Future of mobile Unified Communication

In the current commercial battlefield without smoke, acquisitions and acquisitions are commonplace. This seems to be an active phenomenon in the mobile unified communication field. Now, let's look at the essence behind them through this phenomenon, that is, the "Inside Story" of the mobile Unified Communication Market.

First, let's talk about a similar purchase event from Cisco. Cisco acquired Flip last year. Everyone thought Cisco was about to move from the enterprise market to the consumer market. What is the result? Cisco has brought us the concept of "visual network. A few months later, Cisco CEO Chambers told people at the Partners Summit in Boston about another role of Flip-transmitting video through telepresence.

What do we learn from HP's acquisition of Palm? Will Palm be a strategic step for HP mobile UC mobile Unified Communication? I tried to contact people from HP to find out the truth, but unfortunately I didn't know anything. I have to doubt that this is a "big shot" because some recent comments have hinted at these possibilities.

"The smartphone market is huge and profitable, with a market share of over $100 billion and an annual growth rate of over 20%," said Todd Bradley, vice president of HP's Personal Systems Group. But we also see further opportunities, not just smartphones. We can integrate with web OS and launch a highly integrated platform to obtain user experience, promote our developer community, and ultimately provide our users with a richer, more value-for-money experience."

In addition, Tim Sheedy of Forrester elaborated on the significance of the HP Palm marriage to CIOs, indicating that this is related to the enterprise's IT or communication architecture. Obviously, Palm doesn't seem to be competing with iPhone, Nokia, BlackBerry, etc. It has more important power points.

In particular, when you think about how to connect HP's acquisition of 3Com with the incident, you will initially find that HP's Palm plan and mobile's Unified Communication Strategy certainly cannot be separated. After all, mobile Unified Communication is the focus and focus of the current and future years. A unified terminal is a necessary link to achieve this strategy.

Numerous facts have shown that unified communication can help enterprise employees enjoy greater flexibility and improve personal productivity and team collaboration efficiency.

In fact, with the rapid development of wireless communication technology, high-speed wireless network technologies such as 3G and LTE are playing an important role in unified communication. The two main branches of Unified Communication are UC-CUC-Consumers, unified Communication for individual consumers) and UC-BUC-Business, and Unified Communication for Business) are expected to be unified. This means that the era of mobile Unified Communication-truly having 5A communication anytime, anywhere, any device, any network and any application) is coming to us.

Interestingly, the fact is that enterprise employees need to communicate in a unified manner, while ordinary consumers need to communicate in a unified manner. Of course, most of the time these two identities are uniform-they are employees at work, they are common consumers in life. With the rise of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, more and more enterprises begin to consider joining these popular social network interfaces for the convenience of employees. On the one hand, this is the art of management. On the other hand, social networks are not only entertainment, but also important media for corporate image promotion, sales customer contact, networking, and relationship maintenance.

Smart phones and other mobile terminals have created conditions for such integration. Mobility has become an important indicator of whether a Unified Communication System is advancing with the times. Foreign companies have established professional mobility forums to discuss these issues. All of these indicate that mobile Unified Communication is about to enter a high-speed growth period.
