IDC Innovator in UC&C - How we did it

Written by Anna Byrne – Head of Global Marketing | Nov 30, 2016 3:00:00 PM

The latest IDC report, IDC Innovators named IR's Prognosis solution as an Innovator in unified communications and collaboration management solutions. Prognosis provides business critical insights and ensures continuity-critical systems deliver high availability and performance. Here's what it took IR to get the badge of honor.

UC&C Interoperability

Interoperability is a non-negotiable when it comes to unified communications monitoring. It can be the difference between identifying a fail point immediately and scrambling for answer that may not be correct. It's not enough to simply be multi-vendor compatible. IDC Innovator recognizes IR's enablement of interoperability as a critical innovative feature.

Real-time Visibility, Insight & Control

To have a comprehensive communications experience, monitoring must be real-time. There's nothing innovative about retrospective reporting. Equally having three layers of damage control: the transparency to see what's going on, the insight to pinpoint triggers and being able to stop a problem in its tracks puts IR ahead of the pack.
“Enterprises and Service Providers can deploy IR Prognosis to bring real-time visibility, insight and control to complex, multi-vendor UC and contact centers.” - Rich Costello, Senior Analyst, IDC.

100% Software-based Probeless Design

Many monitoring solutions require probes to analyze unified communication traffic across a network. However, IR's unique probeless design has all the great features of a probe based analysis: full visibility across the entire UC environment, including SBCs, routers, and Wi-Fi access points but without the cost and time constraints. 

UC&C Innovators must have Unique Intellectual Property

Unique IP plays a critical role in driving innovation in any organization. IDC acknowledges leaders who invest in research and development and this recognition is a testament to the tireless, hard work and dedication IR's R&D team make.
