The DTX 360 channel showcases the technologies that enable digital transformation and unified communications, with a focus on those your business needs right now. 

Covering everything from cyber security and AI to the contact centre and the future of the office, this content will provide answers to the burning questions your organisation has as you start to shape your 2021 strategy and prepare for the new future of work.

Recent conversation in the media reignited the push to return to the office, with some political figures believing that workers must go back to their desks if they want to get on in their careers. But the world that once was is now long gone. Businesses know that they are capable of thriving wherever employees are working from, and employees don’t need to be in the office to get ahead. 
 
It was technology that allowed us to work remotely and remain connected to one another during the biggest workplace experiment in history. And it will be technology that helps companies and their workers in a hybrid world. But how do you get the most out of such technologies? How will organisations use tech to ensure equality of experience between employees in the office and employees at home?
 
Join RingCentral for this 30 minute fireside chat with Jonathan Freedman, Chief Information Security & Technology Officer at law firm Howard Kennedy. The session will cover how the collaboration tools we use today can open up possibilities for organisations in the future.

Why collaboration tools must be at the centre of your hybrid work plan

In this 30 minute DTX Talk you will learn about the vital role of data during the pandemic across the NHS, from vaccines, to testing and clinical care. This is a case study on how a crisis allowed for a rapid transformation to a data led organisation. These lessons can be applied to your organisation and you’ll hear from these leaders on how to future proof your data analytics strategy, allowing you to predict and prepare for future shocks, while ensuring your organisation remains agile. 
 
Organisations are only now realising the critical importance of data and beginning to make long term investments, but what should your data analytics strategy be over the next 5 years? Where should you invest? Join Ming Tang and Ian Conduit in this session to tackle these topics and more.

•	How did the rapid use of data create actionable insights during the pandemic?
•	How can you ensure data sharing is interoperable between teams and departments?
•	How can you best future proof your data analytics strategy?

Effectively using data for rapid business transformation

After waves of disruption, companies need to be able to move quickly and smartly to take advantage of market changes. This has led to greater pressure than ever on IT teams to deliver reliable solutions while battling increasing complexity. 

For companies driven to be digital, the success of transformation now hinges on IT Operations Management. If IT teams want to move operations forward and improve efficiency, they need to know where to begin.
