UC

I’m often asked, “Who owns UC?” What Nemertes finds is network and telecom groups are the primary decision makers for 61% of participating organizations, while 12% of participants have actually established cross-functional UC planning teams consisting of members of not only network and telecom, but also messaging, server, security and compliance, and key business units. We’ve tracked a slow, but gradual rise in organizations with dedicated UC teams with approximately 8% of companies having such teams in 2008. Just getting started with UC? Build a cross-functional UC planning organization designed to gather requirements from IT and end-users alike.
