Sinch offers path to RCS, major opportunities for commerce, improved CX, Apple to roll out RCS support in fall 2024 “RCS means that any messaging experience, whether you have an iPhone or an Android device, will have that richness,” says Robert Gerstmann, Chief Evangelist & Co-Founder of Sinch. “SMS is largely a one-way medium, whereas RCS is a two-way medium,” adds Gerstmann. “The marketing message not only get delivered to the handset, as you will know on SMS, but actually read by the consumer. And then RCS is conversational by nature. It's very easy to enable a two-way conversation. Now, this happens to an extent on SMS, especially in the US, but in many places of the world, for various reasons, technical and commercial, it doesn't really work on SMS.” Sinch recently alerted its clients about Apple's intent to fully embrace RCS. Apple's movement from reluctance to embracing of RCS, is significant in several ways. “That's going to come in September with the new release of iOS 18. something we're very, very excited about. Apple will bring another 1.4 billion people all over the world into the RCS ecosystem,” adds Gerstmann. “Apple demographic is typically the most affluent in each country. So the most valuable customers you can't reach.” “Even though Apple hasn't been explicit about it, at Sinch, we are convinced that Apple will not only support RCS for person-to-person communication between Android and iOS, iOS devices, but also RCS business messaging. Essentially enabling companies to communicate with their consumers all over the globe through RCS. And we believe this is going to be a huge shift in the market, possibly the biggest shift since SMS became kind of the standard way in mobile messaging for how businesses and consumers communicated.” In this podcast we learn about the importance of RCS, and we hear about transformative use cases. Gerstmann lays out Sinch's plan to help ready the path for this tectonic shift. Commerce occurs on the phone and RCS appears to be way that commerce will happen. Sinch is pioneering the way the world communicates. More than 150,000 businesses — including many of the world's largest tech companies rely on Sinch's customer communications cloud to improve customer experience through mobile messaging, voice, and email. Robert Gerstmann is the Chief Evangelist and Co-Founder of Sinch. Gerstmann defines himself as brand ambassador for Sinch, driving the business growth strategy by providing input and direction to product and technology roadmaps. He has deep experience with the needs of the enterprise.

Many organizations, and especially associations, are challenged by legislation and policies that are counter to the values of their members, such as "bathroom bills" and statewide measures outlawing abortion. The firm opposition to these laws leads some to consider cancelling their meetings in the destinations in which the laws were passed. But cancelling or moving meetings can lead to legal and financial exposure and also impact those in the destination that rely on meetings and conventions to make a living, such as hotel, restaurant and transportation workers, among many others. To provide an alternative to cancellation, or attendees deciding to not participate in a meeting or convention, meetings industry veterans Beth Surmont and Elena Gerstmann created SocialOffset, which allows attendees and organizations to donate to charities that counter the legislation and policies in question. Meetings Today's Tyler Davidson recently talked with Surmont and Gerstmann to discover what SocialOffset, now in its pilot phase, brings to the conversation about destination boycotts, especially in the association segment.

Gehen wir bald mit Avataren in einer digitalen Welt shoppen? Wie weit sind Technologie und Unternehmenspläne von dem entfernt, was Facebook ein "Metaversum" nennt? Wo werden wir noch unsere persönlichen Herausforderungen finden, wenn alles überall vom Computer aus über die Virtual Reality erlebt werden kann? Und bis wohin sind wir bereit, mit solchen Veränderungen zu gehen? In der Fortsetzung von #21 sprechen Jochen Prinz und sein Podcast-Gast Alexander Gerstmann unter anderem über Zukunftsszenarien und Potenziale, die der digitale Fortschritt und die Gamification mit sich bringen. Wer Folge #21 noch nicht gehört hat, sollte das vorher unbedingt nachholen.
Sterne sammeln oder bunte Lichter freischalten - all sowas triggert unser Belohnungszentrum und weckt unseren Ehrgeiz. Gamification macht sich genau das in vielen Bereichen unseres Alltags bereits zu nutzen - doch wo fängt es an und wo hört es auf? Welche Chancen bringt die Spielifizierung und welche Risiken stecken vielleicht auch hinter der gezielten Nutzung des Spieltriebs? Darüber spricht Jochen Prinz mit seinem Gast Alexander Gerstmann, der auch die virtuelle CINTHIA Welt - ein gutes Beispiel für Gamification - in die digitale Realität umgesetzt hat.
In der Coronakrise sprechen Politiker gerne von Gefahren, Mutationen und Impfung. Von den Folgen ihrer Politik für Wirtschaft und Unternehmer reden sie wenig. Der Gastronom Thorsten Gerstmann ist ein gutes Beispiel für die vergessenen Kollateralschäden. Er hatte sein Hotel im Januar 2020 eröffnet. Jetzt ist er insolvent und sitzt wegen Lockdowns und Maßnahmen auf einer sechsstelligen Summe Schulden. Er glaubt, dass die große Pleitewelle erst noch kommt… Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr meine unabhängige journalistische Arbeit unterstützen würdet, damit ich auch in Zukunft weitermachen kann. Vielen Dank! Ich möchte mich auch ganz herzlich bei allen bedanken, die mich bereits unterstützen.
