More people with smartphones…
More Internet access points with the growth of Wi-Fi and hot spots…
More developer platforms and the rise of real-time communications APIs…
The freelance economy is the future of work, even in the traditional workplace. Getting things done, especially in the hyper-connected information age, is happening more and more remotely, and is increasingly being measured in “job units.” How productive the coming generations of workers are will likely be measured less by “punching the clock” and more by “finishing the job” – one job after the other.
With billions of dollars being directed toward the virtualization of network functions through more sophisticated and scalable software solutions, making the processing and management of sessions increasingly efficient, and real-time communications more profitable – where is the real upside for service providers and enterprises going forward?
Over-the-Top (OTT) service providers, like Skype, Google, WhatsApp and Netflix are riding on top of Communications Service Providers (CSPs) capex-intensive infrastructure by delivering Web and mobile competitive offers either directly (pure OTT VoIP applications) or indirectly (embedding voice, video and messaging into social, mobile, or gaming apps).
I came to GENBAND in February of this year. I joined the company because of my past experience with David Walsh and his ability to lead. You see, I am all about innovation and execution. For ideas to turn into innovation it requires a winning culture.
Culture can be defined as the cumulative IQ of the team, past experiences, attitudes and willingness of the group of people of an organization to win. Culture is the critical environment in which ideas will thrive or die. Winning cultures require teamwork.
Everything in the communications industry is changing – again. Today, GENBAND is formally launching Kandy and after opening this powerful “Platform-as-a-Service” to a handful of our partners as part of an “early access” program, tonight we will be sharing their applications, which will prove to the world that communicating in real-time will never be the same. Those partners include massive companies like SAP, IBM and Tech Mahindra, as well as smaller start-up companies.
Is the Software Evolution of Telecom Now A Revolution?
The Next, Next Generation of Software Driven Networking & Real-Time Communications
Is mobile application development become easier and more creative than ever? We think so! Will this drive even more useful, entertaining and sophisticated experiences, fanning the flames on the already red hot mobile ecosystem? Most definitely. Is the very definition of the mobile ecosystem changing, even as the real-time communications industry moves up into the applications layer with more “software everywhere?” Roger that!
As GENBAND recently announced its participation in the Intel Network Builders NFV ecosystem, I thought I’d write about the importance of ecosystems in the context of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined infrastructure solutions.
We are experiencing a tremendous response to one of our most unique offerings, which makes it possible for our partners to serve customers with Nortel investments by keeping their networks – and phones – in place by providing a centralized session management platform connecting multiple branch offices.
