As the cusp of UC technologies and services moving past the early-adopter phase and more into the mainstream, this panel will look at what final hurdles need to be overcome to make this technology accessible to every company. What components of UC are of particular interest and importance and what aspects are nice to have or even irrelevant? This panel of CIOs and IT execs will talk about their experiences with UC, or what they need to see to deploy it in their own networks. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/redir?u=1008394\">Cloud Computing 3.0 Unfurled<\/a><br \/> PRESENTED BY: Mark Hansen &#8211; Cobalt Data Centers, John Stanford &#8211; RMS, James Urquhart &#8211; Enstratius, Michael Vizard &#8211; ITBusinessEdge<\/strong><br \/> Advances in IT automation coupled with advances in security will soon result in a new era of cloud computing in which granular application workloads automatically run on the platform that will best optimize it. As a result, the future of IT will be driven by a system of systems based on different classes of processors, all of which can be logically managed as a single platform. In fact, it may soon make no economic sense to outsource IT at all. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/redir?u=1008394\">The Coming of the Mobile Enterprise<\/a><br \/> PRESENTED BY: John Bollen &#8211; MGM, Steve Martin &#8211; City of Las Vegas, Wendy Schuchart &#8211; Information Week<\/strong><br \/> Mobile computing is becoming the tail that wags the enterprise dog. When most people think of mobile computing they look at their smartphone or tablet. But as mobile computing matures, it&#8217;s clear mobile computing is going to soon change the way enterprise applications are constructed, deployed and managed. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/redir?u=1008394\">Meet the New Chief Integration Officer (CIO)<\/a><br \/> PRESENTED BY: Tim Monahan &#8211; JW Aluminum, Niel Nickolaisen &#8211; Western Governors University, Michael Vizard &#8211; ITBusinessEdge<\/strong><br \/> Instead of managing low level infrastructure the &#8220;I&#8221; in CIO will soon stand for integration, especially as more applications move into the cloud. The question is, are today&#8217;s CIOs up to the task or will a new type of CIO with lots of cloud brokering expertise have to emerge. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/redir?u=1008394\">Technology Rationalization and Integration &ndash; Use Cases for Deploying Next-Gen Tech<\/a><br \/> PRESENTED BY: Brian Eastwood &#8211; CIO.com, Nate Isham &#8211; Green Mountain Coffee, Joe Marcella &#8211; City of Las Vegas, Alexander Wareham &#8211; AAA<\/strong><br \/> Each month, new technologies and platforms are announced, evaluated, sold and deployed, many of which claim to solve the &#8220;next&#8221; big problem enterprise IT managers face. These technologies range from UC to VoIP to Wireless Offload to Big Data Analytics and they all must be rationalized within and integrated into networks designed for far less complex technologies. This panel will examine what it takes to successfully integrate new technologies into existing, diverse network environments and how each challenge can, or cannot be, successfully overcome. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/redir?u=1008394\">Business Processes Get Social<\/a><br \/> PRESENTED BY: Mike Essig &#8211; Hard Rock Hotel, Robert Murnane &#8211; Polaris, Erik Linask &#8211; TMC<\/strong><br \/> Social networking sites such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest are now part of the corporate culture.
