  • This is not collaboration hype from years past, when the UC&C markets main growth drivers remained: n CFOs saving money via telephony replacement and

    n CIOs, CMOs, and call center leaders scrambling to cope with the latest devices and applications adopted by end users inside and customers and partners outside the enterprise.

    Karls very genuine enthusiasm and sentiment were echoed, across the board, in more than two dozen in-depth interviews Rik and I conducted with top executives in the unified com-munications and collaboration marketplace prior to, during, and immediately following the UBM-produced Enterprise Connect, now celebrating its 25th anniversary.

    Following are 10 trends in unified communications and collaboration technologies that stood out to me and Rik as we conducted our interviews.

    1. SmileYoure on Camera.Perhaps were still just drinking the Kool Aid and

    preaching to the already converted, but after years, nay, decades, of video being the next cool thing, but

    still tantalizingly just around the next bend every-one we talked to says were reaching the tipping point

    for video in businessand to prove it (see next trend) theyre using it themselves.

    In the past six months, weve seen a 200 percent increase in usage of our service, and the number of (Microsoft) Lync users has gone to 25 percent of our business, said Videxios Hantho.

    Yes, senior execs from global companies have been leading adopters of video in the enterprise. But what about cultural resistance of the workforce, especially women, to being on camera? We questioned virtually every executive we talked to at the conferenceman or womanabout their personal reaction to increasingly common mandates that they use vid-eo. The typical response? It was uncomfortable at first, but after a week, I was fine, said Brianna Woon, senior manager of corporate communications and a social media specialist at Polycom. Briana facilitated our interview with Jim Kruger, the companys widely respected CMO and EVP of market-ing, who said he spends hours each day on camera and now conducts virtually all of his meetings via video.

    At Polycomwhose voice devices have been ubiquitous in conference rooms for 25 yearsour main line of business is now video conferencing, noted Kruger, though he added, we still have our gold line of telephony desktop phones sold through partners such as Genband and Broadsoft.

    2. Eating Our Own Dog Food.Some of vendors best use casesand proofs-of-concept,

    such as enterprise video adoptioncome from their use of technology provided by partners and their own

    companies.

    We heard many other compelling customer use cases in our interviews, but technology providers often demon-

    strated their apps and platforms using their own companies as reference users. For instance, we talked to Mike Reinhart, senior product marketing manager at 8x8, a cloud-based business phone, call center, and unified communications company thats pushing into the large enterprise space from its deep roots in small-to-midmarket businesses (and itself is a midsize user of its own platform).

    See, I can drill down to the individual call level, Mike said, demonstrating with 8x8s own live applications how, whether in a video room or via the desktop or out on the golf course with his smart phone, he effortlessly taps into the full func-tionality of 8x8s applications and platformsfrom virtual office desktop, on-demand conference calls, and other UC applications including built-in presence, to contact center and sales force monitoring, quality control, and analytics.

    3. A-B-C, Its Easy as 1-2-3 Simplicity and usability were the mantra wherever we

    wentwhether we looked at vendors offerings from the (formerly) bewildered end user perspective, or

    from the perspective of countless CIOs whove spent years grappling with disparate technologies and stan-

    dards.

    We barged into the Prysm booth to meet with VP of Marketing Tim Messegee, but he was busy demoing for a pro-spective customer. So we grabbed CEO Amit Jain for a demo of his companys massive 16-foot video wall.

    Theres no user manualjust learn four commands and youre on your way, Amit enthused. I will teach them to you now and you will remember them. Indeed, a week later, as

  • I wrote this blog, Rik and I both had no trouble recalling all four commands. We want to be user rich, not feature rich, Jain explained.

    4. SIPping from the Firehose?Next year marks the 20th anniversary since the design of

    the session initiation protocol. After years of gradual commercialization, the UC&C marketplace appears

    to have reached a pivotal point in the uptake of SIP trunking.

    Only one in five US companies, and a lower percentage in Europe, has adopted SIP trunking, I was surprised to

    learn from a recent blog post by Kevin Riley, VP of platform engineering and engineering fellow at Sonus. http://www.sonus.net/en/company/blog/seven-telco-industry-predic-tions-for-2015. But SIP trunking is mainstream now and definitely in high growth mode. Rik and I sat down with Tata Communications Anthony Bartolo, president of mobility and collaboration services, and Peter Quinlan, vice president for UCC product management.

    SIP trunking is huge for usits flourishing because of pure economics, explained Anthony, describing the SIP trunk as a tree to decorate with new UC&C offerings. Theres a conver-gence of services you can hang on a SIP trunk. Furthermore, he argued, modularity is key. Vendors might desire the ease of homogeneous customer environments, he explained, but multinational customers want you to execute their strategy. Now we build all our services in modular fashion, so custom-ers can consume as they need them.

    5. Prime Time for Real Time Communications.I went to Enterprise Connect thinking that WebRTC

    was important but still quite nascent. Technically, thats trueits still an emerging standard. But virtual-

    ly every vendor appears on board the adoption train as WebRTC starts to gain commercial traction.

    Were huge fans of WebRTC, noted Bartolo, citing Tatas recent launch of Click2RTC among other services enabled

    by the standard.

    Collaborative Age Founding Partner InGate Systems, a pioneering provider of SIP trunking technology such as its session border controllers, also has embraced the technology and is actively involved in WebRTC standards development.

    For some time, the Sweden-based InGate has sponsored the SIP Trunking, UC and WebRTC conference-within-a-confer-ence at IT Expos East and West.

    (Late January, after dodging New England snow storms, I had the pleasure of speaking at this conference in Miami on The Business Requirements of Collaboration. This was a follow-up from last fall, when Steven Johnson, InGates New Hampshire, USA-based president, moderated our first Col-laborative Age webinar on the same topic. I then moderated Steves Collaborative Age webinar discussing the business implications of WebRTC.)

    The real promise of WebRTC is seamless person-to-per-son communication, said Steve in a conversation with me a couple of weeks before we both again departed the cold US northeast to warm up in Orlando last week. WebRTC lets people collaborate in an ad hoc way with both video and voice. We hear a lot about it with call centersclick- to-talk from web sites using audio or audio and video. We think it has a lot of benefit to people trying to collaborate with their own employees in offices or at home in this post-industrial age. And theres a lot of opportunity to collaborate with their vendors, customers, and partners on projects or partner-ships.

    6. Virtually Everything Is Going Virtual.Even in industries such as insurance and financial

    services, where protection of personally identifiable information (PII) is paramount, everything including

    mission-critical applications, platforms, and infra-structure is soaring off-premise, flying headfirst into the

    cloud, and morphing into a service.

    A few days after Enterprise Connect concluded, I caught up with Bill Scudder, the CIO of Sonus, which provides hard-ware and cloud solutions to enterprises and carriers and had a significant footprint on the expo floor. Heres yet another vendor that walks the talkadopting the same technologies it offers customers.

    My view is everything is going to be in the cloudevery-thing from infrastructure to apps will be outside of the four walls, said Scudder, who started at Sonus six years ago and has headed relentlessly toward the cloud ever since. The first thing we started doing was moving our applications to the cloud. Other than Oracle financials, everything we have runs in the cloud. He also recently completed an enterprise

  • deployment of Microsoft Lyncachieving a remarkable three-month payback on the investment.

    Whats next on Bills on-premise hit list? Now Im on a cru-sade to move our infrastructure to the cloudthat includes storage, servers, were now using Amazon and Azure from Microsoft, he enthuses.

    Even session border controllers (which Sonus provides its customers)? The SBC goes a number of places. If youre con-necting to a bunch of cloud network providers, you might still put an SBC within your four walls. But it could be managed by the provideror you may choose to manage it yourself.

    However, well live in a hybrid world for a long time in great part because theres still a lot of on-prem equipment to utilize as it depreciates (or else the CIO catches hell from the CFO). CIOs also have told me that, aside from PII security, there are other reasons to maintain direct control of some technologiesfor example, a CIO might develop innovative applications and technologies in house, vs. renting from the cloud, to gain competitive advantage and more clearly differentiate customer experience. However, that approach underscores the value of putting most everything else in the cloudsuch a forward-thinking CIO isnt interested in owning anything that doesnt give his or her enterprise a competitive edge.

    7. Welcome to Disruption Junction.Disruption abounds in the world of telecommunications

    providers and across most industries and businesses end usersand the UC&C marketplace itself is seeing

    the same level of extraordinary disruption as you see in other areas of high technology. New entrants are going

    head-to-head with industry giants and those giants in turn can behave like entrepreneurial startups as they seek

    to reinvent themselves to remain relevant.

    At a cocktail party, one exec joked about this years hottest startup branding trend (end your new companys name with io, as in Videxio or Twillio). She claimed that 40 percent of exhibitors were new this year to the Enterprise Connect show floor. Rik and I certainly saw a plethora of companies we didnt see last year in Orlandoand some previous years upstarts (like the wildly growing cloud videoconferencing provider Blue Jeans) talk about the crucial importance of maintaining their startup culture even as they grow by leaps and bounds.

    We interviewed product manager Jeff Beckham (smartly clad in denim, of course) whos been at the company for two years and described how Blue Jeans videoconferences its offices and employees worldwide for a weekly gong call, institutionaliz-ing the iconic way so many startups celebrate new customer wins since it would be obnoxious now to hit the companys gong with every win.

    8. Howdy, Pardner, Lets Go to Market.No one goes it alone any more, as every UC&C player

    from startups to market leaders forge strategic allianc-es and collaborative channel partnerships to reduce

    risk, drive growth, and deliver integrated customer solutions amidst incessant technology and industry

    disruption.

    High tech and telecom companies are among the worlds leading practitioners of partneringnot just selling through channel partners, but forging lasting multiyear strategic alli-ances such as the decade-long partnership between Polycom and Microsoft (the two companies announced a major part-ner initiative around Lync and Skype for Business on stage this year).

    Multipartner alliancesor multialliances for shortare pro-liferating as well. For instance, to deliver a unified customer experience for its global customers, in 2008 leading systems integrator SPS forged a the Intelligent Communications Alliance, bringing together four systems integrators who maintain a single point of contact--one throat to chokefor the customer, explains Linda Amatucci, marketing develop-ment specialist for SPS.

    Exciting new business models are emerging toosuch as Genbands Fring Alliance, structured as an equity-based multiparty alliance with Genband holding majority inter-est and partners investing the platform-as-a-service (built on Genbands Kandy platform) and reaping the benefits of critical mass.

    9. Collaboration Finally Has a Buyer.Ushered in by the information era, the collaborative age

    is supplanting the industrial age right before our eyes. Among vendors and many of their customers, UC&C

    technologies are now widely understood as critical en-ablers of collaboration, which in turn is rapidly emerging

    F E A T U R E S T O R Y

    CA DigEST | VOL 1 2015

  • as the predominant management discipline of 21st century businesses, nonprofits, and governments.

    I can recall discussions from nearly 10 years ago, when I wrote articles monthly for Avayas worldwide customer newsletter. Talking with and to senior executive audiences at the time (CIOs and call center leadership in particular), our articles and thought leadership pieces explored a plethora of cool collaborative applications (from customer/user experi-ence to telemedicine to field sales enablement) that would be made possible and affordable through SIP, presence, and IP telephony in general.

    But its taken a long time for the enterprise and carrier telecom buyers to seriously focus on collaborative solu-tionsaside from substantial enablement and integrated management of multichannel communications in customer contact, which I would consider to be a definite step toward collaborative customer interaction. Rather, until recently, vendors would quietly tell me that collaboration technology has been the softest area of their business. Saving moneyvia telephony upgrades and integrated communications man-agementhas remained the most important driver of UC&C technology adoption, both in the increasingly stingy large enterprise arena and in the increasingly willing-to-spend SMB space.

    Im not knocking ROI by any meanscost reduction and demonstrable savings from direct efficiencies remain critical to justifying new investments. But the real game-changing opportunity, the meta story if you will, has always been to tap the potential for technology to enable seamless collabora-tionacross geography, at greater and greater scale, not only within but between and among organizations.

    Technology [that enables collaboration] is blowing up industrial management, agreed Genbands CIO turned CMO Brad Bush as we enjoyed the morning sun with several of his colleagues in the atrium of the Gaylord Palms resort and con-vention center. Technology enables collaboration by putting ubiquitous communications in the business momentthere-by making collaboration on the fly, with anyone anywhere, as easy as walking to the next cube and talking. Moreover, he added, for business leaders now, so much is tied to collabo-ration with the customer, and every executive needs strategic partners.

    Sure enough, buyers for collaboration technologies are emerging in droves, not because UC&C companies continue

    to develop and push cool applications, but because CEOs and senior business leaders in every enterprise function are scrambling to figure out how to foster and manage collabora-tionacross their organization, with partners and suppliers and distributors, and most importantly with the customer. These collaboration buyers include CIOs and contact center managers, as well as biz dev, marketing and sales, human resources, operations and supply chain, leaders of R&D and innovation, even facilities management, according to Jeff Lowe, CMO at SMART Technologies, the first UC&C compa-ny to become Collaborative Age Founding Partner.

    As a passionate proponent of business collaboration, Jeff talked about the importance of the Chief Collaboration Offi-cernot necessarily someone with the title, but the leader in an organization who is a champion of collaborative thinking and culture, not just technology. Smart collaborative leaders understand that collaboration of all types must be approached first as a business management disciplineand then must be enabled by the integration, use (and reuse) of existing and emerging technologies.

    10. More Bang than Ever for the Customers Buck.

    Theres still big, big money to be made selling new and disruptive technologies, but less and less from giant deployments in well-heeled enterprises. As unified

    communications and collaboration technologies relentlessly evolve to mostly cloud-based provision of

    services, costs (especially tied to capital investments) are being relentlessly driven out of enterprises and service

    providers businesses. Thats also great news for my com-panyand millions of other small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) that now can access sophisticated collaboration-en-abling services and leverage technology at lower and lower cost as each year passes.

    Take telepresencethe most sophisticated application of burgeoning video technologies. Done well, telepresence is a remarkable enabler of real-time business collaboration across geography. But while they are increasingly easy to use, telepresence suites often still suffer from two critical draw-backs. First, systems that deliver a first-rate user experience can cost a fortunea quarter- to a half-million US dollars is not uncommon for a single suite. Second, theyre amazing for face-to-face communications with remotely based virtual par-

  • ticipants, but often folks sitting physically in the same room are positioned for the benefit of cameras and cant see and communicate with each other easily. Multiple pan-tilt-zoom cameras can alleviate the situation, but that adds more capital costs as well as the operational costs of streaming multiple codecs.

    Array Telepresence aims to conquer both cost and experi-ence problems in one neat hardware package. In one of our first interview/demo meetings at Enterprise Connect, Rik and I were seated around a conference table with four other execs, including Howard Lichtman, publisher of Telepresence Options and board director at Array, and Herold Williams, the founder and CEO of Array, who worked at Polycom in the 1990s and is one of the UC&C industrys prolific inventors and innovators. Replacing PTZ cameras with a slim dual-lens camera mounted unobtrusively at eye level on the bezels between two joined wall screens, across those two screens it appears to remote participants as if all six of us were seated in a slightly curved row, as in a traditional telepresence suite. Our heads and torsos are life size, with accurate proportions and colors, fluid motion, and an excellent vertical eye line,

    regardless of our distance from the camera head and our position around the table.

    If you get the experience right, usage skyrockets, Herold commented. But what about the cost factor?

    Arrays system costs $13,995, plus systems integrator services of course. Operational costs are lower tootwo video streams

    capturing participants on each side of the conference table are combined into one codec, and the system interoperates with virtually any other videoconferencing and telepresence system. Working through systems integrator partners such as AVI-SPL, Array plans to take the enterprise world by a storm through low-cost upgrades and the addition of affordable telepresence to traditional conference rooms.

    For me, the day my company can afford telepresenceand many if not most of the other UC&C capabilities of a multi-billion dollar global enterpriserepresents the dawning of a new era. By the end of the 20th century, cell phones, personal computers, and the Internet gave businesses of any size and home office-based executives and knowledge workers the power to communicate with anyone, anywhere, at a modicum of cost. I have built my career and launched multiple busi-nesses and strategic partnerships with this capability. Now, my companys executives, and our partners and customers, have the power to collaborate without boundaries, enabled by bleeding edge technologies we easily can purchase or rent.
