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 resilient, integrated, and adaptive network infrastructure is a critical component of today's communications systems. Businesses require a network that provides a secure foundation optimized for data, wireless, and unified communications. As voice traffic travels over the same IP network that data traffic uses, companies are able to leverage theomminir investment in data security to protect their voice traffic through the creation of a secure and scalable network infrastructure.

The bulk of Voice over IP (VoIP) calls being made are still not properly secured, leaving businesses open to a variety of attacks from eavesdropping to vishing and SPIT. In order for companies to counter the escalating risk associated with VoIP and minimise cost, security needs to be a consideration from day one.
