• UC (Unified communications)
• NGN (Next generation network)
• SaaS (Software as a service) ubiquitous
• real-time communication

The Next Generation Network (NGN) features QoS (Quality of Service), security and safety. It is a significant innovative improvement for networks that promote enhanced functions and added value in support of enterprise systems. Besides the NGN, Software as a Service (SaaS) is another innovation for the network society. This is a software deployment service generally provided by carriers and Internet service providers. SaaS is expected to significantly change the system architecture of enterprises as the introductions and developments systems having been conventionally carried out by the enterprises themselves.
The diffusion of NGN and SaaS is also backing up the efforts of NEC's Unified Communications (UC) to implement ubiquitous enterprise systems that are able to expand in any type of business field.
