Five Things We Can Learn From Millennials About Collaboration

That's the title of my August post for UCStrategies, and if you want to know what the intersection of what collaboration and Millennials looks like, this is a good starting point.

As you may know, I'm a UC Expert with UCS, and it's a great collective of expertise aligned with this space. There are lots of strong voices in our group, and if you don't follow us regularly, I hope this gets you going! My post can be found here, and after that, I urge you poke around and see what else is on tap at UCS.

VoIP's Hidden Value for SMBs - Webinar Reminder, Aug. 26

Been away for the better part of two weeks, and it's time to get back to work! Glad to see lots of registrations for my webinar next week with Ziff Davis B2B. Just wanted to do another reminder if it's not yet on your calendar.

The webinar is at 2pm ET next Tuesday - August 26 - and I hope you can join us. Here's the landing page with the abstract and registration form - it just takes a minute.

Webinar Reminder - VoIP's Hidden Value - August 26

Am in between vacation road trips, so not much blogging right now. Just wanted to keep or get this on your radar before heading out tomorrow.

My next webinar with Ziff Davis B2B is Tuesday, August 26 at 2pm ET. My topic is "VoIP's Hidden Value", and to find out what I mean, you'll have to join us then. Along with my regular writing for ZD, these webinars are always well attended, and I hope you can make it.

Not much else to say other than here's the webinar landing page, and you're just a few short clicks away from being registered.

Is UC Succeeding or Failing?

Now, that's a good topic for discussion, and we did just that on last week's UCStrategies podcast.

It's safe to say that UC hasn't been adopted as expected, and there are lots of good reasons why. Along with my fellow UC Experts, I've written about this often, and the core obstacles remain. There certainly are plenty of success stories, but as the cloud spreads across the entire comms landscape, UC faces new challenges, and things aren't getting easier.

This is definitely a glass half full/half empty discussion, and if you're not sure which way the wind is blowing, you'll want to review the podcast. Blair Pleasant did the moderating, and we all had our say, with mine coming at the 32 minute mark. That's all I have to say now, so it's time to give it a listen - it's posted here on the UCS portal, and as always, your comments are most welcome.
