Edward Hopgood
Global Enterprise Account Manager, Polycom |

Unified Communications has brought the human factor to the fore of technology, prioritizing the user experience and effective person-to-person collaboration. The integration of disparate applications and communications devices is making it easier for users to connect with each other and access information more efficiently, providing them with the tools to make better decisions and achieve greater productivity. But are organizations realizing the full business benefits of Unified Communications? And what is the next frontier beyond Unified Communications as we now know it?
In his address, Edward will provide guidance on how organizations can best leverage Unified Communications environments to achieve corporate objectives, improve operational efficiency, and maximize team performance. Edward will also speak to the future of Unified Communications in the enterprise, and beyond. |
