What challenges does Unified Communications address?
Customer Challenges Unified Communications can help! How can I….. Reduce my mobile phone charges? Reduce business travel expenses? Reduce the number of communications devices needed? Simplify management and operations overheads? Categorised in three groups Cost Reduction Revenue Generation General Productivity Shorten product development cycles? Shorten time to market? Be more responsive to customers? Shorten overall business decision cycle times? Help my people be more productive? Make sure we are using up-to-date information? 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation. All rights reserved.
Unified Communications: What is it all about? Fixed communications Shorten decision cycle time People Mobile Communications Voice Integrate and simplify Improve customer responsiveness Improve collaborative working Data Reduce Capex and Opex Video Eliminate location dependence Its all about streamlining information and knowledge flows within and between companies/organisations Integration of different type of communications into current business processes incorporating different technologies UC is not only about technology It addresses the Communication needs of People, Business Processes and utilises appropriate Technology Supporting the different needs of different type of workers Fixed desk, home office based, field based, etc. Generating a serious of benefits under the headings of: Cost optimisation Revenue Generation Overall productivity Technology Process Eliminate device dependence Access to voice, data, and video services regardless of time, location or device Call center agents Fixed desk Knowledge worker Commuter Road warrior 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation.

Enterprise Communications Challenge The Knowledge Worker’s Pain Knowledge Worker are affected every day with: Too many disjointed devices Office phone Cell phone Instant messaging Email Voice mail Complex user interfaces Limitation of availability of application and presence information High Mail load: leads to inefficiency and delays Increasing demands for real-time communication W Higher degrees of mobile working practices can lead to inefficiencies and longer process cycles This takes the example of a ‘Road Warrior’ but would be equally applicable to other mobile employees. 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation.

One size does NOT fit all! Example of a Mobile Worker Categorization By doing a “Mobile Worker Categorization” you can provide the right tool set to each employee depending on working patterns The goal is to only provide ONE dedicated phone and computer per employee Be aware of that all computers can handle voice and that almost all phones can handle data Laptops already have built-in Wireless LAN capabilities PC cards for GPRS/3G is available for users that need “mobile” data connectivity GPRS/3G capabilities will soon be built-in to most laptops Voice Data 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation.

Typical Communications Starting Point Multiple channels, fragmented access Video Cost Rigid Mobile Telephony Multiple infrastructures Fixed Telephony Enterprise communications today: Most enterprises rely on a number of different channels and applications for communicating internally and externally: telephony (fixed, mobile), e-mail, fax, video conferencing, instant messaging, SMS, collaboration systems, CRM, etc., etc. Some companies prefer telephony as their main Communication channel whereas others may use e-mail and instant messaging as their most important Communication channels. The choice of Communication channels depends on company culture, the specific industry sector, country and many other things. Each channel has it’s own characteristic and relies on specific systems and architectures. Furthermore, companies today inherit or build multiple communications infrastructures. The main problem for enterprises today is that they have to maintain most existing Communication channels to guarantee efficient running of their business. However, this is a difficult and expensive task as most Communication channels are rigid, stand-alone solutions and little integration exists between them. IT Systems: E-mail, IM, Document Mgmt, Conferencing, CRM, etc. Lack of control Limited manageability 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation. All rights reserved.
Unified Communications The goal…. Integrated Enterprise Communication& Collaboration System for Voice, Video & Data One common infrastructure Higher degree of variable costs Comprehensive cost control More flexibility Full control and manageability Standardized hardware and software The vision – unified communications: Fully integrated enterprise Communicationssystem based on a common standardized platform, enhancing functionality for end-users and improving systems management and security. End-users can use their device (and network) of choice for any type of Communicationsand messaging, only limited by devices capabilities (e.g. no camera = no video conferencing). A common interface to the system will facilitate how employees work and make it much more intuitive compared to previous systems. Lower fixed costs due to fewer individual (proprietary) system platforms and consolidated networks. Higher degree of variable costs because of new and more flexible communications traffic billing schemes. Improved systems flexibility both technically and financially will make the system more adaptable to business or organizational changes. Furthermore upgrades and extensions will be easier and more manageable with the use of standardized software and hardware platforms. Common infrastructure Simplified and consolidated networks Any client 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation. All rights reserved.

It does not say that a specific product must be used – rather it shows how they can be used. Its main role is to act as a reference summarising a somewhat complex product landscape HP‘s skill is in understanding how to simplify and integrate all of this technology and link it to relevant business processes and to the needs of individual end users.

The UC Journey is different for everyone Tailored to the unique requirements of individual clients Solution elements Company A Company B 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 8 3 Mobile telephony - IP telephony - Enterprise applications - IP network upgrade - WLAN networking - Portal - E-mail upgrade - Unified Messaging - Collaboration (audio/video) - Presence/Instant Messaging - Management - 7 W From UC vision to implementation: Most companies will agree with the overall vision for UC but challenged when it comes to actually realizing the vision into working solutions. HP therefore recommends dividing the UC implementation into smaller steps and assists in identifying the best route towards effective unified communications. Many companies will not need to implement all the solution elements at once but can start with those identified as high priority and then add additional solution elements as and when required. Each company will take a different route towards unified communications depending on their existing setup, needs, requirements and general ambitions. This illustration shows how two different companies achieve Unified Communications by implementing solution elements over a certain amount of time. Each sub element is like a piece in the overall puzzle and closely linked into an common management, security and HW/SW platform. Further design principles build on the HP Adaptive Enterprise concept: Simplicity, standardization, integration and modularity. A minimum number of key solution elements will take a company closer to achieving more efficient and unified enterprise communications. 2 9 Using common infrastructure, management, security and standardized HW/ SW platforms 4 1 5 Phased approach 6 Time 15 April 2017 Copyright © 2007 HP corporate presentation.
