Business communications systems have come a long way from the days when your grandfather picked up his office extension and a live operator on the other end efficiently asked, “number, please.”

One thing, however, has not changed on the digital dizzying ride from “Ma Bell” to the Metaverse, and that is that your business communications system still needs a human touch.

The pace of digital transformation sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic shows no signs of slowing and if anything is accelerating as businesses struggle to remain relevant in trying times.

“Now more than ever, businesses around the world recognize the value of IT to their company’s strategy and operations. The pace of digital transformation continues to accelerate, making it even more challenging and complex for IT to operate and modernize at the same time,” writes Dell Digital CIO and Chief Digital Officer Jen Felch for Forbes.

Tech audits have always been important because historically many companies play “catch up” with technology trends, adding hardware, software, and other infrastructure on the fly or in a manner that adds layers of sometimes incohesive elements.

As a result, some of your tech and tech stack over the years can become obsolete, redundant, and/or no longer a productive asset working towards your company’s goals. Even worse, without a firm grasp on your technology and data you work with, your company may be left open to cyberattacks and non-compliance issues.

There is no greater sign that a brand or product has become an indispensable part of culture than when their proper noun name turns into a verb. Don’t believe it? Go ahead and “Google” it … or do an internet search, which is what “to Google” has become synonymous for.

Joining Google, Uber, PhotoShop and other nouns that have slipped into everyday speech as verbs is Zoom, the cloud-based video conferencing application that not only facilitates virtual meetings, calls and chats.

Looking for ways to make your zoom meetings even better? Everybody knows that Zoom meetings aren't going anywhere for the time being. While the vaccine is now in full swing and being administered to as many people as possible throughout the nation, medical and public health officials are still advising everyone to stay at home, stay distanced, and wear their masks. This means that if you've been keeping your work at home and on virtual standby, that's going to be continuing for a bit longer.

COVID-19 has transformed the way that businesses and organizations operate. Instead of traveling and meeting face-to-face, more and more people are using video conferencing and video calling services. If you are looking to host a video conference or video meeting, you may be looking at different services that offer this type of service. However, before you simply select the first one that you see, it is important that you understand that not every service is the same. There are key differences between various platforms and video conferencing services. ATSI is one of the leaders in video conferencing. Here are a few of the elements that set us apart from our competitors. 

The continuing COVID-19 pandemic has turned 2020 into the “Year of Zoom” for many Americans as traditional in-person business and education has been replaced by virtual company meetings and online courses.

Just because we are living in a “Zoom World”, however, does not mean Zoom is the only way to connect as there are some platforms such as GoToConnect that are winning praise for their communication and collaboration features.

Staying on top of the latest trends in office technology can give you a much-needed edge over your competition — and enhance your own productivity and efficiency as well. From an intense focus on interconnectivity and automation to fresh ways to connect with customers, here's what you can expect to see in 2020 and beyond.
