In this informative podcast with Jason Forehand from RedSky, we discuss e911 (Enhanced 911) and how the evolving communications landscape is impacting the ability of businesses to deliver accurate 911 services to their employees.  We dig into the regulatory and legislative arena and what businesses need to know about existing and potential regulations for companies (for example, 18 states already mandate e911) and how municipalities are working to keep their 911 systems current and able to take advantage of modern mobile technology.

We also discuss how mega-trends in business communications like SIP trunking, Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), mobility and remote working are impacting how businesses need to think about e911.  If your business is scaling, you are planning on updating your communications platform or your state is adopting new legislation, this podcast is worth the listen.

Web conferencing was a step up.  Video conferencing, another step.  However, ensuring that meetings are as effective as possible for all participants requires a new paradigm for visual collaboration.  In this podcast interview with Dana Corey, the VP of Global Strategic Partnerships at Prysm, we discuss how a company most well known for their display wall technology, has created a unique software layer to take visual meetings to the next level.

By combining cutting edge, touch screen visual displays for in room meetings with a centralized meeting canvas software that allows all participants - regardless of location - to see, add, annotate and interact with any type of content, visual collaboration creates a new type of meeting workspace.  We review how this type of environment builds upon and integrates with UC platforms, delivers mobility solutions for remote and home workers and keeps track of all meeting details in the cloud so participants can go back and revisit the specifics of each collaborative session. Definitely a must listen.

CafeX just won Best in Show at Enterprise Connect for their just-announced product, Chime. Chime is a product that looks to bring the simplicity of WebRTC to enterprise video, which it does with some pretty fancy technological footwork.  In this interview with Sajeel Hussain the Chief Marketing Officer at CafeX we dig into the challenges inhibiting WebRTC adoption and the many issues keeping enterprise video conferencing from achieving the simplicity and quality that users demand.

We discuss how CafeX is addressing ease-of-use issues, transcoding, reducing network demand and simplifying the complex architecture of video deployments.  If you are interested in making video a centerpiece of the way your organization works, this is a must listen.
