If Your Employees Are Going to Watch Video Anyway, They Might as Well Be Watching Your Video

October 29, 2016

When was the last time that you read a memo and said to yourself, “Wow, that was a really great memo”?

Our inboxes are straining and the number of channels competing for our attention just seems to increase all the time. Which creates kind of an odd dilemma for internal communications staff—by rights, the stuff they have to say should have a massive impact on the company, but realistically, it’s all too easy to ignore.

Which is why I find it interesting that an increasing number of organizations seem to be turning to streaming video as a way of getting their own employees’ attention. It makes a certain amount of sense. I’d make a reference to the increasing number of Millennials in the workforce, but let’s be honest—we all like video.

Programmable SIMs for IoT, How DIDs Fit in and Alexa Fun

May 29, 2016

"Twilio ramps up mobile play with programmable SIMs for IoT and handsets with T-Mobile," says Ingrid lunden at TechCrunch. The idea behind Twilio’s programmable wireless is to use SIM data instead of reliance on WiFi, bluetooth and other networks, so that programmers can build apps on the go using Twilio’s network and now ... data / Internet.

People can more easily bring their own devices, not monitored by their office network, and thus, they will have their own Internet with them all the time.

Listen to MYCOM OSI president and CTO Mounir Ladki, who has been recognized twice by "Global Telecoms Business" as one of the leading 40 under 40 executives in the Telecoms industry worldwide. At AfricaCom 2015 in Cape Town this year, I noticed the MYCOM OSI team was always swamped with conference participant conversations, so I asked if I could record a conversation with Mr. Ladki about 5G, OTT, smart automation and analytics and other topics pertinent to communications service providers who are ready to become digital service providers.
