Systems Integrators are Best Positioned to Benefit from Unified Communications Growth.
Leading telecommunications research and analysis firms indicate the Future of Unified Communications is in the hands of the System integrators as they will be the ones implementing and consulting on best practises.
Key points around the acceptance of UC in the coming years are:
UC is the killer application that the market has been searching for throughout the past 3-4 years of IP Telephony’s boom ;
The adoption of UC solutions is currently slow. It will be 4-5 years before UC completely penetrates enterprises, as most UC installations today are still pilots;
UC requires a high level of staff training and will challenge the way organisations have been running for the past decade; change usually causes slow transition because of Fear of the unknown
Having conquered the enterprise desktop, Microsoft is poised to be the biggest threat to any current or potential UC player as it is approaching the market in the pursuit of gaining control of hardware to complement its software capabilities.
Rapid growth of SaaS applications will compete head to head with Microsoft product offering. It will deliver fixed cost model with limited infrastructure investment and or change. It will be the easiest solution to deploy with greater simplicity to the enterprise
Both Enterprise Telephony Vendors and Telephony Channels need to be prepared for the coming wave of non-telephony players to the Enterprise Communications Space, such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, and even Salesforce.com. They need to recognise that their competitors are no longer confined to traditional telephony players, and explicit IT companies. The main non-telephony players playing in the Enterprise Communications space today are, Microsoft, Google, Skype, Yahoo.
We will see an onslaught of various UC announcements from all market players. "Unified Communications is a long-term strategy, and the best thing any vendor, channel or customer can do in the short term is be informed on the latest market movements around anything even slightly related to UC.
Systems Integrators ae the Only Channels Capable of Unified Communications Sales Today
They can design, implement and deploy UC properly with large complex infrastructure. existing telephony sales channels must either hire this expertise or partner/acquire a business services partner that will be able to complement their technology and industry expertise. The outlook for SI’s is a very bright one.

Unified communications offers the ability to improve how
organizations interact with key resources such as customers employees
and suppliers. UC enables multiple communication channels to be
coordinated and unified. A properly designed UC architecture will
consolidate and or eliminate servers to lower overall power consumption
and deliver not only a unified integrated solution but better yet an
environmentally friendly solution that will lower the organizations
overall energy footprint at the same time dramatically improve the
overall business process of communication and collaboration. UC adds
value to existing communication processes and infrastructure and True
UC solutions will not require core architecture changes to an
organizations telephony infrastructure. Key technologies include
presence, e-mail, voice mail, unified messaging and instant messaging
(IM), and mobile access to live communications and remote work groups. Another
key capability of UC is that it offers a method to integrate
communication functions directly with business applications;both onsite
applications such as Microsoft Exchange and ERP solutions and Software
as a service in which the key application is hosted such as
salesforce.com and Google Applications. The Gartner Group coined this
capability "communications-enabled business processes." UC
will reduce "human latency" in business processes. It not only
automates process but simplifies user interactions and delivers
anywhere access to core business functions. UC is currently enjoying an
early mainstream adoption phase with organizations all over the world.
Most UC investments are justified in personal-productivity
improvements; other investments are geared toward workgroup
improvements and overall cost savings in a current core business
process.
Organizations must make
their UC decisions by evaluating the emerging options based on current
needs and how these options fit with the business's longer-term
strategies. Because most companies will end up with communication
solutions from multiple vendors, They should invest in technology that
can provide the widest selection of interoperability such as the
Esnatech UC platform ( http://www.esnatech.com/products.htm ) 
April 04 What is Unified Communications? Unified
communications provides a single tool set for real time communications.
Users can see if the person they need to communicate with is available
and then, with a single click, choose to interact with them via IM,
Voice or Video. What does it take to drive all this Unified Communications? With
most vendors that integration of technology brings with it a whole
onslaught of hardware to drive all this technology. Speech server, UM
server, Computer telephony server, Mobility server, etc, etc, etc.
Forget about the physical space and time it takes to manage this
endless landscape of industrial grade of servers but think about the
wasted power consumption to drive it. Not to mention the amount of
industrial racks with fans to ensure they do not blow up. Has anyone sat around thinking about this? one office tower 100 tenants each with
min 5-10 servers in a room driving business applications? Trust me it
adds up. The servers, the ventilation( many cases air conditioners),
etc, etc. But their is a solution! This
to me more then ever creates the value proposition for SaaS solutions (
software as a service). Now we consolidate power consumption in hubs
that have economies of scale leaving the business with simply a phone
system and UC gateway that links the telephony infrastructure to both
the Saas based groupware platform like Google applications as well as
other core business applications such as SFA, & CRM (
Salesforce.com) Investing
In Saas Solutions linked to a single UC gateway driving consolidated UC
applicaitons, allows companies to not make dramatic changes in their
infrastructure but dramatically reduce not only the annual management
and costs of these application platforms but reduce the amount of
wasted power consumption each business uses on a annual basis. To me
this is Talking Green.
Forget about low consumption PC and servers, simply eliminate them and
subscribe to the service on demand. It's just like turning off the
lights when your not in the room!
