November 30th, 2010 | No Comments

Unified communication tools cut IT costs, help companies consolidate their voice and data networks, and streamline business processes. UC incorporates many different technologies, though, and different companies approach their UC deployments in different ways. For some, instant messaging and presence awareness are the most important elements to incorporate. Others first combine e-mail and voicemail, then integrate mobile devices into the mix. In many real-world examples, UC has reduced costs, improved competitiveness, boosted customer service, and increased flexibility.

Human communication: Gesture politics

People talk a lot, but their hand signals may convey more useful information

IT IS received wisdom that humanity owes a lot of its evolutionary success to its remarkable ability to communicate. So much so, in fact, that few have bothered to test this hypothesis in any systematic way. Now, a group of researchers led by Andrew King, of the Royal Veterinary College in Britain, has tried to plug this gaping hole. Their first results have just been published in Biology Letters.

Hunter-gatherers’ practice of scouring their surroundings for edible plants is responsible for half of the name anthropologists have bestowed on them. And for good reason. With hunting likely to have been an intermittent diversion, effective foraging would have been crucial to tiding early humans over to the next woolly mammoth. So Dr King and his colleagues conducted a study to see how, if at all, communication enhances foraging prowess. …

Videophones have finally reached the living room

TECHNOLOGICAL prophets have forecast the triumph of video calling ever since 1936, when Germany’s Reichspost launched the first public videophone service. But a flurry of announcements from technology companies suggests that its time may have come at last. On October 6th Cisco unveiled a video-calling system for the living room called “umi telepresence”. The same day Logitech launched a television set-top box that doubles as a videophone. Microsoft’s new Kinect Xbox game console, due in November, offers video conferencing.

The market for professional video gear is also in flux. Skype, a service that allows users to make calls from their personal computers (PCs), is moving into corporate territory by offering video conferencing, among other bells and whistles. PCs from HP will soon come with video software from Vidyo, a start-up. And in April Cisco bought Tandberg, another maker of video gear, for $3.3 billion. …

Communication Design posts full-year net profit of $1 million, reversing losses

August 18th, 2010 | No Comments

Catalist-listed Communication Design International announced today net profit attributable to shareholders of $1 million for the year ended 30 June 2010 (FY2010), reversing a loss of $3.8 million in FY2009, after it wound up a non-performing unit, cut costs and sharpened its business focus.
