EarlySail Launches Unified Comunications Practice for Asia-Pac
EarlySail is now able to offer our customers and ISV partners services to enable adoption of Unified Communications in their companies and products.
Gartner defines Unified Communications thus:
Unified communications (UC) offer the ability to significantly improve how individuals, groups and companies interact and perform. UC enables multiple communication channels to be coordinated. Key technologies include Internet Protocol (IP)-PBX, voice over IP (VoIP), presence, e-mail, audio and Web conferencing, videoconferencing, voice mail, unified messaging and instant messaging (IM).
Another key capability of UC is that it offers a method to integrate communication functions directly with business applications; Gartner calls this capability “communications-enabled business processes.”
The largest single value of UC is its ability to reduce “human latency” in business processes. Although communication methods (such as voice or IM) can be used individually and separately, organizations should examine how bringing these methods together can increase synergies and efficiencies.
Please contact EarlySail for deployment of Unified Communication products in your enterprise, and acceleration of your business processes that require human response.
Enterprise of the Future
What will the Enterprise of the Future look like? To answer that question, IBM and the Economist Intelligence Unit spoke with more than 1,000 CEO’s from around the world.
These findings — across industries, geographies and organizations of different sizes — paint a similar view of the traits that we believe will be needed for future success.
In its executive summary, the study notes that at its core, the Enterprise of the Future is …
- Hungry for Change
The Enterprise of the Future is capable of changing quickly and successfully. Instead of merely responding to trends, it shapes and leads them. Market and industry shifts are a chance to move ahead of the competition. - Innovative Beyond Customer Imagination
The Enterprise of the Future surpasses the expectations of increasingly demanding customers. Deep collaborative relationships allow it to surprise customers with innovations that make both its customers and its own business more successful. - Globally Integrated
The Enterprise of the Future is integrating to take advantage of today’s global economy. Its business is strategically designed to access the best capabilities, knowledge and assets from wherever they reside in the world and apply them wherever required in the world. - Disruptive By Nature
The Enterprise of the Future radically challenges its business model, disrupting the basis of competition. It shifts the value proposition, overturns traditional delivery approaches and, as soon as opportunities arise, reinvents itself and its entire industry. - Genuine, Not Just Generous
The Enterprise of the Future goes beyond philanthropy and compliance and reflects genuine concern for society in all actions and decisions.
EarlySail can help your organization leverage talent available in the global economy, as well as provide specialized skills needed for the technology differentiation your products and services need to compete.
EarlySail project “Official Honouree” in the prestigious, world-wide 2008 Webby Awards for excellence in websites
EarlySail is proud to announce that a project it delivered for one of its key customers, the REA Group, has been named an “Official Honouree” in the prestigious, world-wide 2008 Webby Awards for excellence in websites
property.com.au, the Australian real estate website where the REA Group (ASX: REA, realestate.com.au Ltd and its subsidiaries) tests innovative new technologies and design, has been named an “Official Honouree” in the prestigious, world-wide 2008 Webby Awards for excellence in websites. It is the only Australian real estate website—and one of the very few Australian websites of any kind—to be given this distinction.
The “Oscars of the Internet” is what The New York Times called the Webbys.
Harvey Weinstein, Jamie Oliver, David Bowie, Arianna Huffington, “father of the internet” Vinton Cerf and others from the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences selected the Award Honourees, and they will select the winners from among the 8,000 entries from 60 countries.
David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards, said:
“property.com.au’s Official Honouree selection is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators at the REA Group.”
Shaun Di Gregorio, General Manager – Asia Pacific of the REA Group said:
“The Webby Awards have honoured our commitment to driving leads to agents and to serving real estate consumers through the use of innovative design and technology. One sign of our dedication to agents is that we put their listings on the award-winning property.com.au at absolutely no charge.
Simon Baker, CEO and Managing Director of the REA Group said:
“We apply the lessons we learn from this beta site to our largest website, realestate.com.au, and to the other 18 sites we operate around the world.”
The real estate website was selected for this distinction from among the more than 8,000 entries. Fewer than 15 percent of all entries were good enough to be named Official Honourees.
property.com.au is still in the running to win the Webby Award itself when final winners are announced on May 6, 2008. The other Official Honourees in the 2008 Webby Awards real estate category are:
One New Change
Piccadilly Lights
Pug - The People’s Choice Awards 2007
World Trade Center
Yahoo! Real Estate
