Enterprise VoIP 2008 ForumInmarsat Conference Centre, 99 City Road, London EC1 The 100 IT decision makers who attended the Enterprise VoIP 2008 Forum on 23rd September, were full of praise in their feedback questionnaires for both the usefulness of the speaker's presentations, and the networking opportunities with VoIP vendors and their peers at the event. The popular opinion was that the forum had been "informative and well worth the time". They listened to presentations from senior representatives from Cable & Wireless, Tiscali Business Services, Network Instruments, EVUA and Inrich Consulting. The delegates at the Enterprise VoIP 2008 Forum included IT and Network Managers from Corporates and Government. Including representatives from ABN Amro, Accantia, Barnados, BBC, DHL Express, Eurofins Laboratories, General Motors Europe, Huntingdonshire District Council, Invictus Services, Lincolnshire County Council, Marriott Hotels, National Grid, RNIB, Suffolk Constabulary, The Health Foundation and US Dept of Commerce, to mention a few. This is what they had to say about the event: "This was a good event well executed with good presenters" "A good forum to explore knowledge experience of presenters" "Overall was very good. Wish we had the Inrich Consulting presentation about 8 months ago before doing our VoIP procurement" "Very good - provided me with a good overview of current VoIP situation" "Good insight into benefits and challenges of VoIP" "Very well hosted with good speakers" "It was very good"
Introduction IntroductionVoIP (Voice over IP) offers a flexible, cost-effective and secure alternative to expensive traditional leased lines, and is an especially effective and efficient means of communication for companies who have multiple sites, are adding additional branches, or for the scheduled replacement of existing networks. VoIP can also enable organisations to extend secure and cost-effective connectivity to teleworkers who can become part of the office LAN via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). However, unlike traditional telephone networks it can be integrated with text and video based IP services, and can be offered in a wide range of desktop, laptop and mobile devices and appliances. According to industry analyst Juniper Research, the VoIP market will contribute $32bn, or roughly 12 per cent, to the total telephony market by 2009. The market in Europe has moved from "lots of hype and no action" to a situation where VoIP is on the corporate agenda. However, whilst VoIP is currently on the minds of many IT Managers, concerns about implementation, quality of service (QoS), network performance, immature standards, voice quality and security still abound. IT executives who are looking to discover if they can achieve real return on their investments from VoIP, find it increasingly difficult to get unbiased and clear information. This one-day event plans to fill that need.
The aim of the forumThe Enterprise VoIP 2008 Forum aims to give IT, Network, ICT and Telecoms Managers from end user organisations (from both the private and public sectors) a thorough insight into the strategic and business issues relating to VoIP implementation and management, whilst at the same time providing a platform for networking with leading vendors of VoIP technology and solutions at the accompanying exhibition.
Key issues to be discussedWhat are the real business benefits of VoIP?
The forum formatThe Enterprise VoIP 2008 Forum will consist of a one-day conference with a series of presentations from leading industry experts, vendors and analysts, together with actual end user case studies.
