With so many different "as a service" abbreviations floating around, its really easy to get lost. UCaaS is probably one of the most seen in the enterprise VoIP sector, but then there are also other terms like CPaaS that add to the confusion.
The basic concept isn't too difficult to grasp: UCaaS is just Unified Communications as a Service. But to truly understand what this means, and why your...
For just about any organization, communication systems are a major life-line and way of conducting business. We need to constantly be in contact, thanks to the ubiquity of conferencing tools. Clients, customers, users, departments, locations, teams all need to be able to reach each other at any time.
But unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world -- and disasters can strike at a moment's ...
When it comes to the specificity of looking for the best business phone service, figuring out exactly what that "right system" even consists of can be tricky. That's we've done the work to simplify things.

We have taken a few close looks at chatbots recently, focusing on what they can do, why we should use them, how they fit in within the realm of contact center software, and even a breakdown of when and how they're being used.

As I had just mentioned in my Enterprise Connect preview, I said we were really curious to keep a close eye on this new marriage of Jive and LogMeIn following the acquisition.

And that question has in fact...
Over the last two weeks, we've taken a close look at two of the most popular emerging Enterprise unified communication solutions -- Microsoft Teams and Webex Teams. We noted that Microsoft Teams in particular is quickly taking the world by storm, and has even started to gain ground on Slack. On the flip side, the Cisco Webex Teams rebranding from Cisco Spark has brought with it both a new coat of ...
With all of this constant buzz around new technology, we can quickly let the hype take control. As I've said a few times in the past, when we're constantly fed promises from the power of new tech, we need to take a step back and truly analyze the reality. This rings particularly true for chatbots, and I have taken quite the stance on them in the past; declaring a new wave of customer service.

Just last week we took a close look at the growing term of "Enterprise Communications," with a hands-on review of Webex Teams. To help further round out this discussion (and to prepare for our Ultimate Showdown head-to-head article: Microsoft Teams vs WebEx Teams), we wanted to offer another close look at what is arguably the largest contender for the Enterprise UC&C gold medal: Microsoft...
