Will Cellular Fixed Mobile-Convergence Finally Happen with UC/Collaboration?

UC and team collaboration vendors have struggled to deliver better mechanisms to integrate cellular voice services for frictionless and more functional mobile capability. Now, newer offerings like Microsoft's Operator Connect Mobile, Cisco's WebEx Go, and RingCentral (through its partnership with AT&T Office@Hand Wireless) have changed the prospects for mobile UC and team collaboration as carriers open up their network interfaces to support dual numbers (i.e., business and Personal), no-touch set-up, and enhanced voice capabilities using real cellular connections rather than VoIP over cellular data.

This session will feature a discussion that will help you understand the functionality available today, how the different vendors' solutions compare, and what they intend for the future. You'll understand clearly how close we may be to meaningful integration of UC/team collaboration with native cellular.

UCaaS Migration Case Studies

Fully migrating your UC and telephony platform to UCaaS remains a complex and challenging process, with many pitfalls and hidden "gotchas." From number porting to data residency to the underlying network and so much more, there are numerous elements you must get right. In this session, a panel of your enterprise peers will discuss how they made their UCaaS migrations work--and what needs to be improved. You'll learn how they built their migration strategy, how long it took, what changes and surprises they encountered along the way, and where they went from here. You'll come away with specific details and ideas to help you plan or complete your enterprise's UCaaS migration.

CCaaS Case Studies

Cloud is the wave of the future for contact center systems, promising continual feature enhancements for constantly improving customer experience, as well as business agility for responding quickly to a changing environment and supporting an agent workforce that is likely to remain hybrid if not heavily remote. But getting to the cloud can be challenging: Legacy premises-based systems are highly customized and tightly interwoven into business practices, and some enterprise leaders retain concerns over cost and security. In this session, you'll hear from enterprise leaders who have made or are working through tough decisions when migrating their contact center system to the cloud. They'll share experiences and lessons learned; you'll come away with specific advice and best practices that you can immediately use in your enterprise business.

Building your Communications and Collaboration Strategy for Hybrid Work

Communications & Collaboration technologies are more critical to the employee and customer experiences than ever. Your enterprise's workforce depends on your team delivering a versatile, reliable, and secure communications environment that lets every end user collaborate when, where, and how they need to, offering the best possible experience to both office and remote workers. In addition, customers demand the ability to interact with your enterprise in the way that suits them best at the moment—whether via direct contact with an agent or sophisticated self-service capabilities. And on both the employee and customer side, users expect the system to provide rich functionality that saves them time and puts them in touch with the right resources at the right time.

Plus, you’ve got to provide all of this within the constraints of budgeting in uncertain times and the need to migrate legacy assets to more modern platforms at the pace that fits your requirements.

In this session, co-moderated by a top industry analyst and the program co-chair of Enterprise Connect, you'll hear thought leaders debate the strategic direction the industry is headed, and how this vision aims to meet the challenges your organization and enterprise face. Among the critical questions we'll address:

  • Where are the next big innovations coming from? Is videoconferencing in its current form likely to remain the collaboration baseline for the next several years?
  • What about the current communications/collaboration environment isn’t working as well for users as it could, and how do we improve it?
  • What elements of contact center/customer experience technology will be most critical to get right in order to keep up with the pace of broader digital transformation and customer demand?
  • What risks are embedded in the cloud migration, and how should enterprises mitigate them?
  • How should enterprise organizations maintain flexibility amid continuing change in the workplace and workforce?

The Future of Work: The End-User's Perspective

Everywhere you turn, someone is selling a new product, service, system, process, methodology, or concept designed to change how people work: Hybrid work, Work from home, New Normal, Metaverse, Web3, and dozens of other buzzwords threaten to overwhelm the conversation. But who says we need to change how we work?

During this session, a panel of enterprise leaders will discuss how their companies work, collaborate, and get things done. We'll discuss where they spend their time and how they invest their money. They'll tell us what's working and what's not. And we'll dig deep into how things will change in the next few years.

This session is where the rubber meets the road and is an opportunity to hear how your peers address the most critical issues.

Enterprise Summit: Navigating a Changing Landscape

Enterprise Enterprise communications professionals entered 2023, facing new uncertainties and lingering challenges. IT/communications decision-makers need a strategy for migrating legacy systems while leveraging technology advances to satisfy the demand for constant improvement to the customer and employee experience. And in a time of economic and social uncertainty, this strategy must allow enough flexibility to let IT respond quickly and effectively to changing conditions. So how are leading enterprises meeting this array of challenges?

In this session, a panel of enterprise IT/communications professionals will share their experiences navigating the technology and market landscape. They'll describe their approach to such critical issues as cloud migration, customer experience (CX) requirements, serving the new hybrid workforce, and more. You'll come away with specific insights and illuminating accounts of real-world experiences that will fortify you to make better decisions and solve problems more creatively and effectively.

How Reliable Is Your Cloud Solution?

Five-nines – 99.999% availability – has been the gold standard for network reliability since the days of the telephone monopoly. So how reliable can you expect your UCaaS, CCaaS, or other cloud-based communications system to be—and how reliable do you need it to be?

This session will take a look at service availability and reliability in 2023. What you can expect from different types of services and service providers; how the reliability metrics of the big cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure) impact services provisioned off those clouds; and what you need to do in order to ensure your cloud communications services meet your enterprise's reliability needs. A leading consultant will help you understand SLAs, redundancy, and other factors that combine to create your enterprise’s overall availability picture. You’ll come away with a better understanding of what you need to do (and spend) to get the availability you require.

Takeaways:

  • What level of availability is generally offered in Service Level Agreements for UCaaS, CCaaS, collaborative meeting services, and other communications services that may be critical to your business?
  • How deeply do you need to understand the underlying architecture of your UCaaS, CCaaS, or other communications service before you can be satisfied with the provider's availability claims?
  • How should you provision redundancy into your system? What elements need to be redundant?
  • What is the right way to think about incurring additional cost in exchange for higher availability?

Making Progress on Hybrid Work: The Enterprise View

The return-to-office (RTO) has been sporadic and, at some enterprises, controversial. Meanwhile, remote workers continue to connect, meet, and collaborate with their colleagues—but these arrangements are often less than ideal as well. All of this has made the job of IT/communications professionals incredibly complex and challenging as they aim for a moving target when it comes to supporting RTO and hybrid working. No one has it figured out, but in this session, enterprise IT executives will share their experiences and the lessons they have learned as they’ve made their way through the challenges of hybrid working. They'll describe how workers have used the office, what's made for a good employee experience both in-office and remote, and how they've collaborated with business units and other peer organizations to provide the best experience possible. You'll come away with useful perspectives on the challenges of hybrid work and how to battle them.

The Future of the Platform and Conferencing Provider

The platform providers – Microsoft, Cisco, Zoom, and others – became ubiquitous video meeting providers during the pandemic. These players kept business flowing when we needed them the most. But where do they go next, and what does that mean for you?

In this session, a leading industry analyst and panel of experts will discuss the key issues platform providers must tackle to enable the next generation of conferencing services.

During this session, we'll hit topics like future business and sales models; addressing interoperability; video-enabling new use cases (telehealth, tele-justice, etc.); the role of AI, adding value before and after meetings, and more. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of how the providers are positioning themselves and how this will affect your choices.

You’ll come away with a better understanding of what you need to do (and spend) to get the availability you require.

Takeaways:

  • With features commoditizing so quickly, how will the conferencing providers differentiate their offerings?
  • Where will we see the most useful innovation–Visual collaboration? Webcasting / events? Customer experience? Enterprise video? Other areas?
  • How will providers' services integrate and interoperate with one another? Will partnerships focus on video, or will cross-platform chat and whiteboard become possible?
  • Most providers are more than happy to sell directly to end-user customers. Given this, what is the future role of the AV or IT channel partner in enterprise conferencing and collaboration?
  • How will conferencing providers help enterprises better leverage their collaboration data (transcriptions, recordings, usage trends, poll information, sentiment data, sensor data, meeting notes, agendas, attachments, whiteboard content, etc)?
  • What are the providers' R&D priorities? Where are they investing to add value tomorrow? How will customers benefit from these investments?

CPaaS Case Studies: Making Integration Work – and Pay

Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) capability has gone from a niche service to an integral part of most communications vendors' offerings. Now it's being closely associated with the movement to low code/no code development that has emerged in the wider technology industry. So where is CPaaS and its related technologies making a difference in real-world enterprises? In this session, we'll hear from enterprise leaders about successful CPaaS implementations--what they're using it for, their experiences in adopting and building upon it, and where they see their CPaaS journey headed next. You'll get specific details and reality-based learning that will help you as you plan--or expand--your own use of CPaaS in your communications environment.

UCaaS Plus CCaaS: What are the Use Cases, Where are the Hurdles?

Most cloud communications companies now offer integrated UCaaS and CCaaS services, either as a single-vendor solution or through partnerships. But are enterprises actually leveraging these capabilities? What are the real use cases for these combined services, and are there successful customer examples? In this session, a leading analyst will moderate a panel of subject matter experts to help you understand the state of play—what does the technology enable today and what's possible in the future; what business cases are being made and how compelling are they; and when we might see larger-scale adoption of UCaaS + CCaaS by enterprises. You'll come away with a better understanding of where we are on the hype-vs.-reality scale.

Takeaways:

  • What are the most likely use cases for UCaaS + CCaaS? Is it still built around expanding CX capabilities beyond the agents?
  • How can a UCaaS + CCaaS solution benefit workers outside of the contact center and impact their productivity?
  • What’s the business case for going with a service that integrates UCaaS and CCaaS capabilities?
  • What specific challenges would an enterprise face in deploying an integrated UCaaS + CCaaS service?
  • Best of breed or single vendor – does it matter?
