Unified Communications: Is Business interested?
I just clicked through a link passed on to me and found this article on Unified Communications. While Unified Communications has been around a while, it’s still being spoken about as a hot new technology.
This is an interesting perspective and one I’d like to give some thought to. Personally, I don’t see why all the hype. I know Ken, the other author here, has his own perspective. I’d really like to have a debate about it. Many of the people I know and call my colleagues are tentative if not completely unimpressed by the term and implementation process of Unified Communications.
Is Anyone Actually Implementing UC?

A debate has been going on over at No Jitter about whether enterprises are actually adopting Unified Communications (see here, here, here, here, and here). I tend toward the skeptical end of any conversation about how widely a hot new technology is actually being adopted, but I do see a few signs that enterprises are at least paying attention and, where possible, looking for an opportunity to get their feet wet.
I hope you’ll read this article and come back with your own thoughts.

I just posted and responded on my Realtime Unified Communications Community. Not sure I should crosspost the whole post here, but I’ll leave the link for those who read and want to engage in this conversation. If it make sense, I’ll crosspost the piece here too.
