Large Enterprise VoIP Deployment WorkshopMonday October 24 - 12:00 - 12:45 pmMonday October 24 - 3:00 - 3:45 pmIntegrating Voice & Data With Business AppsCalculating the True Business Value of IPOrganizations are converging their data and voice systemsinto a single network, providing them with cost savingsand increased operational efficiencies in their offices andbranch sites. Today, these enterprises are takingconvergence to the next level by integrating missioncritical business applications such as CRM, inventorymanagement, and the like into their IP Communicationsnetwork. The presenters will explain how this integrationmakes it possible to create customized IP communicationssolutions that can increase customer service andsatisfaction, improve workforce productivity, and furtherincrease operating efficiencies.Beyond the "traditional" benefits of VoIP such as reducedinfrastructure costs, toll bypass, etc , VoIP offers moresophisticated value through improved productivity,enhanced customer experience, converged applications andthe ability to obtain new sources of revenue growth. Todefine the true value of an IP solution requires examiningmore than the short-term benefits of upgrading thearchitecture; it is also about considering its role as afundamental business asset in a strategic plan designed togenerate financial growth and competitive advantage. Thispresentation will focus on the business goals and benefits ofdeploying an IP-based enterprise communications solution.Monday October 24 - 1:00 - 1:45 pmMonday October 24 - 4:00 - 4:45 pmQoS & Infrastructure issues in DeployingEnterprise VoIPUtilizing Presence to Keep Remote and BranchOffices ConnectedThe roll-out of VoIP presents a quandary. The reality ofhigh expectations for voice quality combined with thechallenges of running voice on IP networks opens up therisk of serious business failure for the network operationsteam. How can an enterprise CIO ensure the delivery ofQoS that VoIP services demand? This session will look atthe specific QoS requirements of VoIP, where those issuesarise in the network, and how to measure and deliverhigh levels of QoS. The presenters will also look at theEthernet edge and Ethernet core to see how othernetwork elements impact QoS.Presence, once considered merely an underlyingtechnology to instant messaging (IM), is becoming itsown killer application, and is posed to go well beyondinstant messaging and deep into the enterprise. Thefuture of presence management is the convergence ofVoIP, data, video, IM and location tracking on top ofwired and wireless networks to display, in an application,the whereabouts and status of a user's colleague. Thissession will explore the role of presence in keepingremote workers and branch offices connected whilemeeting the updated performance expectations of today'sbusiness environments.Monday October 24 - 2:00 - 2:45 pmDelivering Secure & Reliable Enterprise VoIPWith most major telecommunications carriers currently inthe process of deploying VoIP services for massdeployment, it's clear that IP telephony is finally headed forprime time. However, the promise of mass VoIPconsumption also increases the risk for widespread securityviolations, spawning a new sense of urgency to developsecure VoIP solutions now before hackers wreak havoc oncorporate voice networks. This session will examine thespecial demands of enterprise VoIP, with a specialemphasis on delivering secure and reliable IP voice overyour enterprise network.Association Partners8Supporting OrganizationsOctober 24-27, 2005 Los Angeles, California www.itexpo.com 2005 Technology Marketing Corporation.

The speakers willconsider the essential technical differences betweentraditional telephony and IP telephony, the challenges thatthese differences present and the way that they areovercome in successful real-life deployments. The ruleshave significantly changed and the way we think abouttelephony solutions must also change. This is truly a can'tmiss session for attendees looking for a thorough overview.As more and more customers become accustomed to usingVoIP, they'll begin to expect value-added enhancementsand additional benefits, aside from cost savings alone. Whattypes of VoIP-enabled services and applications will bedeveloped to satisfy this demand? What will be the "next bigthing" in the VoIP market? How will savvy vendors, serviceproviders, and application developers take advantage ofthis capability? How will they use VoIP technology to rollout previously impossible or unheard-of applications andmaximize the benefits for end users? Come to this session tocatch a glimpse of the future of enterprise VoIP.Tuesday, October 25 - 11:15 am - 12:00 pmVoIP From the Trenches: Real Life SuccessesThis panel discussion will feature several telecom dealerstalking about their experiences deploying IP in a variety ofindustries.

Presence is theessential element in the migration from device centric touser centric systems, as it integrates user's availability acrossall their devices and applications. But Presence also has adark side which may impede its broad acceptance, namelyconcerns about privacy, time management, enterprise policyand security. Each of these aspects is explored during thissession, and solutions in development, standards bodies,and emerging products are discussed.Wednesday, October 26 - 8:30 - 9:15 amDesigning/Developing Enterprise VoIP SecuritySolutionsWhile VoIP has many positive benefits to corporations, thepotential security risks involved should not be ignored andmust be effectively addressed before a loss in money orprivate data occurs. New products and services must becreated to eliminate these security threats. The speakerswill address the growing need for the communicationsindustry to address and develop VoIP security solutionsnow and for the future. The session will cover howimplementing security at the "core" of the VoIP system, theplatform level, and why ensuring that encryption is syncedfrom the device and network is critical.Wednesday, October 26 - 12:30 - 2:15 pm DOUBLE SESSIONSecurity Challenges in IP TelephonyThis panel discussion, moderated by the chairman of therecently formed VoIP Security Alliance will strive toidentify and reduce VoIP security risks through a numberof ways including educating and providing tools for the ITmanager.

In fact, VoIP plays asignificant role in impacting performance for small- andmedium-size businesses. This session will address thedrivers that affect the SMB market — such as the growingreliance on outsourcing and third-party vendors, thechallenge to utilize remote knowledge workers, and theincreasing pressure to control costs. In addition, this sessionwill cover VoIP-powered applications, like presencemanagement, collaboration, messaging, and mobility, andexamine how SME customers can effectively leverage thesetools to improve business performance.The Challenge of E911 RegulationNationwide, an estimated 200 million calls are made to 911each year. In May, the FCC decided that VoIP providersinterconnecting with the PSTN must deliver E911 calls —with location and callback information — to localemergency operators. The decision raises a host of issues:What information, specifically, must be delivered with thecall? Is network support in place, and at what cost? Whowill enforce the E911 requirement? And how will therequirement apply to enterprise VoIP, where callback andlocation identification pose special challenges? Finally, willthe VoIP legislation pending before Congress supplementor preempt the FCC's decision? Join public safetyadministrators and legal and policy experts to hear thelatest E911 news from Washington and around the country.For more info contact Dave Rodriguez: 203-852-6800 x146 / drodriguez@tmcnet.com 2005 Technology Marketing Corporation.
