Editor's Notes
- In going to discuss how we see the future of communications and some trends within UC
- What is your enterprise’s primary communication device? This might seem like a bizarre question a few years ago. Things are changing very quickly
- 2ndquestionIn three years what do you think your enterprise’s primary communication device will be?
- 1 - If you aren’t familiar with Plantronics, we provide communication solutions to enterprises, consumers, contact centers.2 - Most of these companies are either in a Pilot phase of UC Might be Planning phaseSome have fully adopted and deployed.3 - The way we communicate now is dramatically different than just a few years ago, 4 We have put a lot of resources into understanding the next age of worker and how UC and Plantronics fit in
- [SLIDE 13: Gartner quote]Bob Hafner, a leading Unified Communications advisor for all major companies said it best … Unified Communications is the trend of the future, and about to become indispensable, just like email and the Internet are today.
- 1 - Lot of change is taking placeHow we work, where we work, the devices we use2 - When we were young our parents went to work- came home end of day – work overWork is a task not a place, now we are working in many environments, our cars, our homes, hotel rooms, 3 - 70% of knowledge workers globally are considered mobile professionals, how do we best equip these associates?4 - When do come into office – transformationBecause so mobile or in conference – office space is under utilized, inefficient and expense. So we see businesses dramatically transforming their real estate, drivngcollaboriation, efficiency, productivity, You have open offices, and the more extreme, hoteling where I don’t have an assigned seat, example - 8005 - And the speed of business has changed, just a few years ago receive a voicemail or email yesterday and respond today, no longer the speed of business is fast, people need to communicate synchrounously, im/chat, audio conferences, video calls. Multiple devices – my cell, UC client, skype, home we’ll cover the next age of work and how UC and Plantronics fit in50% of work remotely75% dial in.
- 1 - Workplace 2.0 is a concept introduced by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) to support Council's commitment to workplace renewal.2 - It is a government-wide initiative that is meant to modernize how the public service works3 - The objective of Workplace 2.0 is to create a modern workplace that will attract, retain and enable public servants to work smarter This means new office designs that are flexible and maximize the use of space and technology.4 - updating policies, processes and systems that support public servants in their work, and providing new technologies that allow them to connect, collaborate and communicate across government and with Canadians
- 1 - Across all these types of collaboration voiceis still essential. 2 - People determine meaning far more from the tone of voice, than the words themselves. that’s why email or chat is not alone sufficient. 3 - Voice confirms understanding or misunderstanding, engagement, excitement, it is essential for collaboration and communication.Email examples – when urgent we pick up the phone.
- 1 - Today’s workforce is more mobile and diverse in their communications needs than ever.2 - Our portfolio of solutions is designed to address the different use-cases and segments of your organization, and to meet the increasing need for workspace flexibility.3 - We have matched each of these common use cases with a headset or audio system that optimizes the user’s communications experience.
- Voyager Pro:Our flagship Bluetooth series for mobile office use. All day comfort, exceptional audio quality and performance. Voyager Pro UC is the first headset that knows when you’re wearing it and when you are not. Savi Office:This wireless system family bridges the gap between traditional telephony (desk phone) and PC communications. Provides mobility around campus.Calisto:A family of conferencing and USB handsets that accommodates the needs of the remote worker and unique use cases requiring personal speakerphones. Connects by Bluetooth to the mobile phone, USB to the PC, providing an integrated experience. Blackwire:Our line of corded headsets offers exceptional voice clarity and comfort.

- Just mention 3 products that fit into this category.
- About year and half ago – came out what we refer to as “Simply Smarter Communications”1 - Our new brand strategy, Simply Smarter Communications, is a new, unified approach to communicating and collaborating. It means crystal-clear sound backed by intuitive technology that connects you, every time, without fail. It means smart solutions that give you hands-free mobility, integrate your communications with all your devices, and make you more productive and less stressed2 - So withthe multitude of devices/phones I have, places I work and type of communication, how do we make this easy for users? for example with this headset, which works with my mobile and PC, regardless which is ringing, just placing on my ear answers the call, I didn’t have to answer on that device
