Partner Solutions

The Internet has changed. The adoption of popular consumer-oriented real-time communications and Web 2.0 applications within enterprise networks has significantly altered the way many workers approach business collaboration today. As employers recognize the productivity gains from their use, demand for similar enterprise class applications increases. As a result, a growing number of organizations are deploying and extending solutions such as IBM Sametime, and Cisco Unified Presence.

But the assumption that consumer-oriented applications will be eliminated once a UC platform is deployed is little more than wishful thinking. In practice, the UC environment will be a hybrid of these consumer-type applications that early adopters have introduced to the organization, a standard UC platform such as OCS/Lync, and a mix of other UC providers focusing on VoIP and video/Web conferencing. In fact, leading analyst group Gartner suggests that mid-to-large organizations depend on anywhere from seven to twelve strategic UC vendors to provide critical capabilities for their businesses.

It is highly likely that the existing communications and collaborative applications installed inside the company will remain in use. For example, ongoing meetings with suppliers may have been established using WebEx for Web conferencing, corporate offices may already be using Cisco VoIP, collaboration may be fostered using Microsoft SharePoint. In addition, now introduced to the benefits of features such as presence, users frequently start using unsanctioned public real-time communications and Web 2.0 applications such as Skype, Twitter, and LinkedIn to ensure continuous non-restricted conversations with partners and customers.
