The concept of business collaboration is not new. For many years, organisations have interacted with others, from sharing supply chain data to establishing collaborative sales agreements. Today, organisations increasingly view collaboration as a fundamental part of their long-term survival. More than one-half of all executives polled say collaboration will either form an important part of their competitive advantage or will actually be central to survival over the next three years. While successful collaboration hinges primarily on people and communication skills, technology plays an enablement role.

More and more, organisations are moving away from a totally controlled or centralised delivery of collaboration technology to the adoption of tools that are appropriate in their context and mode of work, and influenced by the end-user. Organisations are always looking to maximize the use of their investment in technology, while delivering more flexible and effective ways for their staff to communicate and collaborate. Integrating all forms of communication - from telephony to email, web conferencing to instant messaging (IM) - helps to deliver a richer communications environment that ultimately results in cost savings and productivity increases.

Many people report using many different channels and applications for communication each day. Ironically, more tools do not imply more effective communication. In practice, many employees fail to reach their colleagues on the first attempt, given the choice of channels and a lack of context around the most effective method, based on a colleague’s status. It’s no wonder then that many organisations worldwide are taking the first steps in unifying their business communications channels in order to improve their employees’ productivity and reduce the delays and costs associated with business communications.

Dimension Data's 'Seven Key Steps for Identity Management in a Unified Communications World' provides practical guidance on how your business can enables its people to use the most appropriate communication medium for the task at hand and to switch/merge channels as necessary.

A powerpoint presentation introducing the Toshiba CIX range of systems

e/pop Web and Video Conferencing software provides state-of-the art PowerPoint, document, application and desktop sharing, remote control, and multiparty audio and video conferencing.

e/pop is available as on-premise installed software or as a fixed price hosted application. The software does not have any dependencies nor does it require previously installed web servers, proxy, gateway, voice or database servers or any other complex server prerequisite. Installation takes 5 minutes or less!

Fully Featured:

Incorporating true, multi-party VoIP and internet video conferencing as standard features, not optional add-ons, participants see smooth, clear, crisp video that works. The implementation is entirely in software, and requires only standard USB video conferencing cameras, but works equally well with broadcast quality HD cameras. The experience rivals hardware-based video conferencing equipment costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. To help you effectively manage bandwidth, you can click on any video display and change the size, quality and frame rate - all in real-time. With up to 30fps and 20 live videos per meeting room e/pop is the intelligent alternative.

Record & Playback is a standard feature that extends far beyond traditional solutions that are limited to capturing PowerPoint slides or just an audio track, and allows the web meeting host to save the entire rich media session with a click of the mouse. Sessions including audio, desktop, browser, region, application and PowerPoint sharing can be saved in multiple cross-platform formats, including Macromedia Flash and Windows AVI.

Secure Conferencing:

e/pop web conferencing is one of the most private and secure web conferencing solutions available today. First and foremost, it is available as installable software (customer premise server) for the ultimate in complete control. e/pop is also available as an online service (hosted server), for ease of secure service activation.

With on-premise software, you have complete control over physical security, web conference routing, and access to server event logs. You also have user-level controls, for example, you can enforce server-wide SSL/TLS, or allow SSL to be optional for each conference. WiredRed's SSL3/TLS implementation provides RC4, IDEA, DES, 3DES, AES, RSA encryption as various options to the SSL3/TLS standard and SHA or MD5 hashing for signing. Options for signing, encryption and key length are configurable at the server (from 40 to 4096 bits).

Additionally, e/pop has QoS feature controls such as limiting sharing and remote control capabilities as well as video resolutions, frame rate and quality.

Developer Ready:

The e/pop Web Conferencing Server includes a complete web services interface. It is an industry standard XML/SOAP API providing the facilities needed to completely "front-end" the e/pop real-time web, audio and video conferencing server with your own application.

The web conferencing library provides complete web services access to the e/pop Web Conferencing server. It is based on the XML standard to provide RPC remote procedure calls from virtually any development environment or platform. The interfaces to the server are exposed to developers through an WSDL compatible interface. WSDL works with virtually any development platform (C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic and Delphi) and works on almost any platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris and Unix).

These capabilities can be used to simplify the user experience and/or completely integrate web, audio and video conferencing with your own application and billing systems.
