Trade Fairs and Conference International (TFCI) had recently organized ‘Voice Over IP 2008 Conference’ in Mumbai. The agenda was to discuss important issues such as NextGen Technologies, Planning & Implementing IP Telephony, Managing Staff, Technology & Costs, Unified Communications and Mobile/Wireless.

The one-day conference was represented by industry experts from the IT companies such as Microsoft India, Nortel, Wipro, Reliance Web World, Sify, and Net4India who expressed their views on issues the agenda looked at addressing. The Conference discussed the Unified Communication in great detail.

“The biggest Roadblock that a Unified Communication process faces, today is the lack of awareness of the next level of internet. There are many countries who are already taking steps, to venture in to the next level, with the help of v6 Server,” said Amit Mehta, Director, Unified Communication, Microsoft India.

“Many companies spend 52 per cent of their time, reaching out to people and ultimately failing to do so. Virtualization helps in speeding up this process, which not only saves time, but also helps in maintaining cash flow and profit of the company,” said J. B Singh, National Manager/ General Manager- VOICE, Sify Technologies.

Mr. Amlan Bhattacharya, Head, Voice Solutions Practice, Wipro India insisted that Unified Communication has come at an age where people have modes available for communication. Mr. Dipesh Mohile, Senior Analyst from Tonse Telecom opined that the Unified Communication would be future in India in the communication spectrum.

The conference was concluded by the fact that Enterprises today are preparing their networks and environments for Unified Communications, increasing the need for IP PBXs and SIP-enabled systems, while the corporate and technology managers can use such functionality as rich presence, IM, dual mode, handsets, VoWifi and soft phones integrated with the PBX. They will also integrate conferencing and collaboration tools along with the evolution of e-mail to support voice mail and rich media, as well as mobility solutions.
