Marty Parker is a leading industry consultant in Unified Communications. Marty and his UniComm Consulting teammates are committed to advancement of Unified Communications (UC) to produce new benefits and efficiencies in enterprise communications and to stimulate and justify innovation in the business communications industry.
Marty sees Unified Communications as transforming the highly manual, unmeasured, and relatively unpredictable world of telephony-based-voice and e-mail communications into a software-assisted, coordinated, simplified, and predictable process that will deliver high-value benefits to customers, to employees, and to the relevant enterprises. With even moderate attention to implementation and change management, UC can deliver the cost-saving and process-accelerating changes that achieve real, compelling, hard-dollar ROI.
Marty is co-founder of UniComm Consulting, the industry’s premier independent consulting firm providing UC strategy, planning and implementation support for large enterprises in all industry segments. He is a member of the Society of Telecommunications Consultants, the north American association of vendor-independent consultants.
Marty is also co-founder of UCStrategies.com, the industry’s leading forum for UC information and dialog. Marty created the workshop, “Planning and Implementing Unified Communications”, which has been offered though BCR Training since 2006 and is now available through Telecom + UC Training. Marty is a leader in providing Unified Communications sessions at both VoiceCon (leading voice communications trade shows) and InterOp (leading IT and software applications trade shows) in the spring and fall of each year.
Marty’s background provides an excellent foundation for his work in Unified Communications, as he has held positions in sales, marketing, strategic planning, financial and general management for IBM in the computing community; for a leading north American communications VAR (dealing with Siemens, Toshiba, Mitel, Nortel, and other PBX product lines); for two venture-funded voice mail and unified messaging startups as CEO and founder; and with ATT/Lucent/Avaya for unified messaging, conferencing/collaboration, and the earliest versions of unified communications.
