Hewlett Packard has announced a solutions suite which brings
together voice, fax, email, voicemail, video/data/audio conferencing,
collaboration, wireless and mobile technologies as it tries to muscle
in on the recent Microsoft Cisco tie up on Unified Communications.
Perhaps it looked like HP was left out when the two 800 pound
gorillas announced their co-opertition deal, but in Fact HP is directly
leveraging its existing global alliances with the two and hopes to
"capitalize on their respective strengths and leadership in
the UC market", according to a company statement.
Though it didn't take part in the Microsoft/Cisco announcement, HP
says it is right in the middle of the tie up between the two, helping to bridge Microsoft
software and Cisco's
communication solutions.
HP's expertise in telecommunications and collaboration solutions,
data networking, enterprise messaging, partner infrastructures, and
enterprise services enables it to deliver high-quality and cohesive
enterprise communication solutions.
"HP provided the expertise in the Microsoft and Cisco platforms to
seamlessly integrate them together and offer a truly unified
communications experience," said Darryl Warren, chief information
officer with Lion Nathan.
The solutions will help bring together a wide range of devices such
as HP's iPAQ handhelds, notebooks and desktop PCs, printers, HP's Halo
telepresence solutions, enterprise messaging, networking tools, mobile
technologies, servers, data storage, security services, management
software, and collaboration and communication products.
The Unified Communications portfolio includes:
- Assessment, strategy and architecture services that help
enterprise customers create custom roadmaps to plan their UC
transformation;
- Migration to IP solutions that enable an IT
organization to implement network infrastructure upgrades and
enhancements, including Internet protocol telephony (IPT), voice over
IP (VoIP) and call centers;
- Messaging and UC solutions that provide enterprise
customers with email and calendar, unified messaging, presence, and
voice integration for more efficient communications;
- Collaboration solutions that enable businesses to
integrate telepresence and video/data/audio/web conferencing offerings,
software-based collaboration tools and portal solutions, rich presence,
mobility/fixed mobile convergence and wireless in secure environments;
-
Integrated business solutions that enable business processes and software applications to be seamlessly integrated;
-
Support services that provide enterprise customers with complete lifecycle services, to help maximize return on investment.
