Companies that successfully employ new technologies can become more agile and responsive; those that don’t often find themselves struggling just to keep up. Forward-looking companies are adopting blogs, podcasts, & tweets, and other similar technology into the work environment. These tools arising from the popular culture, are intermingling with corporate tools as teams naturally select what works best for them. The result is a powerful convergence of technology, that like the swim suit design Is changing the rules and challenging traditional thinking

Editor's Notes
Several yrs back during the Summer Olympics in Beijing, an astounding 25 world records in swimming were broken. One of the contributing factors to these record-shattering performances was a radical, technology advance, with a reduced-friction racing suit that enabled athletes to shave precious tenths of seconds off of their race times. Advanced fabrics biomimetically designed with a surface that mimics the rough shark denticles reduced drag along key areas of the body. Teams that were able to use the new technology enjoyed a significant advantage over their competitors, and once others realised the competitive edge that those teams had there were additional advantages even before the racers entered the water. This technology had such a profound impact on the sport that the rules have been re-written for 2010 ..... This is also true of many other types of sports with technology forcing the re-writing of century old rules ....

Previous decade about transition of Analog & proprietary digital telephony over to IPT ……. NOT JUST VOIP, BUT IP CONNECTIVITYAlmost all organisations agree that answering ringing phones just isn't enoughBut 80% of those organisations we often find are running traditional telephony operations80% of IT resources / budgets are being spent around just in-going maintenance Internet uses IP as common protocolIn fact IP could be only global tools we have in businessVery little else is global ? Money, language, powerIn the last few years the evolution within the telecommunications market has been IP telephony, initially aimed at infrastructure & operationsmany businesses with traditional PBX commsAlso suffer traditional problemsInefficiencies, long manual processes, difficulty achieving communications basics
