Reaching Users On The Go: SMS, MMS and More
Traditionally, Instant Messaging has been structured as a PC-to-PC service. However, with the explosion of computing devices like PDAs, cell phones and Internet appliances, any Instant Messaging infrastructure must support multiple devices that may or not be on a desktop. This session will cover the concepts behind Instant Messaging to multiple devices, explain how SMS and IM services can interact, and show you how you can deploy IM for your deskbound and mobile users.

The Medium Is The Message: Multimedia IM
Text isn't the only data carried by IM technology: increasingly, vendors are evaluating IM services involving music, video and multimedia for a fee. We're already seeing this from some of the public IM networks, such as Yahoo Messenger, while some of the private-label IM firms are offering multimedia IM development tools and implementations. We'll discuss multimedia IM, MMS, and the business opportunities present with multimedia IM.

SIP, Simple and Jabber: Where Should You Turn?
SIP, SIMPLE and Jabber are three efforts to bring interoperability to the instant-messaging world. Jabber and SIMPLE advocates have petitioned the Internet Engineering Task Force to launch working groups, with the final goal being IETF standards. Meanwhile, vendors are supporting these three efforts in different ways (IBM is pushing, leading to confusion in the marketplace.) Where should your organization turn?
