Simon Parker, global head of IT at Hibu, will explore how simplifying technology can drive down the cost of IT and increase user engagement. Mike Tonkiss, head of IT at Neopost, will focus on how to embed ICT into your company’s strategic plan and improve value whilst reducing costs. Renna McDonagh, senior audio visual analyst, Foster + Partners, will show how cloud video conferencing has helped the global architecture practice facilitate the widespread usage of business quality video without the costs associated with traditional infrastructure investment.

In addition to end user presentations, key players from the video conferencing industry will enlighten and inform customers and the channel on market innovations and applications. Confirmed speakers include:

The inaugural Business Breakthrough Event aims to bring together vendors, resellers, analysts and end users to discuss and explore the impact of unified communications and collaboration tools on today’s enterprise. Concluding with a vendor roundtable, the event promises to provide a forum in which visitors can get to grips with all of the options and opportunities available, whatever their industry or knowledge base.

In addition to a strong conference and speaker line-up, the 2014 Business Breakthrough Event, will also feature hands-on exposure to the latest solutions in the areas of video conferencing and unified communications, with an exhibition hall giving attendees the opportunity to meet and speak directly with some of the world’s leading technology suppliers and industry experts.
