Forbes has a very interesting Q&A with Kenneth Kannappan, CEO of Plantronics, about the headset maker's role in unified communications and the larger industry. While Plantronics isn't directly involved in the IP communications side of the UC industry, Kannappan said his company has relationships with all the major unified communications vendors, and he offers a very well-reasoned and sober assessment of the potential for the UC market. He discusses strategic reasons for adoption of unified communications, and the questions that Lee Gomes, senior editor for Forbes who conducted the interview, asks Kannappan are ones that all unified communications vendors should be asking themselves in refining their go-to-market strategy.
