3:15 – 4:15 pm – Presence – Current Progress and Future Trends

Presence is the heart of unified communications and, some would argue, of all next-generation enterprise communications. But presence loses much of its value if it’s implemented within discrete systems that can’t exchange information with each other – between different systems within an enterprise, between partner companies, with customers, and between public and private networks. In addition to exchange issues, there are important trends in providing richer presence content, automating status, and in the development of rules and policy engines that govern who is accessible to whom and under what conditions. This session will explore these topics and examine progress on these important functionality issues.

3:15 – 4:15 pm – Developing Voice Apps Using Mashups and SOA

What’s a voice mashup, and why should you care? This session will explain how different application and services elements can be combined in an ad hoc manner by end users drawing upon enterprise resources, to create “mashups.” We’ll look at the uses for mashups, where the elements of a mashup come from, and how they can benefit end users and your enterprise.

8:00 – 9:45 am – Web 2.0 and Enterprise Communications – Fad or the Future?

Improved collaboration is one of the key benefits of next-generation communications technology. The range of systems and tools available for next-gen collaboration is vast—from ad hoc, Web-based social networking to large enterprise platforms for information sharing, integrated with communications platforms. In this session, we’ll look at social networking and enterprise collaboration—where the two intersect, where they diverge, and what it means for the systems you’ll deploy to help your workers collaborate more effectively and securely.
