“After all these years, even for those who haven't been paying attention, mobility is finally getting interesting!

Craig Mathias’ words, not mine, but I couldn’t agree more. These 113 characters sum up Craig’s final thoughts in his NetworkWorld blog,  Redefining Unified Communications - DiVitas Changes the Game.

Covering DiVitas’ recent launch in which our enterprise social networking software now runs as a web-client on iPhone, Blackberry and Android smartphones, Craig writes,

“I noted a while ago that the future of enterprise communications is in social networking. It's easy to see why this should be: e-mail has become a vast wasteland of spam and other irritations, IM is increasingly in popularity among essentially all classes of enterprise users, and there's a fundamental requirement for file (and many other forms of) sharing within the closed-user-group paradigm. Closing the user base keeps the riff-raff and especially spam and other distractions out, and also enhances integrity and expands the range of possible functions while maintaining security and enhancing ease-of-use and productivity.

And that's where convergence/mobile unified communications pioneer is DiVitas Networks is going with their recent announcement, which also pursues one of my favorite directions (and a natural fit and requirement for social networking of any form regardless) - Web services. There's no software to load here, and instant support of a broad range of key handsets. Client behavior is uniform across handsets, minimizing the training and support load and maximizing flexibility. No new apps need to be developed. And a single LDAP directory can be used for all enterprise communications functions, meaning everything works the same whether at one's desk or out and about. This is a great addition to the overall power of mobility, and builds upon DiVitas' previous convergence and mobile unified communications capabilities.”

I love it when experts like Craig get what we do, but of course he’s not alone. A few other examples of digested analysis of our Mobile Unified Communications (Mobile UC) web-client launch:
