Podcasts about uc expo

With travel to industry events in full swing during October, we had a lot of ground to cover. Jon recapped both events from earlier in the month – Verint, British Telecom and UC Expo – along with previewing upcoming October events that were to take place after our podcast was recorded, namely Cisco WebexOne and NICE Analyst Summit – which took Jon to Zambia. From Chris's end, he updated us on VON Evolution (now vCon), where Jeff Pulver's community explored the future of voice and conversations, then WorkTech, where the focus was on the return to office side of hybrid work, and how the corporate real estate world is thinking about these things. Things are never dull here on Watch This Space, and this episode will update you on the worlds of AI, customer experience and future of work in more ways than you might imagine.  

@Dave Michel, TalkingPointz, Special for TR “AI is not going to replace people, humans, it's empowering humans,” says Filipe Leitão of RingCentral. “That's our narrative because that's what we see happening.” Dave Michel, of TalkingPointz shares with TR readers, RingCentral's ideas on AI. Recorded at the recent UC EXPO, we learn how RingCentral looks at AI as a critical, and enabling, tool for the contact center and for across the enterprise. “I think in one or two years from now, we're not going to be talking about AI because it's going to be part, an integral part of the product, whatever product we're talking about.” Get more TalkingPointz Learn about RingCentral Learn about CCA

October marks the start of the busy season for technology events, and we provided a preview of what's coming, namely Jeff Pulver's new-and-improved VON event, Verint Engage, British Telecom's Focus analyst event, the UC Expo in London, and NICE's analyst event in Zambia. Ahead of that we introduced changes coming to the podcast, both for updating the format, and two new channels where WTS can be found – TMCnet, and EM360. On the tech news front, we discussed the implications of Amazon's new mandate for full-time back to the office – definitely a Watch This Space topic.  

Before getting to Jon's travelogue of industry events, we reviewed how businesses are still facing challenges getting hybrid work right, and what vendors are doing to make the in-office experience more compelling, especially for meeting spaces. We noted how this theme will be further explored at Jon's Future of Work Expo in February, where many of the leading vendors will be speaking. From there, Jon recounted highlights from his extensive October travels – UC Expo in London, NICE in Peru, Avaya in Dubai, Cisco WebexOne in Anaheim, and SCTC in Raleigh - including a SIPtones gig. Finally, we did a brief mention of Jeff Pulver's VON Evolution event in NYC, where both of us were speaking, and we did a special edition WTS segment specific for the event.

UC Today’s Rob Scott hosts Harry Chapman, Content Director at UC EXPO.

2020 hasn’t been the year that any of us expected, and as such many predictions for the year are now firmly null and void. With more businesses working remotely than ever before, the demand for Unified Communication and Collaboration (UC&C) technology, and the dependence on these tools has increased significantly. What will the future of the UC&C market hold? How will the increased demand for UC&C impact the industry? What have been the biggest changes in the UC&C landscape since the beginning of 2020? Harry Chapman, Global Event and Content Director for UC EXPO, shares his expertise on the changing landscape of UC&C as we begin to emerge from this transition period from office to remote working. In this podcast, Harry discusses the changes that the UC&C industry has gone through, having been warped and altered by the COVID-19 crisis. Harry also discusses the sharp rise in demand for UC tools as a result of COVID-19, and what changes we can expect to see within UC over the next year as it becomes more relied upon by businesses.
