Three fundamental shifts in the UC space will impact buying decisions in 2018.
First is the growing need for an integrated communications platform — the conventional model of buying point solutions for each business need won’t scale.
Second is the ongoing momentum toward cloud. Partners must position hosted UC offerings on the same footing as more familiar premises-based variations.
And finally, in 2018, channel providers will find it more difficult and perilous than ever to compete on price.
Join Channel Partners and technology analyst Jon Arnold to learn about these shifts, emerging technologies that are driving innovation and new ways to deliver business value and help end customers get a better ROI on today’s communications technologies.
In this webinar you will learn:
Why it’s important to move end users away from using standalone communications applications, and instead use an integrated platform like UC.
How the cloud is just one of several technology trends impacting collaboration, and how these trends are reshaping the UC value proposition.
What customers should be looking for from UC in 2018.
