Vodia sales engineer Eric Altman visited a number of Vodia partners at Enterprise Connect, held in Orlando, FL, from March 25 through March 28. Enterprise Connect, the largest enterprise communication trade show in the USA, brings corporate IT decision makers together with analysts, channel partners, consultants and vendors. This year’s event gave attendees a widescreen view of the newest ideas and trends in IT, including five new conference tracks: AI & Automation, Data & Analytics, Employee Experience and Vertical Industry Focus.
According to Eric, the primary focus at Enterprise Connect was AI and contact centers. He attended a few sessions in which AI capabilities were discussed, topics such as how AI can help distribute a call properly and how an AI agent can handle a call. The takeaway? Not only is AI being deployed to better distribute calls in a call center, in a somewhat similar fashion to skills-based routing, but it can replace live, human agents - it will become hard to tell the difference between AI agents and human agents, especially as the technology continues to improve.
“There are companies that can now provide these agents to take comments from callers and either redistribute the call to the correct ‘person’ or take the call to its successful conclusion,” Eric says, “not unlike what a live, human agent would do.”
Enterprise Connect also featured a number of companies offering collaboration and work from home solutions alongside other components, including Vodia partners QuestBlue, which provides a universal platform for SIP trunking, messaging and voice, and Cyberdata, an IP endpoint company and a provider of SIP paging. Eric also got to visit with another Vodia partner, Cove Central; in November, 2023, Cove announced its Technology Alliance Partner Program (TAPP) with QuestBlue and Vodia, part of its nationwide effort to support Vodia’s industry-leading cloud phone system.
