Most people communicate using a variety of means, including phone calls, e-mails, voicemail, instant messages and conferences.  How can Cisco help tame this onslaught of information into truly "unified" communications?  This session will present an overview and update on the current versions of Cisco Unity, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco Unified Presence Server.  The focus will be on how existing conferencing, collaboration and messaging solutions already allow your organization to "go beyond the phone" to improve communications and increase productivity.

At Cisco (DOW: CSCO) customers come first and an integral part of our DNA is creating long-lasting customer partnerships and working with them to identify their needs and provide solutions that support their success. The concept of solutions being driven to address specific customer challenges has been with Cisco since its inception. Husband and wife Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, both working for Stanford University, wanted to email each other from their respective offices located in different buildings but were unable to due to technological shortcomings. A technology had to be invented to deal with disparate local area protocols; and as a result of solving their challenge - the multi-protocol router was born. Since then Cisco has shaped the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, employees, investors and ecosystem partners and has become the worldwide leader in networking - transforming how people connect, communicate and collaborate.
