Mobility, Collaboration and BYOD

Technology helps to transform how and where people work. Today’s business is about mobility, real-time collaboration, and a globally dispersed workforce. Leveraging that technology -whether it be video, smartphones, tablets, speech recognition, presence management or social media -to provide instant communication and collaboration within a company, as well as communicating with customers and prospects alike- is key and becoming increasingly based upon personal attitudes and choice.

Businesses and users continue to migrate away from inefficient and expensive legacy platforms of the past-mobility is as much about the technology as well as folks attitudes and behavior towards it.

Mobility via Speech Technology Old directory-trees, spell-the-name directories, and voicemail systems are no longer effective for employees and customers that are using various mobile devices and connecting from remote locations. They are time wasters. Speech technology has been around for a while and today’s speech technology helps callers locate, communicate and collaborate in real time-even bringing those legacy systems into relevancy via speech. Speech is no longer a nice to have-but a have to have.

Speech Technology keeps mobile employees and customers connected and for enterprises-creates a numberless enterprise: With solutions like Mobiso, speech technology provides the simplicity to call, message or conference by simply speaking the name of the person, product or team they want to reach – no thumbling on various keyboards required! Safety is key here too.

Voice messages are able to be translated into text and can be delivered to the recipient in their preferred method – via email alerts or SMS messaging. Recipients can now efficiently review and manage content, easily retrieve messages with mobile devices, and avoid manual transcription of items like names, phone numbers, and addresses.

Real Time Collaboration & Enterprise Integration

Expensive software & hardware frameworks are no longer required to offer seamless communication tools, or host video conference features. Cloud-based business communications providers offer web based systems for businesses providing access to voice services, video conferencing and contact centers for a monthly price and even for free in some cases.

Spoken words can be translated to text and typed words converted to speech, creating a seamless communications experience for all parties. Presence-aware help desks, integrated contact center solutions, and other applications that can be accessed by a variety of business partners and clients – help to make keypads obsolete.

Invoking these valuable UC services with Mobiso’s speech technology make those connections smarter and more efficient.

Virtualization Energizes Cal State University

John Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years.

Featured How-To Note

Storage Virtualization Design and Deployment

A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center.
