No upcoming events are currently scheduled.  However, check back as we will be adding information, such as the upcoming Enterprise Connect (formerly VoiceCon) conference, where Marty and Don will be speaking.
 
 
Workshops
We can design a custom, two-day workshop that will enable your company’s planning and implementation team to identify the ROI-justified business needs for the new Unified Communication (UC) solutions available in the market.  You'll then learn how to then convert those needs into a 3- to 5-year plan for design, selection and implementation of the optimal selection of UC systems, software, equipment and procedures.
