Unified Communication Industry
Study
by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Cisco Systems
Published February 2006; Posted June 2006
Abstract:
In each industry communication blockages occur, and valuable time is wasted on
routine communication issues. Although many organizations spend large sums to
improve the productivity of its workers, many common communication delays go
unnoticed and not quantified. Although unified communications represent cost
savings across many areas of a business, it is not just about acquiring a new
technology. The primary advantage of unified communications is to help
organizations use technology better, simplify the user experience, and improve
business performance by adding speed and agility to common business processes.
Major findings from industry surveys indicate the following:
|
|
Communications silos dominate the current market landscape |
|
|
Reliance on traditional communications hampers businesses |
|
|
Bottlenecks occur in virtually all industries |
|
|
Easy user interfaces provide end user advantages |
|
|
Unified communications transform business interactions |
Changing the way employees communicate may be challenging in some industries, but businesses cannot afford to ignore the many benefits available today from transforming their communication activities with real-time collaborative communications.
