    Jul 31 2024
    Revolutionizing MSP Operations with Mobile-First Quoting, AI Integration, and Bleeding-Edge VoIP Infrastructure at Viirtue, Part of 2 of 3 “Your typical, you know, a small business on Main Street America doesn't really understand how AI works or how it gets put together and integrated into their daily tools,” says Dan Rosenrauch of Viirtue. “We think that just positioning our partners to be the trusted expert on AI, could be a pretty special thing growing.” In this second part of a three-part series on Viirtue, we take on infrastructure and Viirtue’s work with their clients in this space. In this podcast we learn how Viirtue is positioning their partners for success by opening a new data center, with a very considerable investment. AI requires state of the art infrastructure. “We have a commitment to ensure that our partners can deliver AI tools, we feel like MSPs and telcos are in a unique position to be the consultants for AI.” "SIP trunking is still a huge business, and we've just invested over six figures into our SIP trunking network, which is cool. We did the opposite of what you think. With our investment, we can lower our overall costs and we're looking to push those savings onto our partners. With this big investment into our SIP trunking network and some of the configurations we've done by optimizing our costs, we're able to optimize our partners' costs and therefore they can deliver a more affordable solution to their partners, or they can just take advantage of the better margins. Whatever works best for their business.” About Viirtue, Inc. Viirtue is an award-winning wholesale voice & UCaaS provider.

  • The essential role of AI-driven Professional Services Automation (PSA) software in revolutionizing project delivery and client collaboration, Rocketlane Podcast
    Jul 30 2024
    Srikrishnan Ganesan “In the professional services business, time is literally money,” says Srikrishnan Ganesan is the Co-founder and CEO of Rocketlane. “That's what you're selling. A typical use case is you need an approval from a client before you do the work you're meant to do and you're waiting on the client. Now, you reminded them today. Do you remind them again tomorrow? Does it get too pushy? These are decisions that individuals make and that's subject to their interpretation of how intense they should be in that engagement. When you take that control away from a person and make it more system driven, where you can set the expectations early on saying, hey, here's how we operate, here's how intense our engagement will be. And that's going to help all of us hold each other accountable and finish the project on time, on budget. I think everyone is better off and that's what an automated system is going help you accomplish.” In this podcast we look at the challenges organizations face in adopting AI for project management and underscores the essential role of AI-driven Professional Services Automation (PSA) software in revolutionizing project delivery and client collaboration. It emphasizes the significant losses due to inadequate project management and the lack of real-time data access for project managers. Rocketlane, a leader in customer onboarding and PSA, addresses these challenges by integrating advanced AI technologies into its platform to streamline resource management, communication, and compliance, thereby enhancing project success rates and efficiency. Co-founder and CEO Srikrishnan Ganesan asserts that Rocketlane’s AI-powered solutions are transforming project management by integrating AI and balancing it with human expertise for project scoping, scheduling, and task management, automated time tracking, resource allocation, project accounting, enhancing client engagement, and enabling real-time collaboration and communication tools for seamless client interaction.

    CallCabinet and Avaya: CallCabinet is an all-in-one solution for Avaya and cross-UC platform environments, Podcast, "We normalize their data to allow them to get real insight into what that data is." “We make sure that not only can we record the data effectively, but the way we deal with it, the way we store it is all up to industry and surpassing industry standards,” Ryan Kahan, CEO of CallCabinet. “The customers that are out there using Avaya are our customers. The number of contact centers that are using Avaya is still sky high and really has a large base. And I think it's just been ignored and underestimated for a long time, and we're hoping to change that. We see a lot of our customers who may be using some of the newer technologies for their day-to-day communication.” In this podcast, we catch up with CallCabinet’s Avaya story. CallCabinet supports a multi-platform environment as well as multiple deployment types (cloud, prem, hybrid), which is what many Avaya customers are working with. CallCabinet can also help with legacy and proprietary data migration - whether this is needed to future-proof their cross-platform organization or because they are moving away from only using Avaya. With CallCabinet, transitions are seamless, and recording data is compliant and safe. CallCabinet integrates seamlessly with both Avaya AURA and Avaya IP Office. “We’re able to give them real insights into what's happening in their contact centers and in their data.” “We normalize their data to allow them to get real insight into what that data is. And if they want to hand it off to somewhere, it's obviously in a standardized format that, you know, across the platforms. But also that we're able to give them real insights into what's happening in their contact centers and in their data.” CallCabinet tackles the compliance challenge, and then provides insights, in real time, to the data that’s being generated. The idea is not only stay on the right side of the regulatory regimes, but to be able to utilize the data as well. The company also keeps contact centers in compliance according to the laws of the various nations, which for many big entperise Avaya users, is a realistic scenario. “It's not unusual for customers to be using Avaya in the contact center, Bloomberg turrets in their trading desks, uh you know teams for their you know day-to-day communication uh slack for you know for other communication and what we do is we bring all of that together so we record all of the various environments we take that data we normalize it we store it based on where the customers’ needs are for compliance or regular regulatory purposes so we may have one customer who's got a contact center in the UK and they want those calls stored in you know in in the UK, but they need to store their Teams conversations in Europe or in South Africa or in the US. And we have that all with one single pane of glass view. Ultimately, the customer logs into one place, they know that all of their calls are recorded and stored where they need to be, but they can search through everything and all of their data through one portal, one location… We normalize their data to allow them to get real insight into what that data is. And if they want to hand it off to somewhere, it's in a standardized format across the platforms.” CallCabinet’s all-in-one compliant recording and analytics solutions deploy quickly and seamlessly. Avaya is often a long-standing legacy platform that organizations rely heavily on, where multiple tools or UC platforms have been added on to.
