White
Papers should not be thinly disguised sales literature. The
sell is there, but it is understated - it's implicit. The
main objective is to inform the reader about new developments
in which he/she is interested; these are usually developments
that will impact or might impact on their company's activities.
These papers work well when the business case is not clear
to the reader; thus, white papers perform an educational task.
If the reader is convinced two things happen: one, he/she
feels well disposed towards the company that helped them understand
an important development; and two, they are likely to put
that company at the top of their shopping list when they start
the evaluation process.

Network
Agnostic Communications
Mobiles become fully-featured PBX extensions in a centralized,
managed, corporate cloud. This white paper written for Siemens
focuses on the use of dual mode devices that have both local
and wide area air interfaces. This feature allows the same
device to be used in both fixed and mobile environments,
so there are convenience and cost saving benefits. Solutions
that allow network operators to offer a continuous service
have been developed, but this does not address the real
requirement of business professionals and IT management.
