Highlights
Many enterprises are currently using elements of UC such as instant messaging with presence, mobility or web conferencing services but in general the uptake of all encompassing communications solutions has been slow to take off. Despite the publicity and hype, cost of implementation and measurability of benefits are still the leading inhibitors. Following on from recent advances in cellular technology and the rapid uptake of mobile email and applications, mobile access is likely to become a more integral part of enterprise communications. Desktop functionality has been extended to the mobile phone and now IP telephony and UC are heading the same way. Green IT emerged as a hot issue in 2007 following on from the publicity surrounding the environment and the recent political focus on businesses' carbon footprints. It is set to remain at the forefront of both vendors' and IT users' minds throughout 2008 and will be a significant factor in the marketing of unified communications solutions.
