Clearway Network Management Solutions today announced that two-time British Open Champion and winner of the USPGA Championship Padraig Harrington will lead an executive-level discussion about “Winning with Unified Communications” in partnership with Clearway, Microsoft, and Polycom. This event for senior-level IT executives and technology press will run concurrently with the week of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which begins

on February 8, 2010.

Voted in 2010 as “Ireland’s best ever Sportsperson” by the Irish public, Mr. Harrington will discuss the power and benefits of Unified Communications. “We are delighted to be joined by Padraig, Microsoft, and Polycom in showing our customers how to solve the challenges of Unified Communications to realize measurable business value,” said Gene Rodgers, President of Clearway. Mr. Harrington will complete the presentation with a discussion about how he won three major golf tournaments and will provide golf tips to attendees.

Many studies point to improved employee productivity and increased IT efficiency through the use of a Microsoft Unified Communications solution. Nationally recognized experts from Clearway, Microsoft, and Polycom will discuss how leading organizations are addressing Unified Communications challenges with Clearway OCS Expert to achieve superior service levels and reduced support costs.

Clearway Chief Technology Officer Raheel Retiwalla will provide a demonstration of how Clearway OCS Expert combined with Microsoft Office Communications Server and Exchange (OCS) delivers a complete solution—including helping CIOs provide transparency to their organizations regarding quality and cost benefits of deploying Unified Communications. With the release of OCS Expert, Clearway delivers the world’s first solution to enable real-time synchronization and aggregation of performance metrics from Microsoft OCS. A built-in rules-based Knowledge Base system with proactive alerts and a Silverlight-based dashboard allows support staff to quickly resolve problems.

This executive event will take place at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa in Monterey, California on February 9, 2010, concurrently with the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Golf Tournament, in which Harrington will participate.
