Just one problem, industry pros say it will be 3-5 years before significant deployments. But Mark Fletcher, Avaya's Public Safety Specialist and 911 guru reveals some great news in this Telecom Junkies podcast with CCMI's George David. In a few weeks, a novel approach that uses Over the Top (OTT) technology will allow enterprise to deploy NG911 sooner than they ever thought possible!

Find out why midsize organizations began to embrace TEM solutions more fully this year, plus understand how mobility, BYOD, and apps are forcing enterprises to control spend in whatever way they can. As for what2019s to come in 2013 for TEM, expect more change and more unexpectedness. A shifting economy, the expansion of managed IT services, and rapid-fire tech changes, promise to keep the TEM marketplace hopping.

Plenty of traditional fixes were available, but the cost and staff to manage the apps were serious obstacles. Then Andrew landed on a unique "bandwidth behavior" approach from Art Reisman at NetEqualizer. End result -- great performance at much lower costs, a real win-win. Get all the details in this latest episode of Telecom Junkies. Bandwidth Battles: A New Approach no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/2152123f-b9f4-3d2b-f756-1bb3d61abf46.mp3 ac574216-3ea2-6308-f9b7-e03aa6661f7b Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:11:48 GMT 00:09:55 Telecom Junkies Telecom procurement and management has grown more complex for SMBs as both wireline and wireless service offerings have exploded. Outsourcing may seem like an out-of-reach solution for many enterprises that think the costs will outweigh the benefits, but don't rush to judgment. In this episode, guest Telecom Junkies, Joanie Wexler, an independent editor in the communications industry, and Gary Storm, President and CEO of vCom Solutions, examine the alternatives available to SMBs for cost-effective ways to manage their telecom inventory and expenses. The SMBs' Telecom Expense Management Conundrum no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/0741462a-6356-129b-99c9-1ad0361ace98.mp3 19440648-f882-b66c-f849-ad2ed644c4d8 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:22:06 GMT 00:14:54 Telecom Junkies QR – quick response – codes, those little square boxes, seem to be everywhere these days. But they have limitations, like the need to install yet another app (or several apps) on your mobile device in order the read the code. Listen in as Aram Kovach, CEO and chief fantasy officer at Mobius International, and George David, CCMI president and Voice Report publisher, talk about an Augmented Reality image-recognition-based service developed by Mobius. It's device and carrier agnostic and replaces kludge-y QR codes with a easy-to-use true-image-based technology. Why Scan a QR Code When You Can Just Text a Picture? no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/1eaabc72-611a-3d19-50e6-ac49faff6803.mp3 a9bcf531-75ff-e248-f055-5dc127b614a6 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:05:05 GMT 00:15:03 Telecom Junkies Mobile data ... BYOD ... cloud computing ... internationalization ... TEM M&A activity ... just a few of the trends that impact enterprise-wide telecom expense management solutions. In this episode of Telecom Junkies, you hear about each, plus a lot more, when Joe Basili, managing director of the Telecom Expense Management Industry Association (TEMIA), walks through 2012's trends with CCMI President and Voice Report publisher George David, and tells you what they mean to your enterprise. 2012 TEM Forecast no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/2ad8dc6d-cf59-1c07-399e-0287c254b33b.mp3 69f5fb2d-925a-29ef-0b12-a164fe285f9f Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:03:45 GMT 00:14:36 Telecom Junkies Believe it or not, but the technology behind the nation's 911 system is 40+ years old! But that's about to change – and quickly. CCMI President & Voice Report Publisher George David talks with 911 guru, Mark Fletcher, product manager of public safety solutions at Avaya, about next generation 911 (NG911), an affordable IP-based framework that delivers a lot more than location information ... like individual medical histories! It's a fascinating development that also offers enterprise users a fast road to world-class 911 performance, but there are a few "gotchas." All About Next-Gen 911 no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/ec3a2209-3238-addc-bab4-81f788d37bd0.mp3 40a0f8c4-656e-b39f-1a9f-ea992fef16ac Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:50:40 GMT 00:09:48 Telecom Junkies The hype about the growing move to BYOD – bring your own device – has many industry pundits predicting the demise of corporate-liable policies for mobile devices. "Not so fast," says Brandon Hampton, managing director at MOBI Wireless Management, in a fast-moving Telecom Junkies podcast discussion with CCMI President and Voice Report Publisher George David. Listen in as Brandon acknowledges the "consumerization" trend, but also explains how savvy companies blend a variety of policies to put in place a workable and cost effective mobile telecom management plan. Corporate-Liable Policies: RIP? no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/f0da0497-59fe-9db4-5ec7-9247ea412508.mp3 ae06ef38-6c5f-307e-608f-727cdc69d2f1 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:34:04 GMT 00:11:26 Telecom Junkies The average lifespan of a mobile device is now a mere 18 months (and getting shorter). That translates to 5 million "retired" devices every year in the U.S. Here's the issue: most of the devices sit in someone’s desk or in a forgotten storage room – or perhaps they're in a dumpster or landfill. And each device carries sensitive corporate data and a laundry list of environmentally hazardous materials. In this latest edition of Telecom Junkies, e-Cycle Founder Tonia Irion and CCMI President and Voice Report Publisher George David take a close look at an end-of-life strategy you can adopt to securely and safely dispose of mobile devices ... and make money along the way.

Security Evangelist & Microsolved CEO Brent Huston in a revealing conversation with George David, president of CCMI and publisher of Voice Report, walks through the behavioral and cultural factors that lead to dangerous – and costly – security breaches and explains why data security must be a strategic imperative for every enterprise.

And whatever title you select, more and more enterprises now have a person charged with the specific responsibility to manage – cradle to grave – the deluge of mobile devices every enterprise faces today. Listen in as John Engles, Principal Product Manager – Mobility Group at Symantec and CCMI President and Voice Report Publisher George David walk through the issues and challenges this position faces and along the way gain valuable insight into Symantec's – long a force at the desktop level – take on solutions to your mobility challenges.

The payoff for enterprises is lower rates for dedicated pipes and maybe even reductions in soaring USF fees. Join veteran FCC watcher Andy Regitsky of Regitsky & Associates and CCMI President George David as they detail the political and economic realities that likely push real budget relief for enterprises out by years. Complexity & politics bog down FCC reforms no http://podcast2005.hipcast.com/deluge/07ceefb8-386f-e71a-4d52-e862cdb0c3e1.mp3 cde5eb5f-87c2-454b-554e-cabad153eb17 Wed, 11 May 2011 14:40:35 GMT 00:12:45 Telecom Junkies Wide spread adoption of recommended E911 standards – despite everyone's "good intentions" – has been an elusive goal. Now, in an industry first, the Michigan PUC has initiated a proceeding that would make penalties for MLTS E911 noncompliance mandatory. Listen in as Mark Fletcher, Avaya's E911 Product Manager, and Voice Report Publisher George David discuss the prospects of the Michigan initiative, and as importantly, the precedent it may set for the rest of the nation.

But enterprise customers still face a number of challenges when dealing with E911.

Capex hungry Clearwire needed to make an 11th hour financial move to sustain its 4G momentum, but the move calls into question whether an increasingly "all wireless" Sprint is still a contender in the enterprise network service marketplace. Listen in as TechCaliber Senior Consultants David Rohde and John Smith work through the issue with CCMI President Georg David in this insightful Telecom Junkies episode. Sprint, Clearwire & 4G ...

That's the thrust of a just-released TeleGeography research report, Global Internet Geography. But if you dig deep there's good news for enterprise users in the research as well.

First, can anyone other than Verizon and AT&T play that game? And second, as 4G drains off most of the dollars, what are the implications for carrier investments (and innovation) in classic enterprise wireline services?
