How to Build an Early Warning System – UC Strategies article

UC StrategiesTwo identical companies offering the same basic service in close proximity to each other is a daily experience in today’s competitive environment. In many instances, copying what someone else does well has replaced innovation. This has given rise to a new concept of service design that leads organizations to design and deliver service based on collaborative methods to beat seemingly identical competitors. Service design requires hard facts, data that gives decision makers the framework for strategic decisions. Customer interaction analytics, or “Voice of the Customer” (VoC) analytics as it is more commonly being referred to in an age where customer centricity is almost synonymous with viability, is the framework that provides real tangible facts about the customer experience. VoC analytics looks at the entire customer experience, an outside-in approach if you wish.

We need more UC vendors, not less – article on UC Strategies

Regarding Microsoft’s resent move to acquire Skype, I must say that the choir is astoundingly in agreement. The acquisition of Skype by Microsoft is a great move by Microsoft in many ways; it is a strategic move for its Office 365 offering, it is a great add-on to its Lync product line and it can introduce any number of Skype features into its other product lines, such as Xbox and Windows Mobile. And I agree. I am part of the same choir in that way. The communications market is in need of more consolidation, not because there are too many vendors providing enterprise voice solutions, but because the innovation is gone and new entrants provide the same basic functionality using other technologies, e.g. mobile networks and cloud solutions. But UC still needs more innovating vendors, not less.

Presence enabled communication

Presence is probably the single most important tool to enable a more effective and efficient communication within and between enterprises and organizations. Presence will allow users to get an immediate view of who is available in the company to have a quick meeting or set up a conference call with. Many surveys show that presence and instant messaging (IM) gives employees the same feeling of quick instantaneous meetings at the coffee-machine that allows them to get fast responses and resolve issues collaboratively.

What to consider when using Presence and instant messaging as a way to create a more effective communication within an organization.

Mobile World Congress 2011 – the gadgets and the trends so far…

The saying “All roads lead to Rome”, could for this week be changed to “All communication roads lead to Barcelona.” The big names in mobility are there; Ericsson, Nokia, Microsoft, RIM, Motorola, Broadcom, Alcatel-Lucent, ZTE Corporation and Huawei and more, but also IT heavy weights such as Google’s Eric Schmidt, Paul Otellini from Intel and Cisco’s John Chanmbers. The line between IT and mobility feels like they are officially gone. More and more users choose mobile devices to access the Internet, so it is not surprising that so many choose to visit this gigantic event.

Check out my report from Mobile World Congress.
