Frost & Sullivan: Sourcing Collaboration in the Cloud

Frost & Sullivan: Sourcing Collaboration in the Cloud PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Sept. 27, 2012 The latest trends and opportunities in cloud collaboration to be presented and discussed at Interop New York 2012 MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Most major collaboration capabilities are now available as cloud-based hosted services — anything from private branch exchange-style (PBX-style) call control to video conferencing can be procured as a service instead of building it in-house from customer premises equipment (CPE). Frost & Sullivan's Unified Communications & Collaboration Program Director Elka Popova examines which functions are ready for prime time in the cloud, which are the most cost- effective when purchased as a service rather than implemented as CPE, and what factors affect decision-making in this process during her presentation at Interop New York, taking place Oct. 1-5, 2012 at the Javits Convention Center in New York, New York. In this session, taking place at 10:30 a.m. EDT on Oct. 4 during Interop New York, Popova will look at a range of collaboration capabilities, while focusing on some of the core applications including enterprise call control, contact center enablement, and video. In addition to Popova, attendees of this presentation will receive insight from the Open Visual Communications Consortium (OVCC), which is an industry-wide group that supports key players in video.
