Welcome to this special edition of the Open Minds Business Briefing where we bring you exclusive interviews from the Meeting of Open Minds.
Over 150 senior IT decision makers attended the Meeting of Open Minds in London. Graham Walker – Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Enterprise Communications UK & Ireland - hosted the event and opened the day with a presentation discussing "The Open Minds Organisation". In keeping with the 'Open Minds' theme, inspirational business leaders, Sir Gerry Robinson and Sir Peter Gershon spoke of their own experiences in transforming and leading large organisations in both the public and private sectors. Leading Forrester analyst Phil Sayer discussed the market need for open, flexible communication solutions and highlighted how Siemens Enterprise Communications products and services are well positioned to meet this demand.
There is no better endorsement of our capability than our customers and they were a key part of this event with video testimonials from Global Crossing, the BBC, Siemens plc and live participation from Todd Sharp of Engage Inc, a US OpenScape customer.
