mobile ucaas unified comms as a service - disruptive analysis oct 2013
DESCRIPTION
Presentation on the growing practical reality of operator-provided UCaaS propositions. Enterprises are finding it ever-harder to manage mobility & voice/video communications, given device diversity, BYOD and employee behavioural changes in using UC. Hosted options may allow greater flexibility - and also a better platform for future innovations such as app-embedded comms and WebRTC. Carriers can also blend in service value-adds such as roaming deals and WiFi access. Working with a 3rd-party UC vendor is likely to be a better bet than trying to implement UCaaS in an IMS.TRANSCRIPT

BYOD realities Becoming pervasive & inevitable 80%+ of employees use own devices/services for business... ... although a smaller % of companies have a formal BYOD policy BYOD typically driven by productivity, increased mobility & employee
harmony reasons, rather than cost-saving

Retain share of employee comms; manage risk
Need to be realistic: employees have broad choice of comms Some choices made by clients / partners (eg LinkedIn, conferencing)
Companies need mindset of “competing for market share” Corporate policies & S/W for controlling most important risks Education & training of staff about risks Best-in-class tools & apps to capture & retain user “loyalty”
Pick the winnable fights Depends on industry & company
More important to have company service than device

BYOD risks & best-practice
Corporate-approved security software (needs to be cross-OS) Virtualisation / work & personal profiles and data stores Remote-wipe capability Liability for users’ personal data / privacy concerns Employee code-of-conduct Regulatory limits (vary by country / industry) Various issues around apps & containerisation approaches
Move to web-apps, browsers & HTML5 will add complexity Ongoing assessment of consumerisation trends / user
perspective; responsiveness to change

Not just BYOD.... countering the risk of BYOX
If corporate-run communications capabilities are not good enough, employees will start using their own web-based tools
Staff already choose their own phones, WiFi hotspots etc....

Enterprises need both strong policies & capable in-house options to minimise risks of “self-outsourcing”

Changing: Service provider attitudes
In the past, telcos (especially mobile): Too focused on SIMs & minutes Coupling of access + service Limited understanding of enterprise needs & solutions & vendors
Now, things are changing: Fixed/mobile hybrid offers More integration / solutions skill-sets Acceptance of 3rd-party access (WiFi, OTT etc) Willingness to work with key vendors Cloud, API & future potential roadmaps
UCaaS (+mobility) now entering mass market

The role of video in communications
Video really needs to have a clear “purpose” We will not default to “video everywhere”
Even more contextualised than voice & messaging Ergonomics, social norms, behaviour No interruptive straight-to-video calls Numerous niches for B2B, B2C, C2C
Skype calls between distant relatives / expats / diaspora Customer service (NB staff retraining) Personal consulting
Need for interoperability unclear as in-context/in=app

Benefits of WebRTC
Democratises voice & video in websites & apps Add context to communications & vice-versa Cheap / easy / open-source components Advocacy from Google, major vendors, telcos, IETF, W3C etc Enterprises & telcos can extend comms over the Internet Real momentum & enthusiasm No predefined signalling Growing ecosystem even pre-standardisation Realtime data even more disruptive

Conclusions
Mobility & cloud are two key drivers for enterprise comms & IT Mobility = productivity, flexibility, lower costs, higher morale
But need to acknowledge that BYO models inevitable for most Look for tools to help control security & spending... ... & retain enterprise “market share” of employee comms Mobile UCaaS maturing Fits with both BYOD & corporate-issued devices Aligns with future of comms (cloud, APIs, social WebRTC etc)
