Companies are undergoing a cultural change of greater versatility and adapting to support an agile workforce. Large organisations need enhanced mobility to support ongoing innovation while delivering necessary cost efficiencies. The constant evolution of enterprise communications, including social networking, cloud-based models and the proliferation of mobile devices, is leading companies to realise the benefits of integrated platforms that allow collaborative working, such as UC solutions.
Through a strong customer focused approach and strategic relationships with alliance partners including Verizon, BT and T-Systems, Siemens Enterprise Communications is further extending its customer reach.
Trevor Connell, Senior Vice President, Sales, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Siemens Enterprise Communications comments that: “Enterprises are under greater pressure to support an agile workforce and require greater collaboration and communication. We are dedicated to supporting companies increase productivity and adapt to the changing requirements of its workforce.”
