Goodbye London, Hello Bellshill


iOS Update

iOS 5.1 was finally released last night. Get details here. I updated all four of my iOS devices quickly and without any untoward incident. Battery life does seem to have improved somewhat in my iPhone 4s based upon a single morning’s unscientific observation.

The iPad 3 keynote is now live on the Apple homepage.

Avaya

I had a meeting today with Avaya, one of our communications technology partners. Usually a meeting for me involves trains, planes and automobiles as they are generally held in or around London. I live in Glasgow which is a place most tech companies don’t seem to know exists. I had a total door-to-door journey time of 15 minutes from my home to their office in Bellshill.
The meeting was fascinating as we are getting to grips with they typical large enterprise problems relating to platform proliferation. Industrialisation of platforms and processes is the order of the day and this is not an easy task with voice and communication systems. With a mixture of almost every type and age of PBX you could imagine the challenges are immense. Even where there is a single platform the integration options are limited due to the mixed use of SIP and H.323.

I am not sure where this is going to lead but the journey is starting to look interesting.
