HP Releases Unified Communications Solutions for Anytime, Anywhere Enterprise Communications

By Robbie Pleasant


HP has announced the release of new solutions and services, designed to improve collaboration and business responsiveness. The Voice Transformation solutions, Virtual Workplace Solutions, and Network Readiness Services will address the difficulties organizations encounter with integrating telephony and communications applications.

HP Voice Transformation Solutions help clients build a foundation for creating a productive and agile workplace for improved customer responsiveness. Among its benefits are: simplified collaboration with VoIP and traditional phone systems extended via IP, creating a single conduit for voice, data and video; customized voice transformation roadmap-based approach that allows clients to evolve their communication infrastructure as they desire; and the ability to share information by consolidating voice messaging and audio conferencing into a single interface.

With the HP Virtual Workplace Solutions, employees can improve their productivity, connectivity, and responsiveness by improving the flow of information and communication between the organization, suppliers, and partners. It's a single, cohesive platform, integrating unified messaging, web, video, and data to secure intellectual property. With its virtual workplace architecture, UC solutions are delivered to an employee's device of choice, based on computing and accessibility needs.

The HP Network Readiness Services for UC coordinate network readiness with clients' UC roadmaps, eliminating network barriers to help clients archive their enterprise communication goals.

"HP is applying their broad system integration capabilities into the UC space," says David H. Yedwab, UCStrategies UC Expert. "No surprises here but, I always question why HP isn’t a mainline player in this important space that would assist it in competing with key competitors such as Cisco, Dell and, to some extent, IBM."

According to Blair Pleasant, co-founder of UCStrategies, “By providing these new solutions and services, and working with some of the leading UC players, including Microsoft, Polycom, Alcatel-Lucent, and Avaya, HP is becoming a more active and important UC player. UC solutions are generally complex and require services that can help overcome interoperability issues, and to ensure that the solutions deployed will be optimized for the customer’s network and infrastructure. If HP can help customers put together the right solutions and ensure that they have the right infrastructure and environment for these solutions, then everyone wins.”

The solutions and services are available now through HP Technology Consulting. For more information, visit www.hp.com.
