3. “We continue to see the consumerization of IT
and more and more people are leveraging
mobile devices to do their work every
day…So the demands on the network are
huge…now the cost of actually supporting
and maintaining those devices is also
growing.”

4. “I've often reminded IT managers that it’s
really not about the cost of the network, it’s
about the return on investment from that
network…If we can improve the productivity
of the people using those networks…we will
all be better off in the long run. ”

5. “I want to be able to do everything that I used
to be able to do tethered to a cable over Wi-
Fi…And it’s not only voice over Wi-Fi, it’s also
collaboration technology sharing,
collaborating on documents and video
conferencing.”

6. “Network managers need to be thinking in
terms of how to keep mission critical
applications, voice data, and video available
on an anytime, anywhere basis to a wide
diversity of users who have a similarly wide
diversity of devices and applications that are
at their disposal. ”

7. “The first step is looking at wired and wireless
networks as a unified element. And then
getting the end-to-end visibility across carrier
networks is important, a bit less developed of
course than local management.”

8. “We're not going to use networks if they don’t
have the integrity necessary to provision the
services that we need to be productive,
collaborative and successful. So there are a
number of really good challenges still sitting
in front of us. The good news is that we do
have the basics in place.”
