Will UC be Subsumed by Social? Heck No!
By Blair Pleasant | No Jitter
I was recently speaking with a Siemens Enterprise Communications customer who is in the beginning stages of integrating their Siemens UC with Google Apps, including Google , so their workers can have a unified communications, collaboration, and social experience. This is the tip of the iceberg, and we'll start seeing more and more enterprises deploying integrated UC/collaboration/social solutions. You can hear about more of these examples at my Enterprise Connect session, Case Studies: Creating the Social Enterprise (Monday, March 26 2:00 PM-3:00 PM).
