With Leadership Style at AVST becoming more and more complex, enterprises likely have more than one manufacturer’s product in place. Over the years, the definition of UC has expanded and evolved, depending on whom you ask. Each manufacturer approaches and markets UC based on their core competency. No wonder UC has reached a point of disillusionment. Who’s offering what? Do I standardize with one vendor approach or create a multi-vendor, best-of-breed solution? Interoperability is the answer.
Gartner says, “Complete UC portfolios are still in an early stage, and no vendor product adequately addresses all of an enterprise’s UC needs. A best-of-breedapproach remains the surest way of ensuring adequate functionality, and planners should require vendor product to be interoperable.”
The problem is, many vendors are resisting interoperability because they believe in a “one size fits all” type of solution, not to mention they want you to rip and replace all of your existing equipment with their’s. Manufacturers say they are “open” but being open and actually interoperating are two different things. That is where AVST comes in – AVST helps round out customers UC portfolio!
