			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/webex.jpg" title="webex.jpg"><img align="left" src="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/webex.thumbnail.jpg" alt="webex.jpg" /></a>Ik heb al vaker geblogd over diverse communicatiemiddelen, of het nou <a href="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/2008/06/12/ucc-tijd-voor-consolidatie/">UCC</a> en <a href="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/2007/09/13/ucc-09-or-use-msn-now/">MSN</a> was, dan wel <a href="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/2007/07/22/msnskype-used-professionally/">Skype</a> of juist <a href="http://www.christiaanlam.nl/2008/09/02/sociale-netwerken-here-to-stay/">sociale netwerken</a>; en ik kan er weer een aan de lijst toevoegen. De afgelopen week heb ik twee maal contact gehad met <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zend.com">ZEND</a> om over gezamelijke dienstverlening te praten. Nou gebeurt dat wel eens via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skype.com">Skype</a> maar met meerdere mensen in een meeting zitten is dan toch vaak minder handig. Vertraging en kwaliteitsverlies spelen een goede meeting dan parten. Afgelopen week heb ik dan kennis gemaakt met <a target="_blank" href="http://www.webex.com">WebEx</a>, die (het beste van?) twee werelden combineert.<span id="more-252"></span></p>
<p>Webex is een online tool waarmee je samen naar iets kunt kijken (bijvoorbeeld een presentatie), kunt chatten en kunt video&#8217;en. Alleen alle gesproken communicatie gaat via de telefoon! Je belt in naar een locaal nummer (of, mooier nog, laat je bellen) en als je dan een headsetje regelt werkt het eigenlijk uitstekend! De verbindingskwaliteit is prima en via de tool zelf kun je nog privé chatten en zo nog wat zaken.</p>
<p>Mijn eerste indruk was: wat een malligheid, waarom niet gewoon ook stem via het web? Maar daarbij gaan dan toch vaak (zeker als je ook video gebruikt) uploadsnelheden en <em>lag</em> een rol spelen; en juist voor een goed gesprek is dat heel hinderlijk! Dat de slide een halve seconde op zich laat wachten of een chatbericht een seconde later opduikt is minder erg denk ik.Alleen de WebEx host hoeft er overigens voor te betalen, de deelnemers kunnen gewoon instappen. Tot nu toe vind ik het een handige tool, met name omdat andere tools (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/capabilities/collaboration/overview.mspx">Microsoft</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/sametime/">IBM</a>) erg afhankelijk zijn van hard- en software, firewalls, en meer van dat soort beperkingen. En dat terwijl ik nou juist laagdrempelige methoden wil hebben om ook met mensen buiten de muren van mijn bedrijf te kunnen webconferencen!</p>
<p>Update 23.3: Naar aanleiding van de opmerking van Peter ga ik binnenkort eens aan de slag met Livemeeting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new buzz in management-land is <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/uc/default.mspx">Unified Communications</a>, by Microsoft. It promises to deliver <em>A Lot</em> © for <em>Very Little</em> ®. Waiting for the IT department to buy, test, implement, usertest and actually use the required servers, mobile devices, software, hardware and new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_operating_procedure#Military">SOP&#8217;s</a> could, just might, take some time and money (more about what&#8217;s needed <a href="http://cubert-codepoet.blogspot.com/2007/08/making-sense-of-microsoft-collaboration.html">here</a>) . In the meanwhile, just using <a href="http://messenger.live.com">MSN</a> (or <a href="http://www.skype.com">Skype</a> for that matter) delivers at least half the promised functionality at&#8230; well, zero costs. I use it daily to communicate with secretaries, personnell, co-workers, managers and whomever else is &#8216;live&#8217; at a certain time.</p>
<p>There are a few great advantages to using MSN/Skype over, for example, regular e-mail. One is that it is less formal and you know that the recepient has at least received the message (not to mention the ability to send/receive messages even when offline). Also, it is less intrusive then using a phonecall. Further, if used well, people can tell you if they&#8217;re busy, out to lunch and whatnot. And, an underused functionality of MSN/Skype, you can add a line about what&#8217;s on your mind at that time which is, in the consultancy business (where you meet face-to-face once a month or less) a great way of telling how you&#8217;re feeling to the world (since you&#8217;re usually not in the same room with your long-term colleagues). Not to mention the plugins that start appearing for MSN to do <a href="http://www.postbank.nl/ing/pp/page/product/detail/0,2819,1859_681659301,00.html">online banking</a>, passing money around, buy music, and more.</p>
<p>To improve the enterprise functionality, you&#8217;d additionally need a company plugin/applet where you can immediately see some details about said person (such as function, phonenumber) or even add an <em>Automatic Friendlist</em> where you get connected to people from your own unit/division, pushed from the companies backend systems.</p>
<p>The main differences between Skype and MSN is that Skype has, in my opinion, superior voice-and-video capabilities, whereas MSN has something very handy: webmessenger, so that even in situations where regular MSN/Skype/ICQ/Google Talk/Yahoo Messenger is blocked, you can still get online.</p>
<p>So, to set the right example, you can usually find me on Skype as: christiaan.lam</p>
<p>Go spread the word.</p>
<p>PS: and quoting one of my employees about Unified Communications <em>&#8220;<a href="http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/">Lotus</a> Groupware has been active in this field for years, and Microsoft has a disadvantage in this area, so to pretend UC is something all-new would be passing several companies who have been active in this area for a long time.&#8221;</em> Seems it&#8217;s again Microsofts PR machine working</p>
