Innovation Showcase 2023: Collaboration Reimagined
Today’s most popular UCaaS suites include telephony, messaging, and meetings. For most providers, this set of features evolved over several years. While evolution is good, there's also some benefit to a complete reimagining of modern collaboration. The Innovation Showcase in 2023 is looking for fresh takes on business collaboration. Solutions will be evaluated on how effectively they re-imagine modern communications and collaboration. Are voice, messaging, and meetings the right suite, or are other applications needed? We are specifically looking for new approaches that may include a stronger or different value proposition that spans workflows, integrations, mobility, meetings, WFH, or other.
There is no cost to apply to the Innovation Showcase; submit your application here. Please review our eligibility requirements:
