Wainhouse Research Study Reveals Mobile Workforce
Unified Communications Options

April 22 2008, Duxbury MA - Every CFO and manager with budget responsibility wants to control mobile workforce costs. In its newest research report, "Mobile Unified Communications: Mobile Workforce Communications Choices for CXOs and Managers" Wainhouse Research describes the mobility solutions offered by 28 different solution providers.

Companies pay for mobility because it enhances employee performance. However, with so many employees becoming mobile, and more on the way, some companies are reporting as much as 1/3 of their total communications spend is for mobile phone charges. Clearly there are significant inefficiencies, and organizations want and need to do better.

In this report, WR discusses which solutions integrate with the enterprise PBX, how they deliver key mobility functions such as single number reach, single voice mailbox, corporate directory access from the mobile handset, which vendors offer mobile clients on PCs and mobile phones, a description of which vendors support dual-mode phones and Wi-Fi devices and how these solutions work and integrate with an overall enterprise unified communications initiative.

The new report covers solutions available from
  • PBX vendors including Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, Siemens, Aastra/Ericsson, ShoreTel, and NEC.
  • Carriers including AT&T, Orange, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and BT.
  • Wireless networking providers including Aruba Networks and Meru Networks.
  • Mobility server providers delivering PBX adjunct solutions including Agito Networks, CounterPath, DiVitas, and RIM.
  • Companies offering solutions for mobile operators including Kineto Wireless, NewStep Networks, Personeta, Tango Networks, and CounterPath.
  • Mobile phone and software providers including Nokia, Microsoft, IBM, Motorola, RIM, and DME.
With so many mobility solutions available, "Mobile Unified Communications: Mobile Workforce Communications Choices for CXOs and Mangers" puts into the hands of CXOs and line managers a single reference document wherein they can find the information they need to understand what is available as well as identify which solutions may meet their needs. By matching their organizational requirements with the strategies and infrastructure solutions described in this report, organizations will be able to make significant progress toward a global, enterprise-wide unified communications initiative that includes the important element of mobility.

"Mobile Unified Communications: Mobile Workforce Communications Choices for CXOs and Mangers" is priced at $3,495 USD and is available now at www.wainhouse.com/ucreports, or contact Sara Fargo, Client Services Manager, at +1 781.934.6165 or sfargo@wainhouse.com .
