If you\u2019re considering cloud adoption for your business, don\u2019t miss this conversation with Graham Calder.<\/span><\/p>\n

A common theme in the digital transformation discussion is that technology isn\u2019t something that\u2019s thrown into a business and immediately makes an improvement. The point of technology is to enable higher productivity and better workflows and to help make a business more competitive. That opportunity is ever more important in today\u2019s economy of tight margins and saturated markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to approach cloud adoption, therefore, as an enabler of change. Businesses that are responsive and willing to change stand to gain more \u2013 or at least lose less \u2013 in fluid markets among evolving opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the points Graham makes in his discussion with UC Today\u2019s Rob Scott at RingCentral\u2019s <\/span>CC Expo: Virtually Together<\/span><\/a> event in April. The virtual expo brought to light the practical applications of cloud communications and contact centre<\/a> and the tangible benefits they can bring to businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n\t
