Our September episode began by talking about the best things that came from the summer. In terms of technology, the highlight was how good streaming has become, and how great a showcase the Paris Olympics were for this. We extended this to the workplace, by noting how some vendors have been enhancing their UCaaS with event platforms that provide broadcast-quality communication for large audiences.
These examples support our bigger-picture perspective about the ascendancy of video technology, and how use cases are growing, both in the public and private sector. From there, Jon talked about the recent NCEC Technology Conference for rural utilities in North Carolina, where he returned as a speaker. He reviewed the challenges and opportunities they face for adopting AI, along with highlights from his session on the use of conversational AI in the contact center.
