Alcatel-Lucent Asia Pacific vice president, enterprise business, Dr Wolfgang Hackenburg said that companies needed the Dynamic Enterprise approach to enhance their communications infrastructure. "Accelerated market change through social networking has resulted in customers using Facebook, YouTube and so forth, which has set expectations on how to better access information," said Dr Hackenburg.

"Mobile users are faced with the serious problem of ensuring information security, when there is more information available today," he said. "Knowledge has to be continually accessible to the right people at the right time."

"Mobility must go hand-in-hand with secure access," said Dr Hackenberg. "Dynamic Enterprise unifies four major strands--people, process, network and knowledge--into an integrated whole."

This would allow people to communicate, perform and innovate productively, he added. "Our open framework is delivered by about 650 products and solutions. For example, we service entire hospital infrastructures in the US."
