NEC Unified Intros Portfolio Managers, Leadership
NEC Unified Solutions Inc. has established a Portfolio Management Team (PMT) under the leadership of Jay Krauser to strengthen and broaden the solutions NEC provides to customers, assist NEC channels with the distribution of these products, and provide a single interface for partners who wish to add their products or capabilities to NEC’s portfolio of offerings.
Krauser, previously general manager for NEC’s Product Management group, will lead the technical design, integration and testing of NEC and third-party products into communications-enabled solutions for key vertical markets including education, health care, hospitality and government. The PMT also will provide proof of concept and interoperability testing for NEC’s UNIVERGE Solution Partner Program.
NEC said its PMT will support the concept of UNIVERGE360 through continuous improvement of critical solution components into customer-relevant solution packages which span unified infrastructure, unified communications and unified business.
In related news, NEC has named Renato Mariani as general manager of marketing. NEC has tasked Mariani, a technology marketing veteran, to lead the alignment of the marketing communications and field marketing teams with the sales organization to accelerate the velocity of UNIVERGE360.
NEC’s UNIVERGE360 concept places people at the center of business communications, identifies the roles people play in an organization, and then unifies the technology and business processes needed to allow employees to be more efficient and effective in those roles.
