Unified Communications and Mobility: The Business Value of Extending the Office to the Mobile Worker

Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Unified communications technology provides a consistent calling experience regardless of the device being used. This can include extending advanced calling features, typically only available on the desktop, to cell phones and can allow for a single number to access both a user's desk phone as well as cell phone. Yet, the business case for acquiring this technology has always been somewhat murky. In this webinar, Nemertes analyst Mike Jude examines the use of unified communications technology to enable mobile applications and work and will provide examples of instances where unified communications combined with mobility applications improved productivity and reduced
costs.

Virtualization Security Panel

Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

As organizations deploy virtualization (server, desktop, application, network and storage) the security arms-race is moving from the physical world to the virtual world.
