It’s easy to get carried away when looking at the potential of modern communication and collaboration technology today. Resellers have the opportunity to differentiate with endless applications and add-ons. You can implement artificial intelligence and call recording into your stack, or design specific solutions for certain verticals. There are even new offerings available in the world of video and IoT. However, before any reseller rushes off into the application space, it’s important to get the fundamentals right.
In a world where we’ve got a myriad of ways to communicate with each other, it’s absolutely essential to prioritise the foundation of your service offering. If you haven’t got what it takes to offer your clients consistency, reliability, performance, and security on every layer of their communication network, then all the extra applications in the world won’t make a difference.
Building an incredible experience always starts with getting the basics right.

While the technology available in the communications market has changed over the years, driven by things like video conferencing, collaboration applications, and even messaging, one thing has remained the same. Customers have always needed a secure and reliable calling layer.
After all, there’s no business out there today that runs its entire stack through messaging alone (that we know of). Though companies are testing the waters with new avenues of communication, calling still remains to be the core way that people communicate. We like to speak to each other, and audio provides an immersive and personal way to share information instantly.
Just because other tools are available in the communication world now doesn’t mean that voice is dead or dying. When a customer wants to talk about something crucial with a brand, they still pick up a phone. When colleagues need to iron out details with each other on a project, they launch a conference call. Video and messaging are part of the overall experience – but voice is still at the centre.
