VOSS Solutions has been selected as one of six companies chosen as a finalist for Enterprise Connect Orlando’s Best of Enterprise Connect Award. The Best of Enterprise Connect winner will be announced during the event, which is happening March 26-29, 2012 at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, FL.

VOSS and ISI Telemanagement Solutions have collaborated on a UC Business Analytics solution which will be showcased at Enterprise Connect, the leading conference and exposition on enterprise communications and collaboration. The five members of the Best of Enterprise Connect Judging Committee reviewed all entries and selected finalists based on the products with the most significant technical impact, helping to revolutionize the enterprise communications industry.
The UC Business Analytics solution solves a number of key problems facing the enterprise communications industry today, including:
· Foremost is the fact that most Telecom Expense Management systems today cannot measure and allocate the costs of unified communications applications, nor shared network resources, such as video bandwidth. As traditional call costs fall, or become flat-rate, the costs of UC cannot be ignored. Unless organizations measure these costs, they will overspend. For example, my UC vendor is saying that I need to order more licenses, but can I re-allocate licenses from one division to another instead?
· New UC services, such as social media, are much more dynamic in nature. Users will need access to social media applications on a project-by-project basis. They will want to self-subscribe to these services through online portals, in real-time; not through the IT help desk.
· The introduction of “fixed-mobile convergence” and “bring-your-own-device” means that device costs are also becoming critical to measure and allocate. BYOD looks attractive, but if uncontrolled, will result in additional device and application licenses, network resources and management costs.
Christopher May, VP and Co-founder at VOSS Solutions, commented; “The UC Business Analytics solution is a result of a close collaboration between VOSS and ISI. We see this solution as the next stage in the evolution of UC fulfillment and telecom expense management, delivering integrated UC business analytics for enterprises to achieve greater efficiencies and lower costs with UC applications and mobile devices.”
David Dishek, VP Business Development at ISI Telemanagement Solutions added; “We’re very excited that the judging panel has nominated this solution as a Best of Enterprise Connect finalist. This confirms our belief that integration between UC fulfillment and telecom expense management is crucial to the future success of UC environments.”
“We want to congratulate Best of Enterprise Connect finalists for their innovation within the enterprise communications market,” said Eric Krapf, Enterprise Connect Co-Chair. “The Best of Enterprise Connect Award honors exhibitors who are leading the industry and continue to present the latest in technological advancements. We applaud VOSS and ISI, and look forward to presenting the Best of Enterprise Connect award onsite at the event.”
