UC Trends 2022: Endpoints Round Table
The past two years has seen the world of communications change irrevocably.
Demand for UCaaS tools, collaboration technologies, meeting room solutions and other cloud-based technologies have skyrocketed since the outbreak of the pandemic. But so too has hardware, the backbone of IT and a topic that can sometimes be overlooked when talking about exciting advancements in technology.
It was endpoint devices that helped organizations stay in touch in the early days of social distancing restrictions, and they have continued to remain important pieces of the IT puzzle as employees move to a hybrid working model.

“This provides an opening for mobile operators to offer complementary services that can exploit the benefits of their networks, facilities, and service level capabilities while building their brands for more control over customer relationships and experiences,” he noted.
