I’ve been watching with interest how Unified Communications[1] has been unfolding in the market over the last while. As you probably know by now, I created hereiam™ out of exasperation for not having available cost effective tools to do business while mobile and we made sure that we work well with UC platforms. The big hype with UC is the promise of cost reductions and productivity benefits albeit within enterprise walls. Since the early 2000s, suppliers have been touting UC as the next big telecom wave. The reality is that UC has not taken over the world the way it was first envisioned, but the trend is positive. When you really look into it, UC is really an idea or a concept and not a product. It would be nice to have an environment where еνеrу method of communicating іѕ јυѕt a click away, but this is nirvana. UC has been more like a slow burn in the market. Here’s a quick scan of UC today.
