For almost three decades, Enterprise Connect has been bringing IT leaders from around the world together to discuss and explore the issues facing the communications and collaboration market. In March 2018, the event will be returning to Florida, to change the way we look at UC&C for yet another year.
In an area where communication and collaboration decision-makers within the enterprise world continue to face ever-more significant challenges with the Cloud, speech recognition, and AI, it’s crucial for companies who want to stay ahead of the competition to understand the technology that’s available to them, and which solutions they may need to implement. At Enterprise Connect Orlando, you could find just the guidance you need to start your journey into 2018.
Here’s why we think that everyone should attend!
