Theater topics include: <\/span><\/p>\n

Empowering the Modern Workforce<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaker: Jim Payne, Sr. Product Marketing Manager<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern workforces are global, distributed, mobile, and absolutely inundated with different tools and legacy systems that don\u2019t meet their needs on a fundamental level. Users need a solution that fosters effective collaboration<\/a> with teams, partners, and customers\u2014available on all devices.<\/span> IT needs a single, integrated, customizable solution that is always available and easy to manage. RingCentral is built to empower both IT and the users they support.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Collaborative Contact Center<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaker: John Finch, AVP Product Marketing, Contact Center<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern contact centers are under increasing pressure and demand to deliver quality customer service and be an essential part of a quality customer experience. Legacy call center systems don\u2019t adequately enable agents and supervisors to effectively and efficiently create a best-in-class customer experience. RingCentral Contact Center is built with omnichannel customer service<\/a> functionality, with collaboration at the center, truly empowering modern contact centers to deliver on the demands made of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Collaborative Meeting Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaker: Paul Comaroto, Product Marketing Manager<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual meetings<\/a> can be an effective means of collaborating with distributed teams. Today\u2019s meeting experience doesn\u2019t allow flexibility in communication streams and falls flat when it comes to true team collaboration. RingCentral Meetings offers multiple experiences in a single tool, helping modern employees collaborate more effectively, moving seamlessly from video to web to team chat and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing the Best Network for the Enterprise<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaker: Curtis Peterson, SVP Operations<\/span><\/p>\n

Business-critical technology must always be available for the users who need it. IT and Networking leadership must ensure that all providers are equipped to provide the availability that they need from the provider. They are also given a variety of options such as Broadband, Direct Connect, MPLS, or SD-WAN for connecting these providers to their locations, and need to make the choice that will meet their needs with effectiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

See you there.<\/b><\/p>\n

Enterprise Connect 2018 will be an exciting chance to network, mingle with peers, and connect with leaders in the industry. We hope to see you there!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
