Podcasts about cloud comms summit

Is the industry voice in step with what customers actually want? That is the question posed by Iain Sinnott, Head of International Carrier Sales at Enreach for Service Providers. In this podcast, Iain reflects on observations from recent industry events — such as Barcelona's Mobile World Congress and London's Cloud Comms Summit — as well as conversations with service providers. Topics covered in this podcast include the current industry's focus on ‘mobile-first' and how, for the Nordics, that is a history lesson: ground already well-trodden. Iain also talks about the increasing divergence of what corporations and SMEs want, and how the industry needs to react. Finally, Iain explains how Enreach is working with SMEs, including its emphasis on white label options and service providers retaining the customer relationship and visibility.

Accent has updated its Accent Meeting app with something everyone who has fumbled around to figure out which platform is being used at a meeting beginning in a minute or less, will appreciate: the app launches you into the platform called for by the scheduled meeting, whether its Accent or someone else's solution. In this podcast, recorded live from last week's Cloud Comms Summit, Accent's President and CEO, Chris Cameron tells us about his customer centric approach to deliver cloud communications solutions. Cameron walks us through his solution, which includes popular video and text options. Fully integrated with Teams, Accent lets customers choose how they want to communicate. Cameron points out that while Teams offers excellent features, customer service can be easier with a company where you're going to reach a person very quickly. “Who do you want to call if you have a problem with your phone service? Do you want to call Microsoft, or do you want to call someone like Accent?” Large enough to deliver on customer needs, but sized right to deliver fast customer service, Cameron walks us through Accent's offerings.

“It was really an opportunity to bring an opportunity to bring the industry together,” says Matt Townend, Executive Director, Cavell. Now in its seventh year, this week's Cloud Comms Summit, US, took notice of a world changed by pandemic, political, economic, and technological upheavals. We are seeing really what I think is a strategy reset,” adds Townend. In this podcast we learn how the era of the orders connected to the move to hybrid work brought about by the pandemic is being replaced by a new era of service providers taking a fresh approach to the market, to selling and integrating technology. We hear about Cavell research that seems to argue for integration, portfolio diversity and much more. “You just have to open your mind more,” declares Townend. Visit https://cavellgroup.com/
