And Here is What the Experts are Saying

Both UC and advancing mobile


technologies are reshaping how,
when, and where work is performed.
Therefore, the term UC may soon
be synonymous with business
mobility.

Years ago, the argument for


audio and web conferencing was
all about travel cost savings.
Today, collaboration
technologies have the potential
to fundamentally change the way
people work and live.
