Finding out more about the big picture of IT services at the BT Business Experience.
The first zone you’ll come to in the BT Business Experience is all about the big picture - the large-scale technology trends which are shaping the future of business. So what are the big picture trends? There’s three which seem to be drawing the most attention from the attendees.
The first is cloud computing - the marriage of powerful business applications with alway-on availability online. More and more business systems take advantage of cloud computing, and importantly services like Salesforce.com can be accessed from mobile smartphones too.
Then there’s unified communications (UC). This is something that companies often struggle to understand, perhaps because the technology can often sound complex. But it’s also something that can deliver real benefits to your company, by streamlining the way that your communications work and simplifying business processes. BT Business Experience is a great opportunity to talk to people who can help you understand what it can do for you.
And then, of course, there’s the next generation access services that BT is building on top of its 21st Century Network, such as faster broadband and Ethernet access. Bringing next generation services to as many people as possible is a major investment for BT, but one which is vital not just for the company, but for businesses and individuals around the UK.
Next generation access services offer the potential of keeping British businesses at the forefront of the world economy, and if you want to find out more about how it could change the way you do business, the BT Business Experience is a great opportunity to talk to the experts. As you’ll find, it’s something that BT’s people are genuinely passionate about.
