Thinking Beyond Technology
|
|
Videoconferencing has passed the point where the technology is good enough for business applications. It is time to think about style and making a statement with conference room design. The charm of Italian Design is revolutionizing the videoconferencing industry and creating a new emotional experience that transcends the traditional paradigm of legacy equipment. The Aethra workshop will unveil a totally new system that combines life style with rich media collaboration services and ease-of-use. From desktop videoconferencing to luxury telepresence, users will enjoy multimedia collaborative sessions delivered by a powerful UC engine that interoperates with industry standard platforms.

Accelerating Business through Web 2.0
|
|
Unlike many new technologies, Web 2.0 is being driven not by businesses, but by the way consumers have harnessed the web. The WebEx vision of Web 2.0 is in many ways replicating the social networking experience that is relevant to business. For WebEx, Web 2.0 centres around the acceleration of business: harnessing the tools and technologies we've honed for the past 10 years. These tools allow business to use the web for collaboration - the most fundamental of all business processes. This workshop will explore the WebEx vision of Web 2.0 through WebEx Connect, our next generation of web collaboration. WebEx Connect will change business' perception of technology from the 'desktop' to the 'webtop'. It expands the concept of presence and enterprise IM programs to cross-function and cross-company teams and team spaces, with real-time access to each other and documents of common interest.

Mobile Audio and Video Conferencing - Business Conferencing on the move
|
|
Mobility is rapidly becoming a top concern for enterprises. Supporting knowledge workers with conferencing capabilities that work seamlessly in fixed and mobile environments is a challenge being faced by IT managers and conferencing professionals alike. And mobile now means video as well as voice. Mobile videoconferencing enables real-time collaboration between experts at the scene, on the move, and in the office. But setting up a conference call from a mobile device is usually complicated and is therefore rarely used. This workshop will present a new mobile application that makes starting a conference call easy and provides an enhanced user experience. The new service supports joining multiparty videoconferences with any video-enabled device such as 3G mobile phones or IP phones as well as the ability to bring recorded video into a conference for instructional or demonstration purposes.
This workshop is being given by disy and Deutsche Telekom.
