BATH ? The International Avaya Users Group will host a no-nonsense discussion Oct. 19 on Unified Communications.

All vendors will give you their definition of UC and focus on their ?cool? applications ? but no one vendor is best in breed at all elements of these powerful applications. UC can be an effective strategy that leverages multiple parts of your infrastructure.

Join SPS for a ?vendor-agnostic? discussion on UC ? when to use Avaya, when to use Microsoft – and how they work together to give you best in breed integrated solutions.
