Technology can empower smarter, more efficient and productive team collaboration. But before jumping into a new product, companies must first look at how employees are collaborating both at work and home. Gartner predicts “by 2020, over 90% of enterprise voice calls in the digital workplace will originate from collaboration applications, up from 30% today.” An MIT study reveals that 36% of workers’ time is spent in inboxes -- which is a deterrent to teamwork. MIT also states that the quality of team communication defines the success of a team.

It’s no secret that the purpose of having people answering phones in a contact center is to help customers purchase your goods and services, and then keep them happy after the sale. However, achieving these goals is difficult for many companies because they rely on contact center technology leftover from an era when the voice phone call was king. Meanwhile, the consumer—and even the B2B customer—has moved to using multiple channels of communications: voice calls, email, online chat, SMS, and social media. In this webinar we will discuss the benefits and opportunities of an integrated and multi-channel cloud contact center for both customer and agent satisfaction.

Communications for business is moving to the cloud for easier tools for teams to meet, collaborate, and get their job done. However, the traditional “build it and they will come” approach to deploying Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) drives less than optimal results because knowledge workers frequently grab a set of tools on their own, creating islands of knowledge and collaborative work.

To respond to this challenge, organizations need integrated tools that help knowledge workers gain the full benefits of cloud solutions that enable teams to connect, communicate and collaborate using their favorite methods and devices, anytime, anywhere. In this webinar, we will discuss:

•The current state of knowledge workers today
•How UC&C is changing, especially by taking advantage of cloud deployment
•Assessing your workforce’s needs, including remote offices, mobility, and collaboration with people outside your organization such as vendors and customers
•Efficiencies gained by standardizing unified communications in the cloud
•Key steps needed to evaluate and plan your transition to cloud based UC&C

The discussion around collaboration is extremely hot. Gartner predicts “by 2020, over 90% of enterprise voice calls in the digital workplace will originate from collaboration applications, up from 30% today.” An MIT study reveals that 36% of workers’ time is spent in inboxes—which is a deterrent to teamwork. MIT also states that the quality of team communication defines the success of a team. In this webinar, learn how technology can empower smarter, more efficient and productive team collaboration.

The value of cloud applications such as Microsoft Office 365 is not just in the ability to simplify usage and management, but in integrating with other often-used cloud business applications, such as communication tools. The ability to manage and track all business communications in one place—calls, texts, faxes and voicemails—and to make and receive calls directly within Office 365, are both productivity advantages that integration can deliver. In this presentation we will discuss the benefits of an integrated Office 365 and business communication system for both IT and the end user.

Zero Motorcycles of Santa Cruz, California is the world’s top producer of electric motorcycles. Achieving a leading position with only 100 employees might seem surprising, until you realize that everyone at Zero is focused on channeling resources into production. “Given the choice between making better motorcycles or investing in phone systems, the vehicles win out,” says Director of Customer Experience Aaron Cheatham.

This isn’t to say that communications aren’t critical to the success of the company. Cheatham says that Zero chose RingCentral’s phone system because it does everything Zero needs—and then some—without breaking the bank.
