I know how good eComm Europe will be, having been involved in helping the last two USA based events. But don’t take my word alone for it, as I could be accused of bias. Instead take the word of fellow Telecom Cabal member, James Enck, who from his perch in London has expressed his views … Read more
While I wish I could have been in attendance at VON in Miami Beach this week, I was having fun at DEMO in San Diego. Alec Saunders was there, and has a positive and upbeat report. One of my agency’s clients, Junction Networks, debuted their new and snazzy interface, my.onsip.com, a unified communications, all web … Read more
I love being right when I write. Om’s post last night about Cisco going with Skype for SIP was what I said back when Skype and ShoreTel hooked up. They’ll be more of these announcements as Skype is playing the momentum game and deserves all the accolades they can get. Too much attention is being … Read more
