"We believe the next version of Sametime will be the only solution you need for desktop video," Del Pizzo told the crowd. The new video architecture is especially significant. At this session, John Del Pizzo, head of Sametime product management, reminded us of what IBM added to Sametime in 2012 (social network integration, audio and video on iPads, streamlined licensing, integration with third-party video conferencing solutions and Arkadin's audio conferencing service), and what's planned in 2013 (a software MCU SVC video conferencing HD video a Unified Telephony client and multipoint video on mobile devices cloud-based video conferencing revamped user interface). Social Communications Strategy and the IBM Sametime Roadmap. I attended every Sametime session I could in my two and a half days at Connect 2013. Though it's clear that UC and Sametime no longer bask in the marketing department's limelight, it's equally clear that the Sametime product team is pumping considerable effort into enhancing them. But appearances, as they say, can be deceptive. At a product level, IBM UC means Sametime for corporate instant messaging and Sametime Unified Telephony for connecting to enterprise voice systems.Īt first it seemed there would be little in the way of UC content at the event-not surprising given that these days IBM prefers to talk about social this and social that. As an industry analyst tracking the UC space I was naturally looking for an update on where IBM is in UC. I spent a couple days last week at IBM's Connect conference in Orlando.
