Some 60 percent of enterprise executives polled recently by Network Instruments say they will have implemented unified communications capabilities at their organizations by 2010, while 57 percent say they will have implemented video solutions by 2010.
Some 66 percent of the 442 network engineers, IT directors, and CIOs in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America also report they will have teleconferencing solutions in place by 2010.
VoIP adoption continues to rise, as 75 percent of companies will have installed VoIP by the end of 2009, compared to 61 percent in 2007.
One has to interpret such findings. When enterprise executives are asked whether they will deploy a given technology, it does not mean they will deploy throughout the entire enterprise. Also, plans typically slip a bit; rarely are they accelerated.
That's about the only way to make sense of survey findings that often show a third of respondents plan to do something "within the next 12 months," virtually every time a survey is taken.
