Cloud-based Convergence of Desktop, Communications & Social Apps: Microsoft Office 365 vs. Google Gmail/Docs
Location: Room 1E08 Google has always been cloud-based, but Microsoft is also promoting cloud-based versions of its office-productivity software, via the Office 365 cloud-based service. This market development has resulted in Google winning some enterprise accounts for its Gmail service, but is Gmail ready for prime time? And the larger question is: Now that Google and Microsoft have added communications “hooks” into their office suites, are we on the verge of another round of convergence? Will enterprises move toward (or away from) Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365, etc., based on the effectiveness of these systems’ integrated communications functionality? In this session, industry experts will help you understand how cloud-based office applications use communications integration to enable and promote collaboration. Moderator - Eric Krapf, Editor, No Jitter Panelist - Kevin Kieller, Principal, enableUC Kevin Kieller is a partner with enableUC, a company that helps measure, monitor and improve Unified Communications and collaboration usage and adoption.

Leveraging Voice and Video in the Cloud: Integrating Skype, GoogleVoice and Other Platforms with Enterprise UC
Location: Room 1E09 Your enterprise probably has users, customers and partners on Skype, and many may use GoogleVoice as well. If your enterprise IP communications platform could talk to these public services, you could greatly expand your reach, using voice, video or other collaboration modes, without ever touching the legacy PSTN. Skype and Google both have the global scale and branding to position themselves at the center of a new public network—but the matter is complicated by Skype’s acquisition by Microsoft, and Google’s potential to compete with the vendors in this space. This session will help you understand the mechanisms available today to use cloud-based providers like Skype and Google to reach your stakeholders with all-IP communications; it will also show you the obstacles to this goal. You’ll come away with a grasp of the state of the art today, and what you can expect tomorrow.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Location: Room 1E15 It’s a foregone conclusion for many that tablets, handsets, and the app-centric environments central to their very definition will be the bulk of the new enterprise edge in the very near future. But wait –here’s an outrageous (to some) but very fair question: does an app-centric strategy even make sense outside the consumer domain? Given huge volumes of data and ever-increasing demands for both security and integrity, can apps form the basis (or even the norm) of successful mobile strategies, or will the Web and the cloud dominate extend their influence here? Join us for a fast-paced debate of this key decision point.

3:15 PM – 4:15 PM Location: Room 1E16 What if every application comes with its own communications function? A good example of how this is playing out is in the SaaS CRM market, where cloud-based leader salesforce.com has added a collaboration component called Chatter to its platform. Does Chatter portend a new model, one in which communications functionality is fragmented, implemented in a series of the enterprise’s business critical apps, relegating the core communications function to a lower-layer, default choice for a dwindling number of users whose primary interface is still the desktop telephone? In this session, we’ll examine salesforce.com Chatter and similar approaches to basing your enterprise’s communications capabilities within your most mission-critical business apps.

Social media is now the top delivery vehicle for malware. And social media attacks are no longer limited to those who simply post a wealth of private information to these sites. Rather, they utilize advanced techniques, such as click jacking, spear phishing and password sniffing. By not only expanding the information we are placing on social websites, but also being too trusting of fellow users and eagerly sharing our opinion with that ever popular “like” button, we are making the job of social engineering easier for the bad guys. Let’s move from defense to offense and regain control of our accounts.
