GENBAND Employees Step Up Again – Making Real-Time Connections Possible For Those in Need!

With our company’s annual Global Day of Service  fast approaching on June 1st, I was recently reminded of what a unique privilege I have - being a part of such a giving and caring group of professionals.

Each year GENBAND team members volunteer thousands of hours working at local charities and non-profit organizations that are most near and dear to them.

The Five Trends in Service Provider Network Transformation from our Conversations with Global Leaders

Over the last several years, we have been working with some of the largest and most successful Communications Service Providers (CSPs) in the world, and it's been fascinating to be part of their transformation teams, contributing to their large-scale projects, as virtualized and software defined networks emerge and legacy networks continue to fade into the past.

According to industry analysts, it takes CSPs an average of 9 - 18 months to launch a new service on existing appliance-based networks.

Change or lose. Transform and win. Transformation in the real-time communications software industry is all around us - there is software everywhere, in the network, on the edge, on devices and endpoints, in the applications and embedded in applications. Nothing is standing still, and those who develop a score for transformation will orchestrate value creation while the rest will be doomed to cacophony.
