According to the CEO of NextPlane, Farzin Shahidi, interoperability and federation are crucial tools for today's companies. As larger brands like Cisco continue to grow their collaboration offerings like Webex Teams, IT faces a growing challenge to keep teams and users connected across all platforms. Whether it's during a migration from one platform to another or managing a mixed-platform space, interoperability is essential. NextPlane offers tiered universal interoperability and federation service levels for Webex Teams, depending on individual company needs.
