Some key findings from this report...
Enterprise expenditure on mobility solutions,
by geography ($m)
• No single vendor holds a decisive lead in the enterprise
mobility market as a variety of technologies are required to deploy
an enterprise mobility solution. However IBM, RIM and Nokia are
likely to maintain their position as leaders.
• Voice/data convergence vendor share of mind is dominated by
Cisco with IBM, Siemens, Nortel, Alcatel, and Avaya holding a
significantly lower share.
• The leading inhibitor to UC is the cost of implementation
meaning that it is key that vendors prove the return on investment
of their UC solutions.

“North America, Asia Pacific and Western Europe are
clearly the largest markets for enterprise mobility
solutions. They are also the regions showing the most
growth potential with the combined market for these
regions expected to grow from an estimated $97bn in
2007 to $122bn by 2012. Despite this, by 2011 these
regions may start saturating and slower growth is
expected...“
• Voice/data convergence solutions penetration only increased a
couple of percentage points between 2006 and 2007. However,
penetration should increase, with most growth over the medium
term (6 months to 2 years) particularly for IP-PBXs.
• IBM and Microsoft are gaining more influence in the voice/data
convergence market through their unified communications
solutions. Microsoft’s share of mind is set to grow through the
‘Office Communications Server’ and ‘Office Communicator’
products, and strong partnerships with leading vendors.

“Enterprises are particularly hesitant to invest if they
see no fault in their traditional system and it may be
difficult to find a business case for new communications
investments. This may help to explain why penetration
has not reached 50% for any of the voice/data
convergence technologies. Although IP PBX technology
will eventually become ubiquitous, this will take much
longer than anticipated...“
In the long term increasing customer satisfaction is likely to increase
revenues through advocacy or upsell to those that have a good
relationship with the vendor. The ‘customer experience’ is something that
enterprises are becoming more focused on and since telephone and
email are likely to remain the main channels of communication, it is vital
for the enterprise to have a reliable network in place and provide a good
service to the customer through these means.

”Although some enterprises are considering
widespread adoption of mobility solutions there is no
evidence yet to suggest this is a mainstream view. As it
stands currently, the evidence suggests that enterprises
will adopt a low-risk strategy and focus on solutions
which have a proven ROI and are well established.
Of the 25 enterprises that made mobility their largest
IT project in 2007, almost two thirds of these were
smaller investments of less than $100,000...”

Chapter 4: Voice/data convergence - User adoption trends
Drivers
The leading objective in deploying convergence solutions is to raise productivity in the workplace. IP telephony and
unified communications enable faster connections to colleagues through the use of centralized address books and click
to call functionality. Efficient usage of these technologies ensures time is not wasted looking up colleague or customer
details and presence allows users to assess availability and quickly decipher the best means of communication. A
combination of these technologies can help optimize business processes by speeding up employee administration time.
Interestingly, productivity improvements and customer satisfaction are thought of as higher priorities than cutting costs.
However in the long term increasing customer satisfaction is likely to increase revenues through advocacy or up sell to
those that have a good relationship with the vendor. The ‘customer experience’ is something that enterprises are
becoming more focused on and since telephone and email are likely to be the main channels of communications, it is
vital for the enterprise to have a reliable network in place and provide a good service to the customer through these
means.
These developments stem from a change in enterprise culture: where cost savings were previously driving technology
investments, enterprises now realize that gaining the loyalty of customers and employees can deliver a competitive
advantage.
Another notable driver of investments is the end-user. Technology cycles mean that consumer and enterprise
technologies often interconnect and influence one another. Internet telephony such as Skype and the use of instant
messaging in the home is having an influence on the availability of software and advanced features in the workplace. This
is highlighted by the survey which shows employee satisfaction as one of the top drivers for deploying convergence
solutions.
There is also a drive towards standardizing
infrastructures in order to optimize processes and to
control and reduce the cost of communications. This
is often a key consideration for enterprises when
deploying new telephony systems and is particularly
true for governmental and financial organizations that
have high levels of confidential data being
transferred over their telephone and data networks as
well as tight regulations to abide by. This may explain
why these two industries are contributing to the rapid
adoption of IP-PBX solutions.
The increase in distributed branches and flexible working means that IP telephony is becoming more important.
Employees working from different locations need access to the corporate directory and likewise colleagues need to be
able to get in touch with them. The fact that telephones are not hard wired with IP telephony means they be carried with
employees from office to office. This is also an opportunity for enterprises to save on mobile costs from their remote and
home workers.
