Mobility, Video Integration, and Collaboration: Leveraging the Potential of Enterprise Communications The prevalence of economic globalization and matrix management, as well as constant penetration and integration of the enterprise, consumer, and Internet fields, has posed a broad assortment of challenges to enterprise communications and collaboration across sectors. Enterprises concentrate on constructing a Unified Communications (UC) system that features efficient collaboration at its best with simplicity for implementing zero-distance collaboration and building high-efficiency teams. Mobility Nowadays, IT is becoming increasingly consumer-oriented, and thanks to the mobile Internet wave, a growing number of mobile devices are being introduced into the enterprise IT environment. Mobility has become one of the most important aspects of the future enterprise collaboration application architecture, as more and more enterprises try to accommodate the bring your own device (BYOD) movement, allowing users to access company software and hardware via enterprise mobile applications on personal devices. True mobility is demonstrated in three aspects, summed up in the motto, "anywhere, anytime, with consistency." However, combining mobility with UC brings new challenges to enterprises: first, the enterprise mobile application platform, which quickly deploys new applications and services; second, enterprise information security; and finally, diversified mobile device platforms. Video In the field of enterprise communications, video is a highly popular means of communication, second only to audio. Huawei espace UC Solution Based on the SIP protocol, Huawei espace UC solution constructs platform and endpoint openness at multiple layers to adapt to different industrial application scenarios and secondary development requirements. It features high reliability, ease of deployment, and high enterprise business integration to enhance enterprise business agility. Huawei espace UC solution integrates voice, data, video, and workflow technologies, and can be widely used in applications ranging from home offices to super-large-sized enterprises. Secure espace UC devices are available anytime, anywhere to enable enterprise users to use IP telephony, mobile OA, and collaboration applications. Enterprises seek a more natural, easier-to-use, and lower-cost video communication solution. According to Gartner, it is an important milestone in the evolution of video technology trends that Telepresence and other video technologies have entered a period of increasing commercial usage. These video technologies will also be integrated with multimedia conferencing so that they can work more seamlessly with enterprise applications. Collaboration With rapid evolution in UC technologies, enterprises can now integrate voice, video, multimedia conferencing, and instant messaging applications into business processes and traditional IT applications (such as OA and ERP), improving office collaboration among enterprise users, partners, and customers. This increases operating efficiency and cuts operating costs.
