On the 22nd of July, I participated in IBM’s “UC Jam” as part of UC in Canada’s ongoing discussion regarding the current and future landscape for Unified Communications.

There were six UC experts in an IBM boardroom in Toronto, and one connected via videoconferencing from Ottawa. It was a fascinating few hours and the lively discussions covered subjects from the definition of UC through to selecting a suitable UC vendor/partner and the pitfalls to avoid along the way.

Beyond the inevitable peer pressure *grin* was the added incentive to not look like a complete doofus because the event was being filmed for later publication. The shoot is in post production at the moment, and as I get more information I’ll share it, in the mean time I thought you might like to read the UCinCanada interview that preceded the ‘main event.’ I think you’ll find it enlightening.

The UC Interview [Opening Quote]

“James Burchill is one of Canada’s leading Web experts. He is a true “netizen” – he uses neither a title nor a company name, referring only to his URL and a home page section that describes him as someone who “shows individuals and companies how to profit from the innovative use of Internet technologies, strategic content and social media marketing.”

A special thank you goes out to Michael O’Neil who invited me, and to IBM for being such a gracious host that day. And last, but by no means least, my colleagues who each took turns sharing their valuable insight sand wisdom into the fascinating subject of Unified Communications.
