2 ChairMen s GreetinG table Of COntents Welcome to enterprise Connect Orlando 2012! We re delighted that you ve joined us, and we know this will be a productive and memorable week. This is our 22nd consecutive year running this event and, not surprisingly, much has changed. Mobility has already altered the industry landscape and video and social apps are posed to do the same. We ve been talking about The Cloud for some time but it s now become truly viable, and this means that you have more options than ever for architectures and delivery systems. We ll cover all these topics this week, along with Unified Communications, SIP Trunking, management and security. But regardless of which piece of hardware or software you re looking at, or which service or app is most on your mind, the job of any communications and collaboration element, system or service is to connect people with one other and with business processes, so that they are able to communicate, collaborate, work and fulfill business objectives anywhere, anytime. And even in this era of increasingly available video and other remote-meeting technologies, a live, in-person experience like Enterprise Connect presents an unrivaled opportunity for attendees to connect with each other: to learn more, to communicate more and to do more business. So, we urge you to take advantage of everything Enterprise Connect has to offer: Keynotes and Summits, the Enterprise Connect Expo and the conference sessions, our Networking Receptions and all of the other opportunities to meet with the top minds in enterprise communications and collaboration. And, by all means, take the time to visit the Enterprise Connect Expo. It creates an unparalleled opportunity to kick the tires, to see what s available now and what will be coming into the market. Led by your Diamond Sponsors avaya, Cisco, hp, Lifesize, Microsoft, nec and siemens enterprise Communications the Expo presents the newest systems, services, software and applications.

The evolution of IP-PBX architecture has resulted in busting up the once centralized PBX platform into a series of servers call control, applications, etc. And over the past 4-5 years, IBM, Microsoft and other suppliers have offered full-fledged UC solutions that are based more on desktops and applications than on traditional PBX designs. More recently, in a kind of back to the future movement, there s an emerging set of offerings that rely on the Cloud and other managed/hosted services. So, is the last PBX you bought, the last PBX you ll ever buy? And if so, what will replace it? This session will examine the myths and realities of the new platform options, as well as the vendors and technology trends virtualization, mobility, software architectures and unified communications that are driving the change. Panelists: Manfred Arndt, Distinguished Technologist, Advanced Technology Group, HP Warren Barkley, General Manager, Lync Customer & Partner Mgmt, Microsoft Adrian Brookes, VP, Siemens Enterprise Communications Todd landry, Sr. Vice President, NEC Corporation of America chris McGugan, Vice President, Emerging Technologies, Avaya Vishakha radia, Managing Director, Customer Business Transformation (CBT), Cisco Moderators: Jim Burton, CXO, CT Link/UCStrategies Fred Knight, GM/Co-Chair, Enterprise Connect, Publisher, NoJitter.com Sun A Summit: What s next for the Mobile enterprise? UC suppliers are interested in mobility, but are mobility equipment and service providers interested in UC? Why hasn t there been more market acceptance of Wi-Fi voice, dual mode FMC, mobile UC clients, and the other mobility options that have been tried thus far? Has anything changed? The mobility industry is focused on the consumer market, so what will it take to get them to deliver products and services that offer the same type of compelling user experience we have seen in the consumer market, but that respond to enterprise requirements for security, high availability and integration with the wired UC offerings? Will the service providers push for walled gardens choke the promise wireless has for both enterprises and consumers? What are prospects for the new Microsoft-Skype team in the enterprise? How about Google? Panelists: B.J. haberkorn, Lync Group Product Manager, Microsoft chris Kemmerer, Director of Global Unified Communications and Collaboration Solutions, Verizon Joe Martin, Director, Solutions Engineering, Sales and Distribution, Sprint randy roberts, VP, Global Mobility Portfolio Management, Siemens Enterprise Communications Moderators: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc eric Krapf, Co-Chairman, Enterprise Connect, Editor, No Jitter 9:00 9:15 AM // GenerAl SeSSiOn Welcome and Opening comments Fred Knight, GM/Co-Chair, Enterprise Connect, Publisher, NoJitter.com innovation Showcase Featuring 9:15 10:00 AM // GenerAl SeSSiOn Summit: is There a new Model for enterprise communications & collaboration? For decades, we ve heard that convergence was coming. Well, it s arrived, and it s becoming pervasive. The old boundaries within communications and collaboration are breaking down, as business apps and processes run across wired and wireless facilities, and are composed of a mix of data, voice, video and graphics. As technology boundaries blur, so do others, most notably, what will you buy and from whom: Whether the topic is communications or the data center, video or storage, servers or collaboration services, there are new options for partners and delivery systems. Services and apps can be provided via the Cloud, on-premises or a mix of the two. As a result, it can no longer be assumed that the communications and collaboration partners an enterprise has had for the past decade will remain so in the decade to come. So what is the going-forward model for enterprise communications and collaboration? Will the traditional pillars of enterprise communications architecture voice vs. data vs. video be replaced with choices organized around the desktop vs. the network vs. the Cloud? If the consumerization of IT is inevitable, how will the vendors meet the enduring requirements for security, compliance, scalability, manageability and cost-effectiveness? And as consolidation continues within the industry, is genuine competition going to disappear? A panel of senior IT executives will discuss these and related issues. The conversation will be essential as you develop your architecture and review your options for systems, services and applications. Panelists: James Druzbik, Vice President of Information Systems, Group 1 Automotive, Inc. Alan levine, CIO, The Kennedy Center Barry libenson, Sr. Vice President and CIO, Land O Lakes, Inc.

His passion for improving user experiences drove the creation of a single collaboration architecture and common user experiences strategy across our collaboration portfolio. The vision of this integrated collaboration portfolio, where telepresence is a key collaboration technology, is what differentiates Cisco from the competitors and was a compelling reason for the Tandberg/ Cisco acquisition. Winge has been instrumental in Cisco s continued success and market leadership in telepresence, delivering consistent double digit growth and nearly $2B in yearly bookings. The TelePresence Technology Group encompasses TelePresence endpoints, infrastructure and solutions that drive the pervasive deployment of video.

SIP Trunking has attracted more interest than any network service in recent memory, and the reason is simple: The potential for immediate and often substantial cost savings. But even as SIP Trunking has been rolling out across the county, another network-based offering The Cloud has generated enthusiasm and hype unmatched since the dot.com boom. Beyond SIP Trunking s potential for cost savings is another critically important attribute: SIP Trunking positions the network to handle true end-to-end IP communications it handles IP traffic regardless of media type: voice, video or data. It is also likely to be the preferred service for accessing Cloud-based services. The combination of SIP Trunking and the Cloud gives service providers an altogether new set of business models: SIP Trunking, while cannibalizing traditional T1 services, ultimately lowers their network costs, while the Cloud represents heretofore unavailable revenue streams. Together, they could be foundational elements in a new public network. Join this important session where thought and market-leaders in network services talk about the opportunities and challenges SIP Trunking and the Cloud offer both service providers and their enterprise customers. If end-to-end IP becomes ubiquitous, what will change in the service providers opex budgets, and what changes for enterprise architectures and capabilities? What are the prospects for SIP Trunking interoperability? How soon, if ever, will we see it? Is the Cloud making inroads into enterprise communications procurements and deployments? What are SIP Trunking s gotchas? How about the Cloud s? Is there more to SIP Trunking than a cost-reduction play?

Driven by the need to connect disparate workers, partners and even customers, enterprises are quickly adopting tools such as unified communications, video conferencing, workgroup collaboration services, and social computing. But absent a clear architecture and roadmap, we find that most deployments are disjointed and wind up in silos, leaving organizations unable to take advantage of seamless anytime, anywhere collaboration. During this workshop, we ll define the components of a UC&C architecture. We ll identify key trends driving the need for an enterprise collaboration strategy, we ll look at examples of how vendors and their partners are integrating their UC&C offerings, and finally we ll share a roadmap for implementation based on numerous engagements with end user companies. Speaker: irwin lazar, Analyst, Nemertes Research Osceola A Developing an enterprise Mobility Strategy Why now? Mobility isn t new, so what s really driving the need for an enterprise mobility strategy? What s the role of IT in developing an enterprise mobility strategy participant vs. leadership? Does adopting a BYOD strategy mean that my enterprise has given up on protecting corporate information assets? How do we integrate the mobile device with the wired network and extend UC to the mobile? How much control can an enterprise really exercise when it comes to mobility? Speaker: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc. Osceola B implementation Options for unified communications Unified Communications continues to gain market momentum because it focuses a wide range of communications and collaboration capabilities on solving business problems from improving the productivity of individuals and workgroups to revising and revitalizing business processes. But the sheer scope of UC also poses problems: Where to begin? How to organize the technology choices? How to best match UC capabilities with the needs and culture of the enterprise. This session will help you organize your thinking and planning for UC. It is organized around three fundamental implementation options that encompass UC offerings that are already in the market as well as those that are on the way. The session provides detailed information, with schematics based on currently deliverable products from market leaders for each option. The implementation options are: 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. Expand Desktop Systems: You want to add communications to your desktop application systems (such as , calendar, instant messaging, or collaborative workspaces) such as presence, click-to-communicate, conferencing (audio, web and/or video), and mobility. Optionally, you may choose to integrate the selected elements with your installed PBX systems. Communications-Enabled Business Processes (CEBP): You want to integrate communications with core business applications in your enterprise, 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 PCs, laptops, mobile devices, appliances, or telephones). Speaker: Marty Parker, Principal Consultant, UniComm Consulting SiP Trunking: Who s Offering What? SIP trunking is the hottest technology trend in enterprise communications, but how do you procure the services and equipment to make it a success for your organization? This Deep Dive session will offer detailed presentations on the services and technologies you will need to acquire in order to roll out SIP trunking. You ll hear details of carriers offerings pricing, service availability, service level agreements, and much more. You ll get tips for how to negotiate SIP Trunking agreements with your service providers. And you ll receive in-depth information about the equipment that goes into a SIP trunking implementation IP-PBXs, VOIP gateways, Session Border Controllers, etc. You will come away from this session with a clear understanding of the service and CPE elements that make up a SIP trunking implementation, and be more prepared to start developing RFIs and RFPs for SIP trunking for your enterprise. Speakers: David rohde, Senior Consultant, TechCaliber Consulting LLC Tony Mangino, Senior Consultant, TechCaliber Consulting, LLC laura McDonald, Partner, Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP Panelists: Thomas Dalrymple, Director, Global Voice Services Product Management, Verizon Jake heinz, Vice President, Marketing, XO Communications Seamus hourihan, Vice President of Marketing, Acme Packet Kevin isacks, CTO & VP, NET Mykola Konrad, Director of Enterprise Product Management, Sonus Networks Alan Percy, Director, Market Development, AudioCodes Sun C integrating Video with uc How can we integrate and scale Lync video with group/telepresence video? What options exist for integrating group/telepresence with my existing Sametime deployment? Is it possible to have a fully integrated UC environment that includes voice, video, and unified call control? What tradeoffs do I have to make if I want Lync integrated with my PBX and with my group/telepresence video solutions? Speakers: Andrew Davis, Senior Partner, Wainhouse Research LLC Brent Kelly, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research Panelists: Mark Allen, CEO, Prometheus Networks ray Barton, BDP International James Brogan, Director of Firmware, Kohn Pedersen Fox Assoc David Danto, Principal Consultant, Collaboration Dimension Data Phil Mooney, President and CEO, Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) Jorge nunes, Office of the Ombudsman, Angola Sun D ip Telephony and unified communications: Making the Business case What are the key metrics in a business case for IP Telephony and Unified Communications? What does it really cost to implement IP Telephony? What are the cost components of a Unified Communications business case? What resources (internal and external) must companies devote to their VOIP and Unified Communications rollouts, per end-unit, per year segmented by rollout size and vendor? What are some of the key pitfalls? Where did companies go wrong? What are some compelling business case models for both IP Telephony and Unified Communications? Speaker: robin Gareiss, Executive Vice President & Sr. Founding Partner, Nemertes Research 11:00 AM 12:00 PM // GenerAl SeSSiOn Sun A Summit: has the Post-PBX era Begun? The evolution of IP-PBX architecture has resulted in busting up the once centralized PBX platform into a series of servers call control, applications, etc. And over the past 4-5 years, IBM, Microsoft and other suppliers have offered full-fledged UC solutions that are based more on desktops and applications than on traditional PBX designs. More recently, in a kind of back to the future movement, there s an emerging set of offerings that rely on the Cloud and other managed/hosted services. So, is the last PBX you bought, the last PBX you ll ever buy? And if so, what will replace it? This session will examine the myths and realities of the new platform options, as well as the vendors and technology trends virtualization, mobility, software architectures and unified communications that are driving the change. Panelists: Manfred Arndt, Distinguished Technologist, Advanced Technology Group, HP Warren Barkley, General Manager, Lync Customer & Partner Mgmt, Microsoft Adrian Brookes, VP, Siemens Enterprise Communications Todd landry, Sr. Vice President, NEC Corporation of America chris McGugan, Vice President, Emerging Technologies, Avaya Vishakha radia, Managing Director, Customer Business Transformation (CBT), Cisco Moderators: Jim Burton, CXO, CT Link/UCStrategies Fred Knight, GM/Co-Chair, Enterprise Connect, Publisher, NoJitter.com 1:00 1:45 PM // GenerAl SeSSiOn Sun A Summit: What s next for the Mobile enterprise? UC suppliers are interested in mobility, but are mobility equipment and service providers interested in UC? Why hasn t there been more market acceptance of Wi-Fi voice, dual mode FMC, mobile UC clients, and the other mobility options that have been tried thus far? Has anything changed? The mobility industry is focused on the consumer market, so what will it take to get them to deliver products and services that offer the same type of compelling user experience we have seen in the consumer market, but that respond to enterprise requirements for security, high availability and integration with the wired UC offerings? Will the service providers push for walled gardens choke the promise wireless has for both enterprises and consumers? What are prospects for the new Microsoft-Skype team in the enterprise? How about Google?

Speaker: Tom Minifie, Chief Technology Officer, AVST 2:00-3:00 PM // BreAKOuT SeSSiOnS Osceola A choreographing the cloud: Finding the right Mix of cloud vs. On-Premises Functions What are the risk/reward tradeoffs of deploying different communications functions in different parts of a hybrid deployment? Are all communications capabilities available for all types of environments (public cloud, private cloud and on-prem)? Do different types of providers specialize in different capabilities, and how does this factor influence your decision-making? What interoperability or integration challenges are you likely to encounter when you try to implement a hybrid cloud environment? What cost factors are involved in the decision-making? Considerations may include capex vs. opex; vendor incentive programs; product lifecycles and end-of-life; and how your own strategic technology plans fit with what s available now and what s on the horizon. Where do the risks of vendor lock-in reside in hybrid cloud implementations, and how do you avoid them?

They bring together two things that are great on their own and make them even better when they re combined. Enterprises have been improving productivity and efficiency from using unified communications tools for the past few years, and more recently from enterprise-grade social software solutions developed for business collaboration. While these are both great business tools by themselves, their value dramatically increases when they re integrated as part of Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) solutions and used to solve business problems. The lines are blurring between the social aspects and the project-centric collaboration tools. Tying in UC s presence, IM, and click to communicate capabilities with a company s social software community makes it easier to connect with people and share information. The use cases for UC and social software are endless, and we re just at the beginning of seeing the power of these tools combined. Listen to early adopters who have been at the forefront of this new phase of UCC, and hear how they ve integrated their various tools together to create business value and enhance the bottom line.

For decades, we ve heard that convergence was coming. Well, it s arrived, and it s becoming pervasive. The old boundaries within communications and collaboration are breaking down, as business apps and processes run across wired and wireless facilities, and are composed of a mix of data, voice, video and graphics. As technology boundaries blur, so do others, most notably, what will you buy and from whom: Whether the topic is communications or the data center, video or storage, servers or collaboration services, there are new options for partners and delivery systems. Services and apps can be provided via the Cloud, on-premises or a mix of the two. As a result, it can no longer be assumed that the communications and collaboration partners an enterprise has had for the past decade will remain so in the decade to come. So what is the going-forward model for enterprise communications and collaboration? Will the traditional pillars of enterprise communications architecture voice vs. data vs. video be replaced with choices organized around the desktop vs. the network vs. the Cloud? If the consumerization of IT is inevitable, how will the vendors meet the enduring requirements for security, compliance, scalability, manageability and cost-effectiveness? And as consolidation continues within the industry, is genuine competition going to disappear? A panel of senior IT executives will discuss these and related issues. The conversation will be essential as you develop your architecture and review your options for systems, services and applications.

20 COnferenCe PrOGraM: tuesday // MarCh 27 COnferenCe PrOGraM: tuesday // MarCh 27 2:30 3:15 PM // SPOnSOreD SeSSiOn Osceola 1 The Business Value of lync : This session will highlight the potential for companies of any size to realize productivity gains, cost avoidance and overall savings to the business - when adopting Lync for Unified Communications. Topics include: a review of Conferencing capabilities, Lync feature set and licensing basics. Speaker: Shelly Marston, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Lync Marketing, Microsoft 2:30 3:30 PM // BreAKOuT SeSSiOnS Osceola A uc interoperability: how real, how Much? Multivendor interoperability is a key part of any Unified Communications implementation. Few enterprises will get all of their UC infrastructure and applications from a single vendor. In addition, UC delivers value through integration with business processes, which requires interoperation with other software applications (e.g. document creation and management; for sales, services, logistics; et al.). Vendors are addressing interoperation in varying degrees and at varying rates, depending on the markets they serve and on their cultures of openness vs. self-sufficiency. This session will explore three aspects of multi-vendor UC interoperability: Interoperability Requirements: The top ten areas where interoperation is needed Interoperability Design: Using interoperation to create optimal solutions Interoperability for Installed Systems: How interoperation can save you time and money Speakers: russell Bennett, Principal, UC Insights Don Van Doren, Principal, UniComm Consulting Panelists: himanshu Desai, Director, Collaboration Practice, Cisco B.J. haberkorn, Lync Group Product Manager, Microsoft Todd landry, Sr. Vice President, NEC Corporation Allan Mendelsohn, Director, UC Marketing, Avaya TBD, Polycom Inc. Osceola B uc Mobile Devices in the Age of iphones, Android and Tablets Which mobile O/S environments will be most important to support, and are there differences in the level of security they can support? How far will companies be willing to go in allowing users to access enterprise data and applications on their personal mobile devices? Is the requirement to support multiple mobile O/S s hindering organizations ability to mobilize line of business applications and spur real business transformation? Will the move to cloud based networks help or hinder our ability to better integrate wired and wireless networks? What do IP-PBX and Mobile UC vendors have to do to deliver the type of compelling experience users have found in their consumer applications and will it be easier on some platforms than on others? Speaker: Michael Finneran, Principal, dbrn Associates Inc Panelists: John cash, Enterprise Product Advocate, Platform Product Management Group, Research in Motion clifford cibelli, Group Manager, Verizon Joseph Martin, Director, Solutions Engineering Sales and Distribution, Sprint Sun D ip Telephony Market update Which vendors are hot and which are not in the enterprise communications market? Are Cloud-based solutions taking business away from hardware equipment and software vendors? How are the traditional system suppliers adjusting to changing market conditions and who may not be around when the smoke clears? Are customers actually buying and implementing Unified Communications offerings or is it still all hype? Will tablets make desktop telephone instruments obsolete? Speakers: Jeremiah caron, Vice President of Analysis, Current Analysis/IT Connection Peter hale, Senior Analyst, MZA 2:30-5:30 PM // WOrKShOPS implementing SiP Trunking SIP Trunking is one the hottest issues in enterprise communications because it promises cost savings and true end-to-end IP voice connections. But the number of enterprises actually using SIP Trunks to their full potential is still a small minority partly because of the way in which carriers are offering these services, and partly because technical/interoperability challenges remain. This workshop will examine the architecture options involved with deploying SIP Trunks, review the carrier offerings and ordering procedures, analyze the role of Session Border Controllers and options for configuration and present the critical issues and best practices for troubleshooting and managing SIP Trunks. Speakers: Jim Allen, Global Unified Communications Architect, Medtronic Sorell Slaymaker, Communications Architect, Unified IT Systems Sun C cloud-based uc Services rfp This workshop starts with the simple question: If an enterprise wanted to eliminate all or most of its premises-based communications equipment and deploy a fully loaded unified communications solutions from a hosted and managed cloud services provider, could it do so today? If so, what would such an implementation look like? Who could deliver it? And what would it cost? And most importantly, how would these costs compare with an equivalent premises-based offering or an overlay UC option? As with the other two RFP sessions at Enterprise Connect, the Cloud RFP describes a 2,000 person domestically headquartered company with two branch locations and a number of mobile workers. This session presents solutions from leading hosted UC providers covering each of the major unified communications applications (presence, IM, call control, audio/video/ web conferencing, unified messaging, etc.), and aims to ascertain whether an organization, using these major players, could craft a cost-effective, secure, robust cloud-based communications platform for its users today. The results will be contrasted and compared in terms of the total cost of ownership with that of premises-based and the overlay providers responding to RFP. There will be a thorough review of the solutions proposed by those responding to the RFP, and the analysis will include: Architecture Cost Feature/functionality/quality of service Migration path Manageability Business continuity and disaster recovery Level of risk (security, compliance, control/accountability) TCO as compared to premises-based offerings Speaker: Brent Kelly, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Constellation Research Featuring Panelists from: Avaya BT Interactive Intelligence InterCall M5 Networks Siemens Enterprise Communications Thinking Phone Networks Verizon 38 39
