If you're among the thousands heading to Enterprise Connect in Orlando next week, there will be lots of opportunities to hear Sprint people offer their perspective, on everything from SIP Trunking to mobile Unified Communications.

During the course of the annual conference, five panels – four of them on Monday the 18th – will include Sprint representatives. As you're putting together your must-see Enterprise Connect schedule, here are the sessions that we recommend:

SIP Trunking: Who's Offering What? This 9 a.m. Monday roundtable discussion has a stageful of panelists, including Sprint's own Dimitrios Kioukis, Manager of Converged Solutions Engineering. The focus of this session is how an enterprise can procure the right SIP Trunking services and equipment to make a SIP technology initiative a success.More...

Yes, BYOD is the universally recognized acronym among techies, for Bring Your Own Device to work. But what does that mean? We can all agree that at its simplest, BYOD is the employee initiative of leveraging their own personal devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, for work. After that, it gets fuzzy.

How many times have we made the point that Unified Communications has to be mobile in order to be truly unified? That's a rhetorical question – we don't expect you to know the answer – but let's just say that we've said it a lot.

So you can imagine how heartened we were by a recent survey, reported in a Network World article, that shows a distinct increase in demand by users for mobile UC. This survey of businesspeople in the U.S. and two other countries showed that workers are often frustrated when it comes to their existing communications options. More...

If you ask IT and enterprise security teams what is top-of-mind for them, chances are you’ll hear something related to mobility. 

The good news is that a new year brought forth an increase in budgets for most organizations. Yet the big change is that decision making for mobile is moving outside IT and into the business units. Even so, mobility challenges seem to land in the lap of IT, whether they are related to security, integration issues, compliance, or device management.  Consider these statistics and trends: More...

Kudos to Sprint's own Fared Adeb, Senior VP of Product Development and Operations, who has been named one of eight Rising Stars in Wireless of 2013 by FierceWireless.

That's a pretty elite group, narrowing all these go-getters down to a mere eight individuals. And for Fared to be cited as one of "the risk-takers and the innovators who we believe are worth watching in the new year," as Fierce put it, is quite an honor. More...

As a loyal Seamless Enterprise reader, what could you find more appealing than to be alerted to the latest post here via Twitter?

Yours truly is now taking care of our site’s Tweets, and we encourage you to follow me. I’m at @SeamlessEd, under the pseudonym of Ed (short for editor!) Seamless. More...

CES is invigorating. Some might say overwhelming, but I found the show inspiring. Everyone is showing off their best stuff.  It’s as if the Jetson’s era finally arrived – cars that drive themselves, gesture computing, and larger-than-life 3D display screens.

So what does all of this have to do with CIOs, IT, and enterprises? After all, it is the Consumer Electronics Show. More...

Well hey, it's 2013! The 20th anniversary year of Intel's Pentium chips and the first recorded incident of spamming. We've come a long way since then.

Now that everybody's all eager to get back to business after the holiday interlude, we want to take a second and anticipate what we'll be talking about this year in convergence, networking, and IT. More...

Convergence  is all about communications anywhere and anytime, whether person to person or machine to machine. That would have to include our vehicles, then, wouldn't it?

That's why there was so much interest and enthusiasm about Sprint Velocity, the global, end-to-end solution for auto makers, at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show. Sprint unveiled this solution set at a press conference packed with automotive media and auto industry executives.More...

If people's device choices on the consumer side are affecting enterprise IT departments – and there's not much doubt that they are doing so in a big way – what about the effects of the ways that they use those devices?

I got to thinking about this after reading the Sprint "Mobile Moment of Truth" study, which looked at the role that smartphones play in the shopping and buying patterns of more than 1,100 individuals. Most of the surveyed users are Millennials, either on the younger side (18-26) or older (27-34). These are the people currently shaping the world of enterprise communications, so it's interesting to consider how their consumer preferences might affect the way they do business at the office.
