TMC is very excited to announce that Sonus CTO Vikram Saksena will be a keynote speaker at ITEXPO this September. Saksena is responsible for the advanced technology direction in which Sonus heads and as such he is in a tremendous position to help service providers understand carrier technology is going.Sonus is a leader in the IP communications space and they have accomplished a great deal over the years. They have successfully taken on much larger players in the IP communications equipment space and done a great job.
What can you learn from Saksena? How about -- Is IMS important to your success? What applications are generating real revenue worldwide? Where can service providers save money while increasing flexibility?
These are just some of the areas where he will focus and I am excited to hear him speak. Be sure to be at Internet Telephony Conference & Expo West 2007 September 16-18 in Los Angeles, CA.
