RIM Exec on Why BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (MVS) Is the Future of Enterprise Unified Communications
Sick of sticking around the office waiting for that last important call? RIM's director of software product management says its Mobile Voice System (MVS) can seamlessly merge your desktop and BlackBerry to eliminate such headaches, help manage your "cellular identity," and much more.
The Future is Bright
Once issues with PBX compatibility and corporate systems integration are ironed out, the BlackBerry Mobile Voice system will become much more than just a way to link desk and mobile phones, Heit says.
For instance, he says users will eventually be able to send a meeting invite through a calendar application, using the BES free/busy lookup function to check availability, and a then communicate with both PBX and a conferencing service to schedule the time and confirm participants. The system will then be able to initiate the meeting at the appropriate time and all participants will receive phone calls and be automatically connected to the conferencing system.
"We're just at the start," Heit says. "Five years from now, this is going to be fantastic."
