Throughout the Gulf, property developments of all shapes and sizes are breaking records as cities race to reinvent themselves as the perfect modern metropolis. Competition between property developers is driving each new project to be bigger, better or taller than the previous one.
The Internet, broadband access, camera phones, voice-over-IP, instant messaging, social networking, video uploading – all make obvious the increasing importance of communications and connectivity in our daily lives.
Hanan Abdel Meguid, CEO of software development company Link Development, explains how unified communications can help a business become a ‘Company 2.0’.
When Computershare expanded its financial services operations via acquisitions in North America and Europe, the company’s offices in Australia, the UK, Canada and the US were forced to use several inherited communications systems that came along with the organizational mergers.
According to Shaheen Haque, Interactive Intelligence’s regional sales manager for the Middle East, unified communications has become an excuse for vendors to lock customers in to a variety of propriety products.
