Chairmen s Greeting Welcome to VoiceCon Orlando This is VoiceCon s 20 th year, and we re delighted that you ve joined us for this important industry milestone. We hope you ll take advantage of everything VoiceCon has to offer: Conference sessions, Exhibition Floor, Keynotes and VoiceCon Summits, our Networking Receptions and all of the opportunities to network with the top minds in enterprise communications. It s been quite a year. While IP-PBXs remain dominant, they are being challenged by new software- and desktopcentric architectures. Momentum is also growing for new Cloud-based, hosted/managed service offerings. Unified Communications has evolved from a concept into a set of architectures that can be deployed and products and services that you can buy. Indeed, UC is influencing much of what s occurring in enterprise communications, from the rise in video to serious discussion about the future of traditional desktop phones in the enterprise. The new ways of thinking about communications has attracted new players offering new choices and so, not surprisingly, you face new challenges. Over the next four days, you ll hear from experts about the best ways to confront these challenges while migrating to next-gen communications architectures, services and systems. And you ll hear from your peers IT executives who will share their experiences on implementing IP Telephony, Converged Networks and Unified Communications. They ll describe what worked, what didn t and why. And, the VoiceCon Exhibition gives you the opportunity to kick the tires and see for yourself what s available now and what will be coming into the market. Led by your Diamond Sponsors Avaya, Cisco and Siemens the VoiceCon Exhibition presents the latest systems, services and applications. We thank all of the sponsors and exhibitors for their support, and we encourage you to spend time learning about their products, services and plans for the future. Again, thank you for coming to what will be a very exciting and informative week at VoiceCon Orlando And when you see us in sessions and the hallways, don t forget to wish us and VoiceCon a happy 20 th!

6 Keynotes and Featured Presentations Keynotes and Featured Presentations MONDAY, march 22 11:00 AM 12:00 PM :: General session Summit: Next-Gen Communications Architectures As enterprise communications moves from the legacy PBX-centric architecture to one based on IP networking and software applications, the architectures supporting these systems will also change. Enterprises have the opportunity to integrate communications systems more tightly into their corporate datacenters, taking advantage of Web Services, server virtualization and Cloud Computing, among other technology trends. So how should enterprises plan to take advantage of these trends, and what pitfalls await them as they do? And how will technology vendors attempt to leverage these trends in their own product or services offerings? In this VoiceCon Summit, CTOs and other technology leaders will discuss and debate the various approaches to next-gen communications architectures. You ll leave with a better understanding of how your enterprise s communications systems will fit into the larger IT environment, and how these new architectures will support end users to provide higher productivity and greater business benefits. Panelists: Jack Jachner, Vice President, Cloud Communication Solutions, Alcatel-Lucent Phil Edholm, Vice President, Innovation and Technology Strategy, Avaya Shantanu Sarkar, Director, Engineering, VTG CTO, Cisco Manfred Arndt, HP Distinguished Technologist, Hewlett-Packard Pat Galvin, CTO, Unified Communications and Collaboration Software, IBM Warren Barkley, Director of Partner Engineering, Microsoft Mike Seto, VP, Business Development and Applications, Polycom Moderators: Eric Krapf, Editor, NoJitter.com, Co-Chair, VoiceCon Zeus Kerravala, SVP, Enterprise Research, The Yankee Group 1:00 1:45 PM :: General Session Summit: Unified Communications Executive Forum For the past three years, the theme of Unified Communications has grown in importance, as it is the vanguard of a fundamental transition that is shaking up the enterprise communications marketplace: The industry is evolving from a focus on hardware to a focus on software software architectures, systems and services. The good news is that the inevitability of this transition is widely accepted. However, the bad news is that the promise of Unified Communications remains largely unfulfilled. Implementations of true Unified Communications, while growing, remain relatively small in number. There is still considerable confusion in the market about what Unified Communications is and what it isn t. And there are tough issues like interoperability that inhibit wider adoption and deployment. The rocky economic climate doesn t help matters either. This VoiceCon Summit will examine the Unified Communications market from a variety of perspectives: How far along has the market really evolved? What are the issues facing both buyers and sellers as they adapt to this new regime? What obstacles need to be overcome as enterprises try to mesh Unified Communications with their existing network design and procurement procedures, network operations and organizations? Panelists: David Downing, Vice President and General Manager, Unified Communications and Collaboration, Avaya Brian Dal Bello, Senior Director of Systems & Solutions, Voice Technology Group, Cisco Bruce Morse, VP, Unified Communications and Collaboration Software, IBM Tim Passios, Director, Solutions Marketing, Interactive Intelligence Moz Hussain, Director of Product Management, Microsoft Peter Greco, Director, Strategic Solutions, Siemens Enterprise Communications Group Moderators: Jim Burton, CXO, CT Link/UCStrategies Fred Knight, GM/Co-Chair, VoiceCon, Publisher, NoJitter.com Before joining JDSU, Kennedy served as chief operating officer of Openwave Systems, Inc., a position he held from August 2001 to September Prior to joining Openwave Systems, Kennedy spent close to eight years at Cisco Systems, Inc., most recently as senior vice president of the Service Provider Line of Business and Software Technologies Division.

Cloud Computing is all the rage and is being portrayed as the technical silver bullet to just about any IT-related problem. To be sure, the idea of reducing IT expenditures and headcount sounds compelling, particularly in tough economic times. But where and how does enterprise communications fit within the emerging framework for Cloud Computing? Does it portend a new set of options for delivering and managing voice, video and data communications, or is Cloud Computing for communications not much more than Centrex dressed up in 21st century buzzwords? Does the undeniable trend toward more mobile communications capabilities create the foundation for bringing together communications and Cloud Computing, or is it just the next iteration of heretofore unsuccessful initiatives like Application Service Providers (ASPs)? This VoiceCon Summit will examine the promise, today s realities and the possible future scenarios for marrying enterprise communications with Cloud Computing. You ll hear a variety of viewpoints and have the opportunity to ask your questions.

THURSDAY, MARCH 25 10:00 11:00 AM :: General Session Summit: How Many Phones Does Your Enterprise Need? Many industry analysts (and some vendors) are asserting that the desk phone is, if not dead, at least past its prime. They argue that there s no cost justification for putting a hard phone on every desk, claiming a PC-based softphone is an adequate substitute for at least a significant portion of the user base. Those on the other side of this debate argue that PCs are prone to unpredictable problems and crashes, that they re not always on, and that softphones provide lower voice quality and security. So who s right? In this Summit, a panel of experts will debate the issues and let you decide. Panelists: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc. Mark Zerbe, VP of Converged Communications, Dimension Data Stephen Leaden, President, Leaden Associates Dave Michels, Blogger, Pindropsoup.com Moderator: Fred Knight, GM/Co-Chair, VoiceCon, Publisher, NoJitter.com 11:00 AM 12:00 PM :: General Session Locknote At the conclusion of each VoiceCon, we ask leading analysts to join VoiceCon Co-chairs Fred Knight and Eric Krapf to summarize what they learned during the Conference. The Locknote will analyze progress in the migration to IP Telephony and Unified Communications, vendor positioning and market strategies, and examine whether the payoffs from new technologies are being realized. The panelists draw on their experience and what they ve seen and heard during the conference, and they ll take your questions.

Moderator: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc. 9:00 10:45 AM :: Deep Dives SIP Trunking: Who s Offering What? Part 1 What is the current state of availability of SIP trunking from the major carriers? Are secondary carriers a viable option in places where the largest providers are not? What are the pricing trends and structures from the carriers? What specific gotchas are you likely to encounter? What is the status of service level agreements (SLAs) for SIP trunking services? What are the elements you should include in an RFI/RFP for SIP trunking services? Speaker: Lisa Pierce, President, Strategic Networks Group Reactor Panelists: Rupesh Chokshi, General Manager, Product Management, AT&T Dan Jacobson, Senior Portfolio Manager, Converged Voice Services, Sprint Nextel Thomas Dalrymple, Director, Global Voice Services- Product Management, Verizon Part 2 Are IP-PBX vendors platforms able to support SIP trunks natively? If not, what must be added to these systems to accommodate SIP trunks? What is the role of the Session Border Controller (SBC) in SIP trunking? Are SBCs mandatory? How do you typically procure equipment that you may need to acquire to implement SIP trunks do you implement them as CPE you manage yourself? Does the carrier provide them as part of its offer? What network management/monitoring capabilities do you need in house in order to validate carrier SLA compliance? Speaker: Lisa Pierce, President, Strategic Networks Group Reactor Panelists: Alan Percy, Director Market Development, AudioCodes Seamus Hourihan, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, Acme Packet Gordon Eddy, Director of Enterprise Product Management and Marketing, Empirix Kevin Isacks, Director of Product Marketing for Voice and Mobility, NET Greg Zweig, Director of Access Product Management, Sonus Networks Sun D Contact Center Update and Executive Forum How has the economic downturn affected the migration to IP? What percentage of the new contact center systems being deployed is now SIP-based? Where do the vendors stand in terms of market share and technology leadership? Can the migration to IP and SIP be cost-justified either through network savings or potential increased sales or faster problem resolution? How are media such as text/instant messaging, video and social networking applications like Facebook and Twitter being incorporated into leading-edge contact centers, and what are the challenges and benefits of these new media types? Is the contact center market in danger of being absorbed into other application areas, such as Unified Communications and Business Process Automation? Would this be a good thing or a bad thing? Speaker/Moderator: Sheila McGee-Smith, President/Principal Analyst, McGee-Smith Analytics Panelists: Nicolas De Kouchkovsky, CMO, Enterprise Applications, Alcatel-Lucent Andy Bezaitis, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Aspect Jorge Blanco, Vice President, Product Marketing, Contact Center Solutions, Avaya Chris Botting, Director Product Management, Cisco Tim Passios, Director, Solutions Marketing, Interactive Intelligence Kyle Christensen, Director, Product Marketing, Salesforce.com Implementation Options: Unified Communications Case 1: Expand Voice Systems: You want to add applications to your voice communications system, such as presence, mobility support, in-house conferencing (audio, web and/or video conferencing), and desktop communications (possibly including instant messaging or other tools). Optionally, you may choose to integrate the selected elements with your installed desktop applications. Case 2: Expand Desktop Systems: You want to add communications to your desktop application systems (such as , calendar, instant messaging, or collaborative workspaces) such as presence, clickto-communicate, conferencing (audio, web and/ or video), and mobility. Optionally, you may choose to integrate the selected elements with the your installed PBX systems. Case 3: Communications-Enabled Business Processes (CEBP): You want to integrate communications with core business applications in your business, such as with applications for sales, service, logistics, human resources, or specialized vertical market apps such as in health care, financial services, manufacturing, transportation, education, or government. This focus is on presenting communication tools in context of the applications and within the business application user interfaces (on a PC, laptop, mobile devices, or telephone). Speaker/Moderator: Marty Parker, Principal Consultant, UniComm Consulting 10:00 10:45 AM :: Breakout Session Osceola B Choosing the Right Mobile Device Ecosystem Which wireless devices are best suited for supporting enterprise Unified Communications, and perhaps more importantly which devices have users already chosen? If you support multiple operating system environments, how will that impact application development and support costs? How important is it that the mobile device be integrated with the overall Unified Communications solution, what functions are most important to mobilize, and which Unified Communications platforms will be most important to support? Should we develop mobile applications that are O/S specific or is it better to host the application on a server and simply use a mobile browser? Is it possible to effectively manage user-owned devices ( I want my iphone/pre/whatever )? Can a solution that utilizes both Wi-Fi and cellular be implemented if those two technologies are managed by different groups? Who should be in charge? Will the combination of Google Voice and Android make Google a real option for the enterprise and how soon? Speaker/Moderator: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc.

In such systems, there are three possible call control centers: the enterprise PBX, the Unified Communications server (particularly those from Microsoft and IBM) and the call control native to the group video deployment. Inevitably, there are tradeoffs that must be made when trying to integrate video with both the PBX with the Unified Communications environment. This session discusses strategies for integrating group video systems with telephony call control and with common Unified Communications environments, describing the pros and cons of doing so. Speaker: Brent Kelly, Senior Analyst & Partner, Wainhouse Research 2:00 PM 5:00 PM :: Workshops Integrating Mobility and UC: Comparing the Vendors Solutions What is the most cost effective way to integrate mobility for users who split their time in and out of the office? How about those who are mobile only within the office? What elements are actually involved in adding mobility to each vendor s Unified Communications solution, what do they cost, either purchased separately or in a bundle with other Unified Communications features? Can a dual mode Wi-Fi/cellular solution be cost justified on its own or do we have to look for soft productivity benefits? If the costs of upgrading a WLAN to support voice are significant, can DECT be a cost effective alternative? Will users get the same range of features on a cellularonly, dual mode Wi-Fi/cellular, and VoWLAN based mobile UC solution?

It s the simple way to enjoy continuity of service and give your business a competitive edge. Find out more in booth #601. Don t miss Siemens Enterprise Communications Keynote with Mark Straton, Sr. Vice President, Voice and Applications Solutions Tuesday, March 23, 10:00 am. Communication for the open minded Siemens Enterprise Communications, Inc. The communications market is progressing at a tremendous pace with technical advancements, consolidation, and the entrance of new players. At Siemens Enterprise Communications we ve identified ten trends to consider for optimization of your unified communications investment. 1. Commoditization of core telephony Anyone who knows how to deploy a server/application may now be considered a voice expert. We believe this mindset will continue during The end result will be the commoditization of basic voice services. Those that can offer above and beyond the conventional definition of voice will stand out as providing differentiated value. 2. Consumerization With the acceptance of the iphone as an enterprise tool, this trend has shown that a product originally conceived for the consumer market can have a major impact in the enterprise space. This has also focused attention on the thin application versus the traditional heavy or fat client. We believe this trend will continue and during 2010 enterprises will lead the backlash against thick clients. 3. Socially aware UC This will continue to develop following Siemens Enterprise Communications entry into this market with the OpenScape UC Application and Twitter integration demonstrated at VoiceCon San Francisco Siemens is working on the next levels of integration and suspect that many others will follow our lead. Our belief remains that there will not be one killer app, but many, and social networking is one of those application areas that will significantly advance UC in the corporate environment. 4. Subscription licensing Over the last year, we have seen the increased interest in hosted solutions. In 2010 we will see the adoption of new licensing models that will benefit the enterprise user replacing the traditional blanket licence. Again this will be a differentiator between those companies that follow and those that innovate within the industry. 5. Virtualization We think that during 2010 two types of solutions will emerge. First, there will be the consolidation of servers. But secondly, others will take the virtualization model and embrace it to ensure they have strategies in place to not only virtualize the server layer, but also the database, storage, and application layers. Players that use the term virtualization without understanding the true meaning will really be distinguished in this model. 6. Cloud Private / Public / Hybrid We expect momentum to gather pace with many providers offering private clouds and the likes of Amazon continuing with the public cloud approach. We also see that there will be some notable customers moving to cloud based technologies during 2010 which will in turn have a major impact on the industry and its acceptance. 7. Transformation of the enterprise desktop With the influx of new talent plus the general adoption of new ways of working, such as the increased use of wikis and blogs, we see that during 2010 the face of the desktop will change. The challenge will be how to ensure that the user experience is maintained between the laptop and the smart phone. 8. Communication Enabled Business Processes This takes the process of automating many of the tasks we perform today into the enterprise workspace. For example, you could be working on meeting notes and write in the document that a group of people need to have a meeting to discuss a side bar activity. The system could determine from your notes that a meeting is needed and pull together the group as defined into a voice call, a meeting, or a video meeting by analyzing their calendars. 9. Management As more vendors offer UC solutions that embrace not only their components, but also third-party components, we will see the importance of managing such an environment as one of the measurable differentiators between like systems. Those that can easily integrate and be managed will become the accepted solutions by the enterprise. 10. Advanced UC Security During 2010, we predict the rise of more advanced solutions that look within the protected environment and treat everyone as a potential threat. We see this is an area that many people will pay attention to this year.
