In man areas of our lives, technology has dramatically changed how we do things
Think of how Netfix changes entertainment, how Uber changed taxis, Amazon changed shopping
Yet, most business communications systems have not caught with these changes
Need a different phone system by region or country, and they only support voice
Home and Mobile users are not connected to the system
Leads to inefficiencies and siloed organizations
There is a better way!
