Clarus Systems’ VP of Engineering to Speak at 2008 Wall Street Technology Association (WSTA) Unified Communications Seminar in New York

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif (May 20, 2008) – Clarus Systems, Inc., a leading provider of integrated voice service management and testing solutions for IP Communication deployments, upgrades and transformations, today announced that Gurmeet Lamba – Vice President of Engineering for Clarus Systems – will be speaking at the Wall Street Technology Association (WSTA) Unified Communications Seminar in New York City on Wednesday, May 21, 2008.

Mr. Lamba’s session, “Successfully Transitioning to Unified Communications (UC) through Optimized IP Telephony Strategies,” will take place at 10:20 am on May 21. With the recent momentum of UC and the disruptive enabling technology of IP Telephony, an unprecedented convergence has been created between voice engineering and IT departments. Mr. Lamba will discuss how – despite rapid and significant advances within these technologies – many enterprises have not fully embraced the alignment of these two worlds.

“Using real life examples, this session will demonstrate the inroads and potential impact of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) on voice strategies within the financial services community,” explained Mr. Lamba. “The ITIL set of best practices have the capability to create a high-level IT services workflow that bridges voice engineering and IT departments. Attendees of this session will learn the right blend of automated testing, performance management, configuration management, and business intelligence to effectively deploy and manage IP Telephony strategies for UC success.”

The WSTA Unified Communications Seminar provides a forum to meet the unique informational needs of IT and networking professionals in the financial community. Founded in 1967, the WSTA is a not-for-profit educational organization that focuses on technologies, operational approaches, and business issues for the global financial community.
