In addition, the show was an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technology and solutions being brought to market.

Key take-aways:

- 5G is coming and will be a true gamechanger to the ways businesses function
- Security continues to be a provider focus with many innovative, affordable solutions being offered to all sized businesses
- Provider systems for quotes, order processing, provisioning and post-sales are becoming streamlined and easier for partners and clients to navigate
- Cloud adoption is still strong and gaining momentum
- UCaaS is not a preference but an absolute need as more workers are on the go, working remotely and need to collaborate in this new age of business

As always, the conference was a time for the team to reconnect with longtime colleagues as well as make new connections. “It’s always inspiring to learn of new solutions and ways providers are adding value to our partners and clients,” said Amy Humphreys.

Pete Kraehmer reported, “UCaaS, Cloud, and security solutions continue to evolve, which is good news for our current and prospective clients.”
