We have observed the following challenges to be common to most customers we are working with:Cross-functional business alignment: UC transformation starts from the top and spans all business functions including IT, HR, Real Estate, etc.. Full leverage of UC implementation requires change in corporate culture and processes. In UC implementations business needs and direction have more immediate impact on technology decisions, and technology possibilities are creating opportunities for business growth and improvementIT Challenges:Demarcation between IT silo’s has gotten fuzzy, and therefore the decision making process has slowed downHeritage to a particular vendor is really strong (Network – Cisco and other NEPs, Data Center / Desktop – Microsoft) Future business direction will have greater impact on technology roadmaps and plansMarket Offering: Most UC vendors are promoting “one vendor/product fits all” message Point technology solutions Not providing an end to end strategyStill with all these challenges our industry keeps moving forward. The holy grail of this quest is to create one enterprise communications platform to enable new business processes by including enterprise apps into the fold. We at HP think that we have the recipe for success.
