CIO | 3 STEPS to Maximizing ROI for Microsoft Lync Enterprise VoiceChristiaan Stavorinus
ENTERPRISES ARE STANDING AT A CROSSROADS AND COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO SUCCESS.
In today’s highly competitive, global marketplace. Executives need to make decisions quickly, but information and employees are spread out in many different locations. To operate efficiently, businesses need fast, simple ways to exchange data.
As a result, many enterprises stand at an important crossroad. They have invested large sums in legacy Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) network voice infrastructures that do not easily support modern Unified Communications (UC) solutions, such as the increasingly popular Microsoft Lync.
“About 70% of businesses are now using Lync in some fashion,” states Irwin Lazar, Vice President and Service Director for The Nemertes Research Group, Inc. “Most of these companies use it for instant messaging, web conferencing, and voice/video chat. A small but growing percentage are using it to replace or augment their PBXs.”
In addition to delivering new communication options, Unified Commu- nications delivers other benefits. By leaving behind their legacy PBX and moving ahead to a new Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) network infrastructure, businesses reduce their capital expenditure (CapEx) and lower their ongoing maintenance requirements, which can decrease their operating expenditure (OpEx) by as much as 50%.
The transition from the old to the new works with the right network infrastructure. Enterprises need one that is rock solid. “Today, businesses simply cannot tolerate downtime,” says James Rodd, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Modality Systems, Unified Communications specialists. Businesses must also have a way to integrate their traditional systems with new, modern functions. Finally, they need a solution that offers robust security, so corporate data
is protected as it travels from location to location. To deliver such functionality, enterprises need a Session Border Controller (SBC) that works in conjunction with Lync to enable the delivery of sophisticated voice, data, and video services to enterprise users.

Unified Communications market inIndiais currently undergoing through a phase wherein the market can be characterized with steady growth and a cut-throat competition amongst players operating in the market space. Primarily, the market is boosted by the ongoing proliferation of high speed internet services such as 3G and broadband. Further, the demand to incorporate mobility amongst corporations is also raising the demand for UC based technology so as to facilitate seamless flow of information and data.
The market comprises of multiple segments including voice based communications, conferencing and messaging & calendaring. “Currently, the market is growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 23.5%,”says Mr. Kalyan Banga, Product Manager at Netscribes. An array of factors including rising enterprise mobility, availability of 3G and broadband services, abundance of smart portable devices and the presence of a tech savvy youth population basically propel the market forward. Cloud computing has become a significant part of the UC market wherein players hailing mostly from the small and medium business segment opt for hosted UC services and solutions. This typical behavior is mainly because of the tendency to avoid the upfront capital costs associated with the deployment of UC solutions. “The UC market will see investments pouring in from the SMB space which in turn is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of around 16%” added Kalyan.
Do you want your administration day even easier? Are you aware of the free code snippets, tools and products you could be using in your arsenal? This session will fly through as many of them as we can in sixty minutes. Screenshots, demos and a nice bundled list of where to get them all. Just in case we can't fit them all in!
Examples are Domino server console shortcuts, Sametime buddylist management, LDAP verification, improved search tools within your Notes client and even more. I don't want to give all the hints away here.

Building intelligent APIs - Andy Thurai, IBMPAPIs.io
The birth of a sophisticated Internet of Things has catapulted hybrid data collection, which mixes structured and unstructured data, to new heights. The goal with any analytics software is to find and improve better data sets rather than spending time in identifying, prepping, cleaning, and preparing the data. Not only is predicting and prescribing an action anticipating a future issue desired, but if the action is ignored then a forward thinking automatic adoption should suggest an advanced course correction based on previous action items not acted upon. Predictive analytics algorithms should recalibrate themselves. As the incoming data evolves, so do the algorithms – they must re-fit, re-predict and re-prescribe.
Andy Thurai, Program Director at IBM (API, IoT and Connected Cloud), discusses how the time has come for machines and humans to work together to make each other smarter. The combination of APIs, IoTs, big data, smarter analytics, and cognitive computing is transforming the way we see the future — and more importantly, what we do about it.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

14. Understanding Click to Call/Click to Conference
Sametime Standard in a VoIP installation
• Presence/telephony awareness ONLY. In this scenario, Sametime Standard does NOT function
as a the soft phone*
• Sametime Connect instructs the telephony system to call my registered device (VoIP softphone,
mobile phone, desk phone) and then call the other parties.
• For laptop users, the registered device will either be a telephony UC client on the laptop or a cell
phone
This can result in:
• Multiple UC clients on the desktop
• Additional client if video client is different
• Redundant address books that do not synchronize
• Redundant presence indicators
• Potentially confusion for the end user
• Potential for redundant licensing and maintenance
* This is the key factor for many customers in choosing between
SUT/Sametime SIP and Sametime Standard
14
15. Integrate vs. interoperate
• Telephony or video controls are part of Sametime.
TCSPI = • When possible, find vendors with TCSPI adapters
integration • Find third party firms who have written their TCSPI adapter
Interoperate • Integration only (typically).
= SUT Lite • Many solutions call for SUT Lite with TCSPI
• Challenge with Sametime to date has been lack
PSTN • Review announcements from this week
• iLink provides both Tandberg TCSPI as well as PSTN
integration integration into Sametime Standard.

20. Social Communications Roadmap: A Way to Navigate
Convergence of Content & Communications
20
?
Social Business + Communication Connections and Sametime Are
Tools: “Social Business – Connected” Getting Closer
• Five years ago the focus was on web • Today: two development teams, Two product
conferencing and IM. managers, etc.
• Convergence of communications (Sametime) • Separate purchases, standalone deployments
& content (Connections) • But integration points exist and are becoming
stronger

22. Social Business and Social Communications changes the
internal IT landscape
Knocking • Individual tools don’t work
Down • Video conferencing with a non-integrated audio bridge creates latency
between audio and video, very distracting for viewers
Silos
Be • Wrong turns can lead to multiple:
• clients (chat, presence, telephony, video)
careful of • dial plans
forks in • collaboration platforms
the road • audio channels and audio bridges
Voice &
• Want to own Social Business road map
Video • As we discuss later, make sure you are evaluating the right features
Vendors
22
23. Social Communications Roadmap Best Practices
You’re on a journey: social business and communications is
inevitable and unavoidable.
• Social Communications is a business project to make social networks more
effective – so focus on the people and the business goal.
Strong executive sponsorship
• You're wrestling with gorillas. Breaking down silos engages lots of stakeholders-
every employee, customer, vendor; your voice, video, network, collaboration
teams.
Align executive sponsorship to a compelling vision
• Why are we doing this? What will it look like when we're finished? How (who!) will
we use it? What will we do differently?
Successful journeys start with the End in Mind!
23
24. Social Communications Roadmap Best Practices
Should you trust your telephone or
mobile device vendors Social
Communications roadmap?
• Phone != Social communications
Conference room video units !=
Social Communications
• Video MCUs, video borders and other
infrastructure do need to play a part in
Social Communications evaluations.
That thinking is as logical as
‘I own a Volvo therefore I must
marry a Swede’.
(Not that there’s anything wrong
with Swedes…or Volvos).
24
25. Process to evaluate and deploy a Social Communications
Solution
Use Cases
Architecture Products Implementation
(requirements)
Process is not new, unique or terribly original but you will hear us repeat
it over and over again
May times customers or IBMers will call us because they jumped right to
products and want assistance in comparing features.

26. Building Your Roadmap
Know your
Terrain &
Geography
Know where
you want to go
(vision)
Know where
you are
(assessment)
26
27. Terrain: Pervasive, Continuous, Fluid
BYOD is new reality.
• Extremely rapid discard rates
• Very fast adoption especially with mobility
• Your Success (survival, relevance) demands solutions that anticipate changes
Business will not wait for IT
• IT must embrace the speed of business
• Fail Fast, Succeed Fast
27
28. Vision: Know Where you Want to Go
Improving collaboration will
– Make our sales persons 1% more
effective resulting in $x increase in
revenue
– Reduce process time by x days
resulting in reduced cash to close with
a value of $.
Improving collaboration will
– Support the expansion of our sales
offices.
– Allow us to recruit the best talent
regardless of geography.
– Tie together our US and European
operations under a new management
structure.
28
29. Assessment: Where are you today?
Telephony infrastructure: VoIP or
legacy TDM?
We are an organization that is built
around our ERP system. Majority of
employees are not mobile and mobility
Enterprise applications that would is less critical.
benefit from Social Communications?
CRM, ERP, customer extranet, chat We are an organization organized
on public web site for pre-sales around the sales process. Our
questions. employees are highly mobile and
need their mobile devices to function
as an extension of the desk phones.
These two companies have very
different assessments and different
needs.
Legacy systems will often require
SIP/TDM gateways.

31. Roadmap to Social Business
There are clear “forks in the road” on the journey to Social Communications. Pick
the wrong path and it will take time and money to change
Fork A - Social Business focused
Fork B – Device focused
Fork C – Application focused
Fork D – Let’s describe it when we get there.
Yes you can end up with a Runcible spoon solution; a Runcible spoon is more
commonly known as a spork.
31
32. In this process we are often asked about non-IBM solutions
Microsoft Lync ®
• We go back to: Use cases → Architecture → Products →
and/or Microsoft Implementation
Yammer®, Cisco • We have found Microsoft Outlook customers where Sametime
Jabber™ and Connections are the best solutions. It all depends on use
cases.
or IBM products
• Often when multiple legacy TDM systems are involved, SUT is
Sametime + the best option; or
• Spork: Sametime integrated with telephony vendor’s TCSPI
telephony vs. SUT plus Connections; or
Lite vs. SUT. • No telephony integration until TDM PBX is replaced with SIP
PBX
32
33. Company A Chose Social Business Fork
Healthcare, Microsoft email and productivity tools.
Background
1,500 employees.
Collaborate across geographically separate groups;
Driver
find experts quickly. Organization is fairly flat and lean.
Strong need to align project teams; flat & lean
Assessment
organization; mix of IBM, Oracle, Microsoft.
Full IBM Social Business+Social Communications;
Decision replaced OCS and SharePoint; extending Social
Business outside the firewall.
Use cases and following the analysis made the
Lesson
decision possible.
33
34. Company B Chose Device Fork
Transportation firm. IBM Notes® and IBM
Background Domino® deployed enterprise wide. 3,000
users, large call center operation
External meeting costs, improved collaboration,
Driver telephony UC.
Collaboration without Unified Telephony.
Decision Deployed telephony UC solution understanding
the overlapping tools on the desktop.
The organization focused more on device, less
Lesson on the application.
34
35. Company C Chose Application Fork
Manufacturing. IBM Notes/Domino deployed
Background enterprise wide. Approximately 1,500 users.
Technology refresh of multiple outdated telephony
Driver installations. Spent over a year comparing
telephony/UC/Social Business vendors.
In the end, decided the business need was
Decision application focused, not device focused.
(1) Start with business goals in mind, engage the
business; (2) device based use cases favor Avaya or
Lessons Cisco; (3) application centric use cases favor IBM
Social Communications
35
36. Company D
Chose, actually I’m not sure what the heck they did
Big Box retailer with many locations including
international. Deployed IBM Websphere Portal Server
Background and associated portal products. Tens of thousands of
users. IBM Notes/Domino deployed enterprise wide.
Integrate the stores with each other and corporate.
Driver Critical factor was surfacing UC in their portal as well
as Notes.
Selected vendor whose products a) don’t integrate
Decision with Websphere Portal Server or b) IBM Notes
Some people will believe the line, ‘that feature is in
Lesson the next release’ more then they will their eyes.
36
37. Critical Question: Connections--Standalone or with Sametime?
• Presence in Connection
Today, good • Connection features in ST Business Card
integration • Add chat to community or activity
Announcements • drive even better integration.
• Ability to take artifacts from a Sametime Meeting and save into
I expect this Connections.
week • Extend Sametime Connect integration into Connections
• not only should Sametime and Connections be integrated but why aren’t
The answer is you doing so today.
Personal • is that in the future, a new Social Business product will include additional
viewpoint services including ECM and what we consider UC today.

“Transition from IM to UC to SC not just terminology or marketingshifting the focus from 'reach' to 'relevance‘Reflects evolution and convergence of a) business needs b) technology capabilities and user acceptance/adoptionMajority of our “UC” discussions include video and/or voice along with inserting Sametime into something (Connections, IBM Websphere Portal Server®, Microsoft SharePoint®, public web site for chat support)
Sounds insane but reasonable companies analyzing the wrong features have come to this result.Can you be a Social Business if: You'll need three clients per end point?If the information you need to connect with a person is in three different directories ?If your vendor doesn't have a client for all of your platforms? Video (desktop & mobile) will contribute toward ConvergenceSound and images in separate channels (meeting room, corporate phone, mobile network) are not synchronizedVideo will help drive organizations to consider single channel for voice+videoYou will confront multiple client coexistenceWhen (not if) desktop (and iPad and iPhone and Android) video comes to your organization, you will need to have a coherent answer.Video's technical requirements will contribute toward driving organizations to confront social tool choices
What are you trying to accomplish?Why is this important work?How will you know you are successful?What metrics does your boss’ boss care about?What are business plans?

Background: Healthcare, Microsoft email and productivity tools. 1,500 employees.Driver: Customer had a number of point solutions including partial deployment of Microsoft OCS® and some SharePoint®. Business drive was to allow geographically separate groups to collaborate. Secondary but important need was to find experts quickly. Organization is fairly flat and lean. There is a significant need to keep teams aligned during projects.Decision: Embraced full IBM Social Business+Social Communications; IBM Websphere Portal Server, IBM Content Management, IBM Connections, IBM Sametime, IBM Quickr for J2EE. Replaced OCS and SharePoint. Provided secured Extranet for customers, extending Social Business outside the firewall.Lesson: Many at the customer, both in IT and the business, were skeptical that an IBM solution was best. Repeatedly going back to use cases and following the analysis through finally made the decision possible.
Background: Transpiration firm. IBM Notes® and IBM Domino® deployed enterprise wide. 3,000 users.Driver: Customer wanted to shift costs from external hosted meetings and wanted to add presence and chat. Was evaluating telephony UC for the enterprise because they felt that that UC was a step needed.Decision: Acquired Sametime Standard, Sametime Extranet and Sametime Unified Telephony to have Social Business. Decision on all products was made by the CIO and the collaboration team without input from telephony manager or engineers.Lesson: Sametime Standard deployment and functionality adopted and used by the organization. During planning for SUT implementation the customer began to truly evaluate IBM and the telephony solution. Eventually the organization concluded they were more device focused then application; deployed telephony UC solution understanding the overlapping tools on the desktop.
