Voxeo Talks

At VON 2009 in Miami Beach, FL, Voxeo’s Dan York joined Thomas Howe and Suresh Bhandarkar to discuss the topic of applications and “app stores”. The abstract of the session was: The Apple App Store has proven the value of embracing third-party application developers to bring innovative, sticky and useful applications to subscribers. But how can service providers leverage the idea? To date device manufacturers like Research in Motion Ltd. and Palm Inc., or platform providers like Google Inc. and Broadsoft Corp. have led the applications charge-and reaped the benefits. This session will examine where carriers fit into the value chain ? and how they can build viable ecosystems of their own. … although Dan and Thomas took it in different directions in a lively and spirited discussion.

Beyond Boxes: The Future of the PBX – On September 21, 2009, at the VON 2009 conference in Miami Beach, FL, Voxeo’s Dan York, Director of Conversations joined a panel discussion about the future of the PBX. Though the PBX has been the heart of enterprise telephony and arguably the heart of the business itself, hosted and cloud-based telephony are finally convincing customers to loosen their death grip on gear in the on-premises closet. This session will explain the advantages, such as ever-current applications, support for distributed workforces and (ironically) unprecedented user-level control. And, oh yeah, its opex-based model is pretty great for cash-strapped companies, too.
