Improving Business Performance, Profitability and

business systems, that participate within the context of
service-oriented architecture and that provide a more integrated
and unified business environment. The NEC focus is on the
evolution of new software-based, service-oriented communications
technologies and how they are changing the way businesses can
think about communications in their business.
--
Maximizing Business Processes and Workflows
NEC empowers business processes through tight integration with
innovative applications, such as unified communications,
single-point management, vertical customization and IP-enabled
servers and terminals. Presence status and collaboration
applications provided by NEC UC Suite allow real-time, rapid
workflow business process enablement for knowledge workers.
IP-enabled telephony servers provide the foundation for enhanced
applications that can deliver voice-enabled vertical solutions.
--
Managing Workflow Effectiveness
NEC offers workforce effectiveness and visual communication through
its Wireless Optimized Architecture, location-based services and
dual-mode FMC solutions. With Mobile Client communication can extend
the functionality of your desktop UC application to your mobile
handset or PDA. People and prized assets can now easily be located

Increase Enterprise Performance
NEC's Dynamic IT Infrastructure provides a competitive advantage by
delivering scalability, availability and performance. Critical
applications stay online through highly reliable fault-tolerant
servers and virtualized desktop environments. NEC's centralized
computing environments and grid storage reduce backup time,
eliminates duplicate data and maximizes profitability by reducing
support and maintenance costs.

Empowering Enterprise Accountability
Today's global economy requires business continuity. Secure access
to data is possible with NEC biometrics identification solutions,
while NEC virtualized desktops store data in a closely monitored
data center instead of distributed workstations. Redundancy of
fault-tolerant servers and grid storage enhance storage resiliency
and data management through highly reliable and faster disaster
recovery.
