Why are so many enterprises now turning to Conferencing Managed Service providers? Learn the latest developments in the cMSP sector, understand how one major manufacturer works with its channels to provide a superlative service for its customers and hear from four leading cMSP vendors.

Overview

This one day, multi-location meeting, hosted by Polycom in their Telepresence studios, will take an in-depth analysis of the cMSP sector. Participants at each meeting will hear from Wainhouse Research's Andrew Davis on what he sees happening in this fast moving area and why now may be the right time to consider managed services for your enterprise. Wainhouse Research has prepared a detailed set of questions that we believe challenge the cMSP vendor community on the hot topics facing the enterprise today. This questionnaire has been issued to four leading cMSP vendors they will present their responses to the meeting. Participants are offered the opportunity to weight the questions and score each of the four vendor's presentations.

Benefits of attending

This multi-location meeting, facilitated by Wainhouse Research, provides participants a unique opportunity to network with their peers, learn Wainhouse Research's latest perspective on what's happening in the cMSP industry today and score four leading cMSP vendors against criteria defined by Wainhouse Research. Participants will be able to take away their own personal score cards and receive a free copy of the collated results following the session.

Who should attend?

This meeting is open to all end-user, conferencing and collaboration professionals. To make this session as accessible as possible we are kindly hosted and sponsored by Polycom in four Telepresence studios in Andover, Chicago, New York City and Herndon. Wainhouse Research's Andrew Davis and Richard Norris will attend two locations to facilitate and support this meeting.

Gala Dinner

A free gala dinner will be provided for all participants at each location on the evening preceding each meeting. This will allow participants a great chance to get to know each other and enjoy a relaxing evening of food and drink before the hard work begins! Watch this space for further information!
