Over the past year there has been significant activity in the landscape of unified communications. However, while every vendor has the same long term vision, what's available to most enterprises is significantly different from vendor to vendor, which raises several questions.

• Should you adopt now or wait?
• Whose solution is best suited for your needs?
• What are the immediate benefits that can be recognized?
• What are the risks involved?

The Yankee's Group's Senior VP of Enterprise Research, Zeus Kerravala, will also address various approaches to unified communications, the major barriers to adoption and some strategies on how to get started with unified communications.
