Steps to Manage a Highly Distributed and Collaborative Enterprise in 2023

The experimentation stages of hybrid work will continue well into 2023.

Many enterprises are working their way through what constitutes the workplace styles, hours and ways of running engagements and meetings for all scenarios.

Microsoft Teams and Real Time Visibility - You can’t fix what you can’t see

Join Jason Andrews, IR head of platform product, and David Badet, IR Growth Marketing Manager for a talk about Microsoft teams and Real Time Visibility for collaboration tools.

Jason will help you understand how the visibility into service/component quality is highly critical because they are more likely to fail than the collaboration platform itself.

He'll also show you why one single tool to gain visibility of each ecosystem component saves time and makes it easier to identify and resolve problems.

While using multiple collaboration tools, there are shared components amongst the platforms that impact one or all platforms e.g. network.

Discover why an end-to-end ecosystem view is critical in understanding how each component relates to, and impacts each other (upstream and downstream impact).

Microsoft Teams and Real Time Visibility

Unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) is in the forefront of enabling change in financial services. Whether it is in distributed delivery of financial services, the rise of new channels and modes of
engagement, agile operations, or meeting new regulatory guidelines, digital transformation succeeds with UC&C. Financial services firms
with better visibility and control over their UC&C environment become masters of change and transformation.

Together with IDC, leading analyst firm globally, join us in this engaging webcast where IR's Kevin Ryder (CPO/CMO) and IDC's Michael Araneta (Head of Financial Insights) shares latest insights going in 20201 and how organizations can pursue communications
and collaboration goals with confidence.
