Vienna, Virginia and Montpellier, France – February 28, 2008 – Genesys, a global multi-media collaboration service leader, will open the Frost & Sullivan Mobile & Wireless Enterprise 2008 conference on Monday, March 3, with a keynote speech by Genesys President Jim Huzell on “Collaboration in a Mobile World.” Technology executives of several hundred leading companies from throughout the U.S. and other parts of the globe are attending the conference which is being held in Indian Wells, California, March 2 – 5.
Huzell will discuss the challenges and opportunities for collaboration, communication and team-building in a dispersed, mobile global business environment. His address is based on his company’s analysis of broad reaching trends as well as Huzell’s own first-hand insight from working with senior management teams of customers from more than half of the Global Fortune 500. His company offers a unique understanding of global enterprise mobility requirements through its fully integrated web and telephony solution – Genesys Meeting Center - that supports all internal and external facing requirements without need of client software. Huzell also offers special perspective gained from his experience as CEO of Comviq, the first independent cellular operator in Europe.
“Global leaders know that competitive advantage is achieved through exceptional teamwork,” said Huzell. “The ability to meet and collaborate virtually from anywhere in the world has been elevated from luxury to mandatory status. From our work with the world’s leading companies, we have built a tremendous knowledge base of virtual collaboration ‘best practices’. I am honored to share highlights of this knowledge with many of the most influential executives addressing enterprise mobility in our world today.”
