UC Trends
Steve and Larry, if we’re talking about carrier offerings, we couldn’t agree more that Mobile UC is far off in the distant future. But as far as an enterprise solution – that is controlled and managed by corporate IT – Mobile UC is already here today. There is no carrier dependency with a vendor-agnostic, enterprise solution like DiVitas. Furthermore, the ubiquity of 3G is definitely not a hurdle to Mobile UC’s success. For DiVitas’ part, we work seamlessly over 2G and 2.5G (both available in the U.S.), and also over 3G in Europe (where the network technology is more advanced.)
All of the pieces of the Mobile UC ecosystem are now in place (and available today) for a solution like DiVitas to work.
· FMC (seamless roaming between WiFi and cellular)
· UC apps (IM, presence, email, contacts, etc.)
· Portable PBX deskphone functions (reachable by a single number and on a single mobile phone that behaves exactly as your deskphone)
All that’s left is for companies to realize the productivity gains Mobile UC can bring.
