Fixed Mobile Convergence Conference
September 5-7, 2007
Chicago, Illinois

Achieving Competitive Advantage through Effective Enterprise Mobility

Is Fixed Mobile Convergence about services from a carrier, or solutions for the user? With technology such as Bluetooth, Dualmode phones, IMS, Microcell, Picocell, UMA, WiFi, and WiMAX all discussed as part of the FMC mix its hard to get a handle as to whether these are complimentary or competitive solutions. The answers come when looked at in the context of the needs. An Enterprise may want to gain control of your expenses. A carrier may want to offer a service or extend their network. The real question is where is the value?

Come to The Fixed-Mobile Convergence Conference where you will learn:

  • What are the Fixed-Mobile offerings that will scale and work in your company
  • How to integrate your PBX with your wireless service provider slash your wireless bills
  • What FMC will do to your current IT architecture
  • How to increase worker productivity while reducing costs
  • Next steps for implementing an effective FMC strategy

What’s happening in the Market?

The introduction of wireless communication devices into the Enterprise, such as cell phones and PDAs have significantly increased worker productivity, but have also increased costs, as cellular network usage has skyrocketed.

Voice remains the most costly piece of the ICT budget, and the costs are only growing as more employees become part of the mobile workforce. Fixed Mobile Convergence allows wireless users to utilize the enterprise’s fixed line network to greatly reduce the number of billable cellular minutes while adding additional functionality to their mobile devices.

An effective fixed-mobile strategy provides increased workforce productivity and a more reliable communication platform, while reducing overall costs. With the obvious benefits of fixed mobile converged services, the question now is how to implement an effective fixed-mobile strategy.

At the Fixed Mobile Convergence Conference you will hear from Enterprises, Carriers, Solution Providers, Analysts and thought leaders on how you can take the next steps, evaluate product offerings and avoid the pitfalls. Come to Chicago and develop a strategy to…

  • Deploy fixed and mobile telephony through a consolidated and centralized service
  • Leverage existing PBX technology or future fixed-line investments while delivering cost-effective and seamless mobility
