editor — Sun, 22 May 2011 22:10:09 +0000

Side-by-Side Comparison of the Top 12 Enterprise IP Phone Systems

IP telephony is increasingly replacing traditional PBX technologies at all types and sizes of companies. However, most businesses can’t simply replace all of their incumbent telephony in one fell swoop. Instead, decision makers like you must look carefully at what’s available, what you’ve got and what you need. Once you’ve surveyed the market and identified and prioritized your specific business needs, you’re challenged to craft your best possible “short list” of candidates. And this Comparison Guide, designed for mid-size and large enterprises, is here to help.

This document is a companion to the Focus Phone Systems Market Primer and the Focus Enterprise Phone Systems Buyer’s Guide.

The comprehensive Focus Research compares the full feature set and costs for the top 12 IP phone systems (Focus Research, Q1 2010, 20 pages. Document #VOIP-SYCMPGD).

Whitepaper: Protect Against Evolving Threats

editor — Thu, 05 May 2011 06:13:22 +0000

Today's enterprise anti-spam solutions typically deliver 95% effectiveness. Unfortunately, that’s not good enough. A border-line attack that gets through a 5% gap in defenses could cost your organization millions of dollars in terms of lost business, exposure to privacy threats, and brand loyalty.

Recent attacks show that spammers and scammers are determined to find their way through any gap, however slight, in an enterprise’s defenses. They’re exploiting a variety of tactics — including blended attacks combining email, Web access, and phony Web sites — to infect systems on enterprise networks.

This white paper discusses the ongoing evolution of spam threats and the technology needed to close that remaining 5% gap in defenses. To defeat spam, enterprises need a holistic approach rather than an uncoordinated collection of features and filters. By systematically tying features together through real-time machine learning and analysis, enterprises can increase the effectiveness of their spam defenses to nearly 100%.
