NEC invites attendees to the Enterprise Connect 2014 show in Orlando to booth #919 to see the key components of NEC's empowered IT framework and observe powerful demonstrations of a smart enterprise user experience.
Communications is an essential ingredient of the formula, but NEC has taken steps well beyond just communications to change the IT value chain with smart enterprise solutions that empower organizations and create a more responsive and agile business environment.
"Smart enterprises are recognizing a convergence of information and communications technologies, now known as ICT," said Shinya Anraku, senior vice president, NEC Corporation of America. "NEC is empowering the ICT wave with converged technologies to optimize business practices, drive workforce engagement, and create a competitive edge."
NEC's smart enterprise approach aligns with leading research firm Gartner, whose recent key trends for 2014 support a practice of the so-called "Nexus of Forces," including: social, mobile, cloud, and information that continue to drive change and are the catalyst driving demand for smarter enterprise infrastructure.
NEC's framework combines its powerful software-defined networking (SDN) suite, fault tolerant servers, storage, and virtualization software tools with its enterprise-class software applications for unified communications, web collaboration, customer care, virtualized desktops, and industry-specific applications that can operate as virtualized software within the framework. NEC's enterprise-class applications are designed with service orientation in mind, allowing the applications to communicate with one another and enable other business applications to consume these services to create even greater enterprise workflow integration.

Agility, cloud, collaboration, and service assurance are becoming essential ingredients for the smart, secure, and always-on enterprise.
