When we review our technology roadmaps, with their dark-blue in use and dark-orange not in plan bars, we often look most closely at those technologies that show a robust planning band in the middle, with the preference of course going to those technologies in the short-term implementation plans of network engineering managers. When it comes to the voice and video category in our Wave 9 Networking Study preview data, Unified Communications (UC) solutions is showing the best ongoing integration year-over-year as well as a robust planning band in the next year and a half. Twenty-five percent (25%) of respondents have UC solutions in their short-term plans, and 14% mark it as on the horizon for implementation.
This robust planning band shows 39% of respondents moving toward solutions primarily provided by Cisco and Microsoft, with Avaya a distant third in our preview data.
A sampling of narratives around project initiatives supports this projected growth:
- ?We decided to move unified communications to Microsoft.?
- ?We are putting a huge amount of bandwidth to cover unified communications.?
- ?People comment, it?s like, they access their files much faster, being driven by the unified communications, when we go in and put in unified communications you have to put in new switches, gig switches, everyone gets a gig port, everyone notices. It?s many times better accessing their files.?
- ?Unified communications may result in the need for more bandwidth at satellite offices.?
- ?HP just has a better vision than Cisco does. The downside, they are late to the game with unified communications.?
- ?Avaya has some cool stuff around unified communications.?
