Although it's almost always cost savings that ends up in the leading role, sometimes it's a supporting player that steals the show.

That was the case for Paul Seibert, who heads network operations for Snelling (the staffing people) and Intrepid USA Healthcare. Even though executives almost always look first at what implementing Unified Communications might save the company, that's not a concern for Seibert.

He says if he didn't save a dime by using Sprint Complete Collaboration, the hosted UC solution, it wouldn't matter to him. For his environment, with a small staff supporting a couple of fair-sized companies, what matters most are the flexibility, scalability, and management capabilities that hosted UC brings.

Seibert, who has some strong opinions on the subject, will talk about his use of hosted UC in a May 10 Sprint-sponsored Frost & Sullivan webinar led by analyst Michael Suby. You can find out more about the webinar here.

The hour-long webinar, at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, will address the overall question of what form UC should take in an enterprise, and what functions are most critical. It will look at what a hosted UC solution brings to the table, how collaboration software can support a mobile workforce, and the value of an all-IP network in terms of security and reliability to guarantee seamless collaboration

The enterprise objective: Reduce overall total cost of ownership of a UC solution, with predictable operating expenses.

Joining Paul Seibert and Michael Suby in the webinar will be Sprint's own Craig Safir. Why wait? Register now!
