CMA FOCUS DAY – UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS
Date: Monday 3rd April
Venue: Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), Whitehall, London SW1A 2ET
Unified communications solutions converge real-time voice, Web, video, and data collaboration tools over a single IP network and create a new, productivity-enhancing paradigm for the enterprise and its employees while at the same time rationalising business communications, improving customer care and reducing overhead costs.
This focus day will discuss the experiential benefits offered by the new world of unified IP conferencing, focus on recommendations for better preparing enterprises to take full advantage of these workplace technologies, and will demonstrate how companies can deploy unified collaborative communications (audio, video, web and data collaboration) to break down all distance, time and media barriers.
