The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
With vendors, William says the rising complexity of
integration between UC applications, networks and business processes
has resulted in significant changes within the vendor and system
integrator (SIs) marketplace, with a noticeable trend amongst CIOs to
select large global SIs and service providers for UC deployments, “as
evidenced by the nomination of Telstra and IBM as the preferred
integrators to work with for a UC deployment in Australia.”
There’s also a tick for Microsoft and Cisco,
with William saying that, while Cisco is the main supplier of telephony
solutions in Australia, both Cisco and Microsoft have achieved strong
mindshare in the Australian UC market.
“Almost 30 percent of CIOs and IT managers rate Microsoft as the vendor
with the most comprehensive UC solution in Australia and close to 70
percent of CIOs state that they currently use Microsoft's email
solutions.”
The report also says that Nokia is rated by CIOs and IT managers as
having the best enterprise mobile strategy in the local market,
followed by RIM, and that Microsoft, Cisco and IBM were rated as the
preferred vendors for a UC deployment in Australia.
