Next-Generation Unified Messaging
The Issue
For some, migration to unified messaging is a key component of VoIP plans. For others, voice messaging replacement has a new urgency and is being addressed separately. Many factors lead to this renewed interest: obsolescence of legacy voicemail systems, e-discovery and compliance rules, and the need for new capabilities to support remote workers. Finally, enterprises are looking to reduce the cost of managing complex disparate systems assembled by distributed purchasing or acquisition of other businesses.

The latest data breach at a U.S. enterprise involved no malware, no cloaking software, not even a slip of the firewall. Several former employees simply handed over their old logins and passwords to the culprits. And the story is likely to be repeated at another businesses. Google's online filing cabinet for medical records opened to the public last week, giving users instant electronic access to their health histories and reigniting privacy concerns. Google Health combines Google¹s classic search services with a user's personal health records online, making it available to pharmacies, doctors and hospitals anywhere.
