But that only happens when it’s working properly.

When apps run efficiently, employees are more likely to use them.” That’s one reason 36% more people actually use UC in large companies that use monitoring tools. Join Robin Gareiss, president and founder, Nemertes Research and David Roberts, director of product management, Riverbed, as they explore the different approaches to monitoring UC—network probes vs endpoint telemetry—and why taking a combined approach helps you

Businesses must become agile and provide differentiated service as customer demands and expectations change. Moving beyond simple phone transactions, customers are taking matters into their own hands and turning to their peers, the web and social media to find answers.

It is therefore critical that they deliver personalized communications in the channels that customers prefer. Businesses should use cloud technology to add multichannel tools and support growing demand for chat, social, SMS and video.

Mobile isn’t about devices, it’s about people. Understanding this helps mobile leaders deliver contextual content that creates personalized mobile customer experiences. With a mobile leadership mindset, you can build a platform for increasing engagement and loyalty – and driving better commerce results.

In the past, the production of professional quality corporate videos was delegated to outside agencies. Corporate business units hired marketing firms and video production houses because those outside agencies were the only ones with both the required expertise and the expensive equipment needed to generate high-quality results. Quantum teamed up with the Communications Media Management Association (CMMA) to survey their members—media production managers from leading enterprises—to learn more about the benefits and challenges of creating video in-house. Download the eBook, “The Changing Landscape of Corporate Video Production” to get the following questions answered and more: • Will in-house creative teams continue to ramp up in production? • What video formats are they currently producing and delivering? • How are they archiving their content? • What challenges are in-house teams facing as they generate more content? Today, that is changing. As the cost of video production technology drops, more corporations are recognizing the value of bringing production in-house. According to a recent report by Vidyard, 85% of businesses surveyed now have internal staff and resources producing videos in-house.
