Good morning! Day 2 is a big day for keynotes at Enterprise Connect! I’m excited to hear from Nicole Herskowitz (Microsoft), Snorre Kjesbu (Cisco), and Mo Katibeh (RingCentral) regarding their direction in the collaboration space.  

With Microsoft and Cisco growing their relationship with the support of Cisco video conferencing devices for Microsoft Teams meetings and the recent certification of Webex Contact Center for use with Microsoft Teams, it should be an exciting couple of keynotes!  

The RingCentral/Avaya relationship is also an interesting topic that I hope to hear more about during the keynote and while attending EC. Avaya had a huge install base. With RingCentral powering Avaya Cloud Office, I’m interested to see if the install base is holding and sticking with this solution or are migrating to a different cloud calling platform.

Lastly – don’t forget about the Enterprise Connect Booth Crawl today from 4–6 pm on the expo floor! Make sure to stop by the Variphy booth (#1144), have a cocktail, and chat about our Call Analytics and Reporting offering for Cisco UCM, Webex Calling, and Zoom Phone!
