CSCO ASND Before we join hands to usher in this “golden age of networking” when all media (including telephone, data, television, radio, photography, fax, etc.) converge into a single integrated COMS network, there are some technical issues to be resolved. Specifically, an overall architecture LU for the integration of voice and data networks must be created and new software products and control protocols must be developed and perfected. Long-Term Buy Such new products are currently being engineered by Bellcore and Cisco for Sprint’s new Integrated On-Demand Network (ION) in the traditional telephone market and for Canada’s NN Videotron in the cable TV market. While other vendors are also developing advanced products to NT facilitate the convergence of voice and data, we focus mostly on the Bellcore/Cisco approach as they appear to be leading the race at this point. The objectives of this report are to explain how convergence will really happen and to help investors understand: • how data networks and voice networks will integrate technically and how advanced Technology – Data Networking Equity Research: telephony features (such as call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, 800 numbers, etc.) will operate over data networks William D.

Academic literature exists that discusses digital convergence in various domains. Although UC has received considerable attention in the business press, we are not aware of any academic study within the domain of UC that explains the convergence of platforms and its links to the technology strategy of UC firms. This thesis presents an academic analysis of some platforms underlying UC and the emerging strategies of two software firms within the UC market. The theory of network effects originally developed by Rohlfs is central to the analysis in this thesis.

    Vendor Landscape Publication Calendar (April 2011 to March 2012) Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape Publication Calendar (April 2011 to March 2012) 1 Our Vendor Landscape Calendar April 2011 to March 2012 Info-Tech Research Group advises IT buyers on vendor selection through our Vendor Landscape series of Solution Sets. Our rigorous methodology includes user surveys, vendor briefings, and our own proprietary research process. The following pages of this document indicate the market spaces we will cover and the current (as of this publication) list of vendors we will consider. To learn more, please visit our Vendor Evaluation Methodology. Please note: The schedules indicated herein are subject to change without prior notice. What is the difference between a VL and a VL+? VL: An Info-Tech Vendor Landscape focuses tightly on the vendor evaluation and the Vendor Landscape diagram. The VL gets you right to the point. VL+: An Info-Tech Vendor Landscape Plus starts with the VL but then goes further to provide coverage of strategy and implementation. The VL+ is also accompanied by additional templates and tools. How does Info-Tech decide which format to use? Info-Tech analysts consider market trends and Info-Tech’s existing coverage when deciding whether a market space is covered in a VL+ or VL format. Both formats share the same process and impartial rigor to produce the Vendor Landscape diagram and ranking. The only difference is the additional content.
