#SonusPredicts: Looking Ahead into 2015
We’re well into the New Year and by now you have probably seen a ton of predictions about the coming year in technology. But will you remember them as the year goes on? A key piece of a prediction that is often overlooked is judging its accuracy when the time comes. Below you will see all of the predictions our executives made as part of the #SonusPredicts campaign. As you can see, we’re very excited about 2015 and think it’s going to be a huge year for network virtualization, mobile carriers and real-time communication in the enterprise. Sometime around Thanksgiving next year we’ll take a look back and see how we did with these predictions. In the meantime, feel free to share some of your own with a comment below or a tweet using #SonusPredicts. Happy New Year!
