"We are pleased to join together with CMP Media and TIA to put on this new event," stated VoIP pioneer Jeff Pulver, the founder of the industry standard Voice on the Net (VON) events, known throughout the Communications industries as the 'voice' of IP Communications. "The IP-4-IT tradeshow will be unique in its mission, which is to expand the reach of IP Communications into the Enterprise. IP is not just voice, but a new infrastructure that offers truly converged communication and streamlined business processes." "Enterprise IT decision makers are looking for ways to drive competitive advantage using information technology," said Fritz Nelson, VP and group publisher for CMP Media's Network Computing Enterprise Architecture Group. "Today IP is a given as the communications protocol, so the next opportunity exists around the applications that leverage IP. That's where all the exciting innovation is happening. We're thrilled to be part of the launch of an industry event, along with our pioneering partners, that is squarely aimed at helping IT executives blaze a new competitive trail." TIA President Matthew J. Flanigan stated, "We believe the time is right for IP-4-IT and with CMP Media and pulver.com, we've got the right team to produce a world-class event. After three years of small increases in enterprise equipment sales, we're now seeing an uptick, driven by upgrades to IP systems. Such a technology shift presents opportunities and challenges, and IP-4-IT will be key to understanding both."
