C D H Eliminating the Tourists

• With video the Meeting Tourist is visible• Lack of participation is obvious• Eventually Tourists do not show up• Meetings become structured

– Item times– Variable attendance

• Recording and Replay is Critical

Page 24: Views from the Unified Communications Summit

C D HAnalyzing the Value of Tourist

Reduction

• Value Assumptions– 3 hours out of 9 hours in daily meetings - 34%

of time

– 50% are large group meetings - 17% of the time

– 20% of the attendees are tourists

– 3.4% of total employee time

– Average employee cost is $175K

• $7,000 lost value per employee

C D HUC/Voice and Video Convergence

Drives Installed Base Change• Using Guestimates of installed bases• Determine where the current and future convergence centers lie• Opportunity in helping your customers converge

Over 60% of the Installed Base MAY change either Voice/UC or Video Vendors

Guestimates of NA Installed Base Share‐ 2012 

Page 26: Views from the Unified Communications Summit

C D H Conclusions

• Moving video out of the closet creates great value– Middle video for commitment and resource

management– Meeting video to eliminate “Meeting Tourists”– Can be a cultural change

• Will drive real UC Voice/Video convergence– Will result in less overlay video and more UC

integrated video– Will result in industry consolidation

Page 27: Views from the Unified Communications Summit

C D H What should you do?

• Formulate a convergence/migration strategy

• Define which transitions you are going to leverage

• Consider whether a cloud video/UC offer is an area for your business

• Build value propositions for UC/video convergence for your customers
