforts to deliver a standards-based solution with short-term ROI should get the attention of forward-thinking customers.” —Jerry Caron, Senior Analyst, Current Analysis
Nemertes Research 2003 “As companies increasingly assess their network-convergence projects, they seek vendors who support open standards and provide for a hybrid migration strategy. Nortel Networks is well-positioned to meet those demands, giving companies the option to gradually migrate traditional voice and video traffic to a single IP network to leverage SIP multimedia applications.” —Robin Gareiss, Principal Research Officer, Nemertes Research • Integration is critical for collaboration tools to be more than just another application within an enterprise, and instead become a workplace-changing technology. • We believe that the desktop of tomorrow will be focused around instant messaging, audio, video and Web conferencing, and online workspaces, but only if the technologies all work together.

Positioning MCS 5100 in the Collaboration Market • Many niche solutions on the market from specialist vendors of instant messaging, collaboration, video etc • None offering the same integration with business telephony or full suite of services • Rival vendors announced SIP capabilities • None can deliver full suite of MCS services • Many are stories of future capability, MCS 5100 delivers today
MCS 5100 – The Competition • MCS 5100 will compete against new competitors who’s software base products have evolved with specific functions targeted to a specific audience. • MCS 5100 is a total integrated solution providing central management and control while being able to deliver advanced forms of communications. • No other single software or hardware vendor today is able to deliver the same level of capability and scalability as MCS 5100.
MCS 5100 Competitive– An entirely new landscape! Telephony Vendors – The Traditional Players • Siemens OpenScape – A Instant Messaging and Collaborative software application leveraging Microsoft Real-Time-Communications server. Much less scalability than MCS (<2000 in latest release), multi-server deployment, NO centralised management and does not support UNIX or Linux customers. Must install most of Microsoft’s server technology to implement. Much less functionality - video only just released Q3 ‘04. Advantage Nortel Networks! MCS 5100 offers customers an advanced solution from a single source supplier with no implementation mandates or requirements. • Avaya, Cisco, NEC, Alcatel and Mitel have all announced support for SIP but only in a proxy fashion with no announced support for Instant Messaging or other Collaborative Applications. Advantage Nortel Networks! MCS 5100 offers a complete suite of advanced solutions.
